Who can't identify?

Rating: Null/10 (4 September 2000)

Who can't identify somewhat with Winona Ryder's character or one of the other characters in this movie? I found myself identifying with several different characters at different times in the film. I loved them at one moment and hated them the next. But I always wanted them all to be okay. I always wanted them to *feel* better. I wanted them to succeed and to be able to move on with their lives. I felt those girls could easily be my friends and I thought about what I could do to help them. It also made me think about my own struggles - - which made it both interesting and difficult to watch.
I couldn't help to think it would be so easy to end up that way. I can see this happening to anyone - - it's such a thin line! Look at Lisa, (Angelina Jolie's character) for proof! (Weren't there times you thought she was really okay?) Who hasn't gone a little crazy? Who hasn't been a little depressed? Who hasn't been a little lazy? Who hasn't been a little stressed?

So I felt for those girls and their struggle to overcome their personal demons to become healthier, happier people.
"Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted."
