"Good luck crazy bitch." "Now what kind of a tree can you be on the floor?" "I'm a fucking shrub, alright?!" Great scene!
“ *74 is the perfect weight* “. that line slightly broke my heart because it was so real. anorexics could be on the verge of death & still in their minds be perfectly healthy. I was there once before.
jasmine joonie I lost my period for over a year and was still convinced I was huge. The first time a boy asked me out I ran away because I was SURE he was asking out ‘the fat girl’ as a joke. Being the fat girl was my identity. I knew it so deeply that little things like my friends and family TELLING me I wasn’t fat, losing my period, getting sent to therapy didn’t matter or “wake me up”; my mind just did mental gymnastics to dismiss it or make it a good thing. At one point I even considered getting periods a sign of BEING TOO FAT and if i spotted any blood I’d starve myself for days as punishment for getting so fat as to actually be able to grow a whole other person from my excess calories. I even convinced myself that any data telling me to gain weight (like my BMI) was some kind of PC conspiracy designed to coddle fat girls. The break from reality than an eating disorder can cause is no joke
@@Mugruncher that sounds so awful. I hope you are doing better.
@@SharonVeeLee I’m on antidepressants, I now menstruate monthly, but I still live in a weird zone where I don’t know what I look like. It’s like every mirror is a funhouse mirror. One minute I’m thin, the next I’m fat. I don’t own a set of scales. I try to measure my health in terms of what I can DO (can I run long distance? Can I menstruate? Can I do a pull/push up?) I’ve come to accept that my body at its most capable wont look like a magazine because magazine images don’t show women at their most capable, and in fact are photoshopped versions besides.
I wish, from the bottom of my heart, that girls of the future prioritise their health over their appearance.
I try to live my life in accordance with health, not image. I try to prioritise me, not the image I want people to see. I’ve changed physically. I’m actually kind of buff in the arms and shoulders because I live alone on an island and I swim and fish and hunt and farm a lot. (Covid and bushfires really fucked our island and ive had to step up; in a weird way it’s beeen good for me)
But still; Recovery is hard and annoying when people carelessly make comments about how I look man-ish. Usually older women who married young, as is done on this island (I went to boarding school on the mainland, which is where my eating disorder spiked)
In short. I’m doing okay. Not throwing up my food, but I AM still dealing with the consequences of having done that (for real. Acid reflux SUCKS and bulimia makes that shit a thing. Years after you stop, the sphincter between your stomach and your throat will be for shit and you won’t be able to sleep laying down, just DONT DO IT)
I don’t date because. I don’t even know what I look like. (Except apparently I have big arms and shoulders) and I worry that I won’t be able to accept someone who sees me as beautiful if I can’t see it myself.
But for now; being healthy enough to hunt and farm is okay. I don’t dwell on the mirror. I take my meds. I try to listen to my body. Perhaps one day I’ll be able to see it, and perhaps one day I’ll be able to accept the version that someone sees.
If you struggle with your image or weight please please please talk to someone. Your health is the most precious thing. More precious than the eyes that fall on you. More precious than the standards you’ve set yourself. Please look after yourselves xxx
i miss being 74...
I miss it.
The instructor was my college acting teacher. I had a stutter for years and she basically taught me how to speak
real random but do you have any tips for the stutter thing?
@@lulu-xd4se I just practiced speaking. I was up in front of my class so often that it just got easier. Don’t try to talk too fast. Think what you want to say first. Don’t let your eyes wander all over and try to make eye contact
DeSales? Same! I love Anne Lewis, she was like your surrogate mom.
that is so cool!
Were you also a tree or shrub or some other such plant?
"I'm a fucking shrub alright!!" I absolutely love that scene, it's emotional but funny
What I think impacted me most about this film is that you never feel "safe." Even in surprisingly silly and relaxing moments, you never know what is going to trigger someone into a melt-down or shouting match. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, but you always know it COULD happen. Every time someone gets out, the other girls have a tendency to view her with contempt and/or jealousy, as the exits from the facility are rarely ever framed in a positive way to the others still stuck inside. As Lisa also knows, and the doctor says to Susanna in one scene, nobody ever gets "better." (As we later learn was absolutely the truth of Daisy's situation, of which the doctors were either completely ignorant of, or just didn't care enough or didn't have the authority to stop.)
Janet was my favorite character in this movie. She was moody and always very blunt and to the point. She didn't sugar-coat anything. I can relate, I am alot like that.
Daydreams of a Vintage Girl yeah me too
That girl KILLED this scene tho 👏🏾👏🏾
Watch May (2002), she absolutely kills it. Incredibly underrated actor.
Janet's acting here is amazing, underrated character
I feel Janet's frustration in my spirit.
I graduated high school and university, yet I had to move out of home and to somewhere far away from family and friends for a job and it feels like a punishment.
My older sister didn't do any of that and still got to live at home. I envy her because if I knew that was a choice, I wouldn't have done all I did.
I know it's not her fault, but it feels unfair, so when Janet loses it, it feels cathartic.
I keep coming back to this clip because I have a relative who has ptsd now, and he had an outburst like Janet did in this scene, and I understood because I had watched this movie. It wasn't about being anorexic but the sudden breakdown didn't catch me off guard and I was able to comfort him
I cried. I can relate being frustrated with feeling treated unfairly
I'm a 31 year old man schizophrenia has robbed my mind since the age of 17 42 hospitalizations 2 nursing homes and 2 suicide attempts I have over 31 self inflicted facial lacerations and I've tried over 18 medications I do not know if I can keep living with schizophrenia I feel nothing but this movie is my FAVORITE
I am sorry, friend. I wish you nothing but the best, all day everyday.
Praying for you Daniel ♥️ 🕊
You can make it. You're special dear.
Are you virgin?
Do you have friends?
Im 31 too,not schizo but a total loser
I like your name. Reminds me of someone close to me.
I always struggled being OVERweight and this scene made me tear up when i first saw it. I hope girls like her know girls like me understand and care for them 😢
It’s funny how Angelina Jolie looks a lot older than Winona Ryder, yet she’s the older one.
Winona does not age like us regular mortals.

