Girl Interrupted

When we were young, we dreamed of becoming things that weren't necessarily "long lasting fulfilling jobs" and usually changed our minds a million times. Maybe dreaming of becoming a superstar, hula dancer, professional juggler and work for the circus. As for me personally, I wanted to be a "pizza girl" and toss dough in the air and make pizzas all day long... but there comes a time when you realize that these dreams are unrealistic. Eventually these childish fantasy's disappear. You begin to think about a job that could help you maintain a steady income... like a doctor, teacher, or a lawyer. In the film Girl Interrupted, Angelina Jolie's character Lisa says she someday plans to become a professional Cinderella at Walt Disney...
In Lisa's fantasy world, anyone can be anyone, and anything could happen. Lisa roams around in her own little world by manipulating people, spying on their lives, and getting a background check on everybody. She feels as if she is in charge and everything is to happen her way. In Lisa's world, she imitates someone she is not.. she plays a role. In order for her to find her true self and stop pretending to be someone she's not, is the only way for Lisa to find her freedom...
