Girl, Interrupted

Seeing Girl, Interrupted for the first time I'd have to say it was a pretty intriguing movie. It kept my attention throughout the whole movie and made me recall back to the article we read in class, "The Yellow Wallpaper." Looking at the craziness of the women in the mental hospital made me realize how much of a less intense life Susanna was living and managing her problems. Although the bottle of vodka and the bottle of aspirin were a major destruction to the body, one could agree it to be a sign of suicide. From looking at today's society celebrities overdosing has become more prevalent. For Example, Brittany Murphy and Micheal Jackson, two important celebrities dying from overdosing. Has this changed the way one looks towards their problems? We look at the 1800's and the 1900's differently because of technology and drugs being available but the conditions are still similar within the lives of the women from the movie and today's lifestyle of many women.
