So I watched #LuckiestGirlAlive yesterday -
It's the most relatable and realistic depiction of my experience with my quiet #BPD and my brand of #plurality I've ever seen, though it pathologizes nothing.
Apparently it's a book, which I plan on reading.
The movie telegraphed more than enough info I could tell the protag was plural pretty early.
I've never seen this side of me represented in media before.
TW for it: some lengthy/graphic intox rape + school shooting scenes.
Like, I couldn't necessarily relate to the MC's lifestyle in adulthood
but fragmenting yourself just to be the person expected so you can survive... That resonated a lot.
It was surprising how much it spoke to me.
Reminds me of the revelatory nature of reading Laurie Halse Anderson's "Speak" when I was 11.
@sugarCunt I've added and removed this from my queue a few times because it seems interesting, but could easily be exploitative garbage.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
*checked, and it's still in my queue this time
@ricardoharvin
There might be a legitimate conversation about the gratuitousness of the school shooting or assault scenes.
I couldn't believe I was watching the former in 2022. It was long, too. Not a trigger for me like the latter were so I didn't skip the whole thing, but still hair-raising.
But the depiction of the main character? Without having the book for comparison, I think it was really amazing and humanizing, and Mila Kunis did great.
