Title: Been there, done that
Product review: I rated "Girl Interrupted" a 4 star not because it was so outstanding, with the exception of Jolie's performance, but because it was made at all.In the late 60's and early 70's in a time of political and social ambivalence, it was very popular and yes, fashionable to hospitalize teenagers and young adults. The movie, for me, was an incredibly disturbing flashback of a time I had pushed in the farthest reaches of my mind."Girl" was true to the daily life, give or take the hospital, but became muttled. I plan to read the book for more clarity but wish more people would see this movie. They need to see "the other side" and remember that unfortunately some of these hospitals created adults, from children, whose NORMALITY IS INSTITUTIONS. They live, they work, they raise families but are not quite "in the swing" of society.
