Why Angelina Won That Oscar, Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                              It wasn't just that she was playing a mental patient.  It wasn't just that she is Jon Voight's daughter.  In "Girl, Interrupted," Angelina Jolie, as Lisa Rowe, blows everyone else off the screen.

                              You have all heard on here how I identify with Lisa, though I am not in a mental institution. Let us hope that is one life experience I am spared. And thanks to my lovely Monsieur, it looks like it.

                                  But Lisa is the most symbolic character in the film, and the counterpart to Susanna , in relation to the time the story takes place, which is 1967, when things are about to change.  Susanna represents what needs to change, while Lisa represents how that change will impact society after its full force has been felt. Which Lisa gives her fellow inmates a chance to experience and feel.

                                   The sadness of Lisa is that for every brave thing she does, there is fear behind it. Fear that she will become like everyone else, like Susanna, which is why she keeps pushing the envelope.

                                      When Lisa is hauled off early in the film (which I hope to show you, as it will give an excellent demonstration of why Angelina earned her trophy!!!!!!!!!) it is as much about defiance and fear.

                                         Lisa is all about trying to control the fear, while harnessing that defiance, so it can be used in constructive ways.

                                           So, watch this, and see why Angelina won.

                                           And, I swear, if anyone tries to mess with me, they will get their ass kicked!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                             Go, Angelina!  Go, Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
