"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."
In class the question was proposed why was the movie titled Girl, Interrupted? I think it was titled to describe Susanna's life interrupted by her time within the mental hospital and the change within herself that resulted from it. Before entering the mental hospital she lead life without taking responsibilities and she was not in control of her life. Susanna led her life like a child without thinking of the consequences of her actions and not admitting and dealing with the repercussions of them. During her stay at the mental hospital Susanna was confronted with fact that she needed to take charge of her life and decide what she was going to do with it. Susanna was forced to deal with her issues and decide if she was going to keep neglecting them if they didn't exist or overcome them. Her time there allowed her to grow into an adult and let her take control of her life.
