The main axis of the story is borderline personality disorder, and its characteristics have been mentioned in the first half of the film, and all events are narrated around the mental illness of the heroine. The first and most important is split personality. The film specifically gives dual personalities, namely Susanna who is good and Lisa who is evil, and secondly, about identity disorder and promiscuity, it is formed by projecting the appearance of her boyfriend on different characters . Others such as mood swings, violent suicide, poor interpersonal relationships, etc. are also shown in the film, which can also be said to be close to popular science or textbook descriptions, Winona Ryder's portrayal of the characters' inner contradictions and emotional grasp It's in place, and the excellent performance of another beauty, Angelina Jolie, is also very good.

Daisy: You're just jealous, Lisa... because I got better... because I was released... because I have a chance... at a life.
Lisa: They didn't release you 'cause you're better, Daisy, they just gave up. You call this a life, hmm? Taking Daddy's money, buying your dollies and your knick-knacks. And eating his fucking chicken, fattening up like a prize fucking heifer? You changed the scenery, but not the fucking situation - and the warden makes house calls. And everybody knows. Everybody knows. That he fucks you. What they don't know... is that you like it. Hmm? You like it.
Susanna: [to Lisa] Shut the fuck up!
Lisa: [to Susanna] Hey man, it's cool, it's okay. It's fine, it's fucking fine! A man is a dick is a man is a dick is a chicken... is a dad... a Valium, a speculum, whatever, whatever.
[then turns to Daisy]
Lisa: You like being Mrs. Randone. Probably all you've ever known.
Daisy: Have fun in Florida.

Valerie: [to Susanna] She thinks that bothers me.
