    One fun fact I learned today is that before he went on to become an extremely serious filmmaker on things like Cop Land, Girl Interrupted, Logan and others, James Mangold got his start working for Disney, writing a Sunday night movie titled The Deacon Street Deer, and also co-wrote Oliver & Company.

    CW // mental illness , suicide Got smacked a little hard watching Girl Interrupted because it was a little too relatable in places.

    "Passionate ambivalence" reminds me of a bit of dialogue from a movie (I think it was maybe Girl Interrupted?) about how ambivalence isn't apathy, but being pulled equally in opposing directions. You can be strongly ambivalent. That can be really compelling.

    The best Angelina Jolie movie for me is Girl Interrupted, which she rightfully won an Oscar for. But the movie I enjoy watching the most ? Maleficent. A better than it has any right to be wild reimagining of Sleeping Beauty that doubles as an allegorical (and unsubtle) date-rape revenge story. 🖤💚

    Girl, Interrupted is an okay movie about how 60s America sucked and there was an appeal to trying to dip out, undone by the fact that James Mangold absolutely thinks Winona Ryder's character comes out of it looking well
