Saw "Girl Interrupted", starring Wynona Ryder and Angeline Jolie, directed
by Norman Jewison, yesterday. A very good film, many fine performances,
especially Ryder, Jolie and the young lady who's dad got her an apartment;
would have liked the film even better if Ryder and Jolie had did the "wild
thang" with each other, instead of the lukewarm obligatory sex scene where
Ryder and her "boyfriend" teamed up. Thought it was going to come off when
Ryder reached over in the car and pecked Jolie on the lips. But no dice!
Very disappointed, high anticipation for a hot girl-girl encounter. Still
a moving film though. Highly recommended. Rated R, not for young children.
*** out of ****
I like Wynona, and it looks like Jolie's(Jon Voight's daughter, btw) performance is excellent, but I have Whoopiphobia, so I'll probably wait for the video of this one. That way I can FF thru Whoopi. Just one of those actresses I can't stand to watch. Rosie Perez is another...Bernadette Peters...Bette Midler...Rosie O'Donnell...Costner...Keanu(most of the time)...Adam Sandler...
Almost my exact sentiments! With the exception of Keanu, whom I don't
find offensive, I don't care for Whoopi either, but grudgingly decided to
give the devil her due. Add Pauly Shore to the list....
Keanu bugs me, but not as severely as the others.
if that's all that interests you, you may want to buy ...
Re-read my post and you'll see that's not all I'm interested in. Please
don't condescend and make it seem that is the case. My purient interest
aside, I feel the film would have definitely benefited as an artform from
a passionate, but aesthetically tasteful, erotic encounter between the
two girls. The direction of the plotlines simply begged for it, why tease?
IMO, inclusion of the scene would have portrayed a deeper love and trust,
cementing their emotional bond, thus heightening the dramatic impact when
they separate at the end of the film. - AH
To present further evidence that sex was not the only thing I was interested in concerning the film, consider this: I have questions about Jolie's
character Lisa, who is labeled a "sociopath", or more technically, one
who suffered from Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD), and who had been in
and out of the institution for eight years.
One of the characteristics of sociopathy is that the person doesn't have
a normally functioning conscience and does not experience the necessary self-
prohibitive/ retributive guilt that regulates behavior.
I found it somewhat hard to believe Lisa could make such a sudden change
in her psyche and heal a defective conscience, or at least, begin the
road to recovery on healing. I'm not saying it's impossible, but only
improbable. I've always gotten the impression that sociopaths are extremely resistant to healthy change and rarely ever improve, even with
therapy. More often than not, they manipulate naive therapists and make
life a living hell for them! I don't take a hard stance on this, however,
perhaps she was one of the few who do change and see the need to change,
especially when preceded by the immediate events with Ryder's character.
OTOH, how could Lisa resist the common psychological defense mechanisms of
denial, rationalization, transference and projection when confronted by
the many horrible things she'd done to people in the past, especially on
admitting responsiblity for the recent hanging suicide of Daisy (Britanny Murphy), the incestuous, severly psychoemotionally girl whose father
rented her an apartment. ?????????????????????????????????????????????
