unlabelledView post →One fun fact I learned today is that before he went on to become an extremely serious filmmaker on things like Cop Land, Girl Interrupted, Logan and others, James Mangold got his start working for Disney, writing a Sunday night movie titled The Deacon Street Deer, and also co-wrote Oliver & Company.

unlabelledView post →CW // mental illness , suicide Got smacked a little hard watching Girl Interrupted because it was a little too relatable in places. "Once it's in your head, though, you become this strange new breed. Make a stupid remark, kill yourself. You like the movie, you live. Miss the train, kill yourself."

unlabelledView post →"Passionate ambivalence" reminds me of a bit of dialogue from a movie (I think it was maybe Girl Interrupted?) about how ambivalence isn't apathy, but being pulled equally in opposing directions. You can be strongly ambivalent. That can be really compelling.

unlabelledView post →#HorrorWritersChat Q2 I am fully aware that it's reductive as heck & doesn't help anybody but I'm a sucker for a good crazy girl locked in an asylum. Think Brittany Murphy in Don't Say a Word, Jolie in Girl Interrupted or the entire film Gothika with Halle Berry.
unlabelledView post →The best Angelina Jolie movie for me is Girl Interrupted, which she rightfully won an Oscar for. But the movie I enjoy watching the most ? Maleficent. A better than it has any right to be wild reimagining of Sleeping Beauty that doubles as an allegorical (and unsubtle) date-rape revenge story. 🖤💚

unlabelledView post →Girl, Interrupted is an okay movie about how 60s America sucked and there was an appeal to trying to dip out, undone by the fact that James Mangold absolutely thinks Winona Ryder's character comes out of it looking well
unlabelledView post →i finished reading the book “Girl, Interrupted” by Susanna Kayden and WOW. i absolutely adored it. it’s so interesting how different the movie is from the book. the book genuinely has a “happy” ending (what can be that anyway) when the movie rly didn’t if i remember correctly?

Then I recognized her nurse outfit from Girl, Interrupted. Same name tag and all. Only Whoopi could be on the set of the bleakest movie and film a hilarious cameo.
