Movie Girl Interrupted: Portrayal of Truth in Hollywood Films Most people probably relate Hollywood to money. If a person lives in the Hollywood area, people assume that they are probably rich. If she or he is a Hollywood movie star, she or he probably makes a lot of money. Therefore, to follow this line of thinking, when Hollywood producers make a movie, they only do it for the money. And some directors seem to only make films for the money the films make. The action film "Die Hard", the fantasy film "Star Wars" and the adventure film "Jurassic Park" are examples of exciting films made just for money, satisfying the audience's appetite for escapism. However, these thoughts are not always true at all times. Sometimes Hollywood makes movies to show the audience the truth contained in the film. In the film “Girl, Interrupted,” the filmmakers balanced the book's dark realism with crowd-pleasing entertainment elements to make the film more comfortable. The graphic depiction of mental illness makes the audience feel its reality, while the use of attractive actresses captures the audience's attention and makes it easier to relate to the story.
