п»їInnocence Interrupted is the title of a dramatic film directed by James Mangold. This film gave a lot to talk about at the time of 1999, having
a great reception from the public and critics. In fact, Angelina Jolie, thanks to her performance in this film, won the Oscar and the Golden Globe for
Best Supporting Actress in 2000.
If you are interested in the world of psychology and psychiatry, you have to see this movie! It is about a teenager, named Sussana Kaysen, who is
diagnosed with a personality disorder. As a result, she is admitted to a prestigious psychiatric center, where she meets several girls her age with
more serious problems than her own. The life experience of her classmates, and the wise advice of her tutor, will help her overcome her fears and take
charge of her life.
"Have you ever mistaken a dream for life? Or have you ever stolen something while having money? Have you ever been sad? Or did you think the train
moved when it was still? Maybe I was crazy, maybe it was the 1960s?"
-Susanna Kaysen
A very successful film
Innocence Interrupted was very successful in the United States. However, European audiences were slower to discover it and one could safely say that
it was a "videoclub" success, that is to say, a late success and the result of word of mouth. One of the "hooks" of the feature film is its cast of
actresses, including Winona Ryder, Angelina Jolie and Whoopi Goldberg.
"I know what it's like to wish to die. What it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in, but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to kill your
inside."
-Winona Ryder (Sussana Kaysen).
Another meritorious purpose of this film, based on the autobiography of Sussana Kaysen herself, is the image projected of psychiatric hospitals,
moving away from the typical stereotypes that make people think that mental health centers are slums where anarchy and sordidness reign. Throughout
the film, the innate harshness of such a place is depicted, but contextualized within a framework of professionalism and empathy adopted by the
employees of the center.
Innocence Interrupted, a very deep workWe are before an abnormal work because of the depth of its characters and the way in which we get to know its
protagonists. In just a few seconds, we can discover their fears, their problems, their weaknesses, their past, etc.
So that, without realizing it, we are completely introduced into the story, unable to escape the charms of each of the girls in the psychiatric
hospital. In fact, at certain moments, we may even identify with some of them.
Therefore, it can be said that Innocence Interrupted humanizes everything that, by stereotyping, the cinema itself has vilified from the point of view
of psychology and psychiatry. In this case, it is more about maladjustment than madness.
"Borderline personality disorder. Instability of self-image, relationships and mood. Insecurity of goals. Self-injurious impulses such as casual sex.
I like that. Social denial and a generally pessimistic attitude often observed. That's me. That's all of us."