Mood. I’m a shrub too
Me too

I'm a fucking shrub, alright?

Me after seeing effortlessly pretty girls
I liked how the instructor said, “branches”
If she said stump I would’ve died
We dealt with issues of extreme anorexia and bullemia with 4 creators as source and husband. See ya kings county! Monique and Machiah 2007/2021
What's the song in this?
song name
Me right now because these two girls get to order food to school EVERY DAY and my mom only lets me get fast food like once or twice a month
Your health in later years will thank your mom for not allowing you to do that.
I was in your shoes until you realize their not eating fast food cos they’re spoiled they’re eating it because their parents aren’t around or don’t care enough to make them food, it’s the tip of the iceberg…
me and janet are the same person
I don’t get it, what was outside the window?
Hahah
Wait what’s the context behind this? Why’d she get upset at looking at the other girls outside? Can someone explain?
Daisy was being released.
1:06 does she mean 74 ibs or 74 kg?
lbs
@@korvotron oh shit
@@whosiness rightt
Who weighed 74 pounds? And why did she say that randomly
A character called Janet. In the book, it explains that (because she is anorexic), she is frequently force-fed when she dips under the weight of 75 pounds. She is also not allowed to leave the hospital unlike Daisy (the girl entering the car) who usually only checks in around Christmas time but in this instance is allowed to go home. Because of this, Janet envies her as she wants to leave hence her statement: “that is not fair, 74 is the perfect weight.”
Daisy also has an eating disorder which is part of several layers of issues as to why she’s in the hospital. It’s inferred that Daisy is being abused by her father (sleeping with one another) and because of that part of the MANY issues she’s dealing with is only eating the chicken he brings from his store. In the books it seems she’s only in the hospital because her mother might suspect what’s been going on so it’s “better/easier” to send Daisy away than deal with the fact her husbands an abuser.
Which is also why she only goes home for the holidays because “you have to keep up appearances” to the family & friends round that time of year. 100% they’d have said she was away at school or what ever between that time.
@@jamieclayton9353 thanks!! i've never seen the whole film -- not sure i want to, cause it can be a little triggering - - but the explanation helps, a lot :) :) :)
Let’s be honest here, Angelina & Winona are the same if not smaller than Janet lol I’m sorry I love this movie but it’s also so ridiculous
Rabbit TeaPot that’s not really the point? they don’t have eating disorders, janet does. eating disorders are not entirely about weight.
Do you know what an ED is.
No she’s definitely skinnier. And they don’t have eating disorders
From what I remember from the book, Janet would state different weights as ideals to attain. The movie doesn't have the time to explain all the details that the book does. It does convey Janet's frustration with her hospitalization, she hasn't managed to figure out what she needs to do in order to released.
Yeah, this is what the 90s were like. Most of the top actresses were extremely thin - they pretty much had to be. A size six woman on screen was considered "fat." For example, there were a zillion jokes about Kate Winslet "get fat" while filming Titanic. Movies and TV shows would do storylines where a character had anorexia, to be relevant, but usually the actress playing that character had about the same body frame as the main characters. So the unintentional message was for women and girls that it was good to be skinny, but you had to either be naturally skinny, or hide what you did to be that way. Things are not perfect now, but it's a lot better than 25 years ago.
