Girl Problems

“Georgina lies only to people who keep her
Pollys sweetness and purity arent genuine at all, but a desperate attempt to make it easier to look at her
Others bein villains, Susanna always the sweet pea, everybody congratulates all her bravery
Lisa keeps comin back just to feel alive"

"The world is not full of lies, you just don't see the hypocritical side of yourself"

I would prefer to see this movie as a continuation and exaggeration of teenage gal problems. To be able to see the shadows of some of the pain or struggle that I have grown up is more like the story of another prominent character The Virgin Suicide. But the focus of the movie is still on the diagnosis of mental illness in the 1960s. The confrontation between individuality and public choice is not deep enough, the characters are not full enough, and some logic is not clearly explained. Fortunately, there are actors who can hold up some scenes.
Its alright, babe, its cool

Girl, Interrupted quotes

  • 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.

    [she goes upstairs to her room]

  • Janet: I want my fucking clothes!

    Valerie: Then you'll have to eat something, won't you?

    Janet: [singing] Oh Lordy, pick a bale o' cotton / Oh Lordy, pick a bale o' hay / Gotta jump down spin around pick a bale o' cotton / Jump down spin around, pick a bale o' hay...

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