Some to misery are born;
Every morn and every night,
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night.

I saw the movie Speak, three years ago, and read the book in 2007. The main character has become an outcast, thanks to the fact that she called the police, and ruined a party. It isn't until later, that you find out her reason for doing so.

This is a snippet from Wikipedia. Don't visit the page, if you don't want to be spoiled (and don't already know what happened):

quote:

---

When school starts, Melinda is ostracized by all of her former friends and the other high school students who only know her as the girl who broke up the party. Formerly "a solid B Student," Melinda's grades sink to Ds and Fs as she becomes very ambivalent and withdrawn from friends and family. She begins to skip school, and aspires to nothing more than to take a nap. She even creates a makeshift hide-away in an abandoned janitor's closet at school, where she goes to sleep during the day or hide when she is feeling anxious. Her art class, run by the slightly eccentric Mr. Freeman, is Melinda's only saving grace. Her assignment for the course is to master the "tree" in artistic media throughout the year. Expressing herself artistically helps Melinda deal with her issues.

Again, thanks for sharing.

The Butterfly Effect Part I- very violent, but justly so, and a very intense, potent, introspective movie...

Uh, strictly speaking...I think it's more like sci-fi/fantasy/experimental genres. Still, I think I can relate to you, Cpn. To me, it is just mind-blowing. Years ago, knowflakes here recommended this movie. Then a couple of years later, when I discussed this film, the repliers said they didn't like it. (???)

Later. In a week perhaps.

Speaking of hope, I like Hope Floats, alot.

I love the story of The Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. I got my daughter hopelessly addicted to that movie.

A trace of pleasure or regret

Perhaps a coming of age story even more, it does deal with a 13-year-old (Astrid) who is shattered when her mom Ingrid is put in prison and she in the foster care system. Taking lessons from all her different foster moms (even more in the book), whether or not they ever should've been foster moms in the first place, she was able to finally heal her mind and stand up to her mother, getting all the answers & secrets her mother kept from her (btw, includes astrology in it, where Claire & Ingrid are talking, in both the movie and book versions).
