My Favorite Movie

I have a lot of movies that I love…so choose one it´s very difficult.
But one of my favorite movies is Girl Interrupted.


Winona Ryder plays the main character as Susanna Kaysen, a young girl who was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder in 1967 and was sent to a renowned New England psychiatric hospital, named Claymoore, where she spent the next two years in a ward for teenage girls.
There Susanna loses herself in a world of seductive and disturbed young women: among them Lisa, who is played by Angelina Jolie, who is a charming sociopath who stages a disastrous escape with Susanna, Daisy, an antisocial, pampered girl with an eating disorder, and Polly, a remarkably kind burn victim. Ultimately, assisted by the hospital`s head psychiatrist, Dr. Wick, and a ward nurse, Valerie.
Susanna, such as Dorothy in the OZ, resolves to leave this OZ world and reclaim her life.
I think that my favorite part is at the end of the film, when she leaves the psychiatric hospital Claymoore, and she gets into a taxi, and she is released back into society.
She acknowledges in voice-over that by the early 1970`s most of her friends in the ward has been released. Some of them, she saw, some of them…never again. But regardless, she will never forget any of them and she will always have a place in her heart for them.

I really like this movie, first of all, because it is based on Susanna Kaysen`s memoir.
And I like this kind of movie, real and with topics like psychology and madness. It is the type of movie that makes you think about life, the relationships… and the instability and intensity that there is on them.
I love the characters of this movie, especially Susanna, because I feel related to her, since we can drive ourselves crazy sometimes, but it is our choice to get over with it.
And, I also love Winona Ryder. I think that she is an amazing actress and her performance in this movie along with Angelina Jolie, it is perfect and full of emotions.
I don´t know that I would change something in the movie if I could… but I know that there are parts that actually didn't happened in Susanna`s life, like the escape with Lisa…so maybe, I would´t put that, on the movie, because I would like it to be real and honest with the Susanna´s memoir.
But, I understand that sometimes the directors fill in with more drama their movies to gets more  attention from the public, but that would be it.
