So I watched the movie again last night, and there is just something I still wonder.
The girl who Britnany Murphy played, whose dad fucked her and she got her own apartment in the end and always said "asshole". I don't understand what her disorder was. Like why did she just eat chicken and how she ate it by picking it? and then needing to poo?

i dont know, i think they were just some of her weird behaviours. could be anything!

Yeah, I've wondered the same thing. It must be a mix of schizophrenia and something else.

obsessive compulsive disorder?
also she didn't eat the chicken, did she? i thought she just kept it under her bed? so maybe she had an eating disorder as well

'I need new clothes', she thinks, 'new skin, a mind I can bear to live in'.

If you only eat one type of food, it affects your bowel movements, constipation, etc. She was probably a schizophrenic or had tried to kill herself before or something. That character is so sad.

in the film she would only eat the chicken her dad brought her, and she collected them under her bed to show the nurse that she had eaten and took laxatives to poop it out. i think she had some sort of OCD, almost eating disorder as some sort of desperate attempt to gain control.

oh i didn't know this.

Daisy!!!

The song that plays when Susanne (is that the name?) finds her is so beautiful..Skeeter Davis "the end of the world".

I always just thought she had depression and obsessive compulsive (her thing about the chickens was ridiculous).

Yea!! Daisy is her name. Britnany Murphy did such an excellant job with that character. She really made her have her own fucked up world that you wanted to know more about.
I loved in that movie how EVERYONE smoked & we're smokers.

i make fun of your terrible spelling a lot, but that really isn't fair.
you're a fucking moron regardless of spelling.

Has anyone read the book too? I am wondering how much diffrent it is from the actually film. I am consindering reading it eventally. The other person whose disorder they did not clear up with the "dyke girl" , the fat one. Not the one with torrets, but the one with bangs. They didn't seem to play on her much either.

the main difference is there are no moving pictures that talk.

still "consindering" reading it?

there are allot of scenes from the movie that aren't portrayed in the book and I didn't like that

Yes, but you must realise that the book was written before the film was made, and most of those extra scenes probably weren't even true, or were just exaggerated events put in to make it less boring. If they'd actually stayed true to the book, the film would have been so dull.

geez, what the hell is your problem?

I read the book after seeing the movie because I loved it so much and honestly I was bored throughout the book. I didn't really like her style of writing and that probably had a lot to do with it.

yes, in my opinion, the book was pretty bad and boring. i've only seen the last half of the movie, but from what i've seen they made it ALOT beter.

the book sucked so bad.

yes, the book was boring. i only bought it after i saw the movie and still haven't figured out why.

Absolutely. In the book Lisa is barely psychopathic at all. I mean, she goes and has kids years later, ffs. That was my main disappointment with the true story.
