Prozac Nation (2001) Title: Prozac Nation Released: 2001 Genre: Drama Runtime: 99 min Country: USA / Germany Language: English Tagline: Young and depressed in america Plot Summary: Elizabeth, a prize-winning student, is headed for a prestigious college. As she's packing to leave, her mother harangues her about her choice of school, establishing the modus operandi for what will prove to be the turbulent core of their relationship: an ongoing game of emotional extortion. When Elizabeth arrives at university, she quickly befriends her roommate Ruby and almost immediately recreates the same powder keg she has just left behind. The situation is exacerbated by her visits to a rather suspicious psychiatrist. Matters deteriorate further when Elizabeth runs into her father and when she decides that her most recent boyfriend Rafe represents deliverance. Her only choice, ultimately, is Prozac--the wonder drug of the nineties. However, before long, Elizabeth is wondering whether the drug is really helping her--or running her life. Comments: I loved this movie. Elizabeth Wurtzel is my favorite author and Prozac Nation is one of her best books, if not the best. Her openness about her life and sarcasm make her amazing. She's truly an inspiration! I would recommend this movie and her books(Prozac Nation, Bitch, etc.)to everyone!

Personal quotes "I certainly hope I'm not still answering child-star questions by the time I reach menopause." "I spend a lot of time with my mother. When I'm doing movies, she's always with me. We spend days being bored in an apartment together waiting for someone to call and say I'm needed for a shot. Because we're together so much, we have to get along. We have to find ways to get to know each other. We've gone through a lot of stuff, you know, and I think we're pretty close." "I can be young and cute when I want to be, and I can be really mature when I want to be. It's kind of weird, like I'm the incredible changing girl, which is good because I can relate to adults and to people my age." (1995) "There are two sides of me, One is the professional side. When I'm working, I'm not a kid - and can't be. Otherwise no one would take me seriously. When I'm not working, I think I'm a normal 15-year-old." "If I hadn't gone into acting, I would have been one of those weird runaways on Hollywood Boulevard. No, It'd be uglier. I'd probably be dead." "I'm very shy. I can't even act that well when the camera's not on. I get really embarassed." "I don't have any training, and I don't believe in training. Of course, people who don't have any training always say that." "About Marilyn Manson's band: "I hate the things they preach. They found a gimmick that sells. The fact that they're making money off all these teenage kids who actually believe in their message is disgusting." "For years, I hated myself. I covered the mirrors in my house. I literally couldn't have a mirror in my room. I still can't sit in a restaurant or someplace where I can catch my reflection. I get so paranoid. " "I'm not perfect-looking and I don't say the right things, I'm a little different, nothing really special, but I guess I come across as a little more real to people and that comes through on the screen. I know I look young, but with the right make-up I can look older. I definitely feel older." "My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also, it's incredibly romantic." "I like playing people who are so afraid and ashamed of who they are and so disgusted by everyone around them that they decide to become the ultimate extreme of what they're afraid they are." "I don't think I'll be reformed until I'm well into my fifties." "You have to excuse me because I AM a teenager, so I'm allowed to sound illiterate and make stupid comments like 'I'm not into hard-core feminism." "I think the main reason a lot of child stars don't make it is that it's hard to see someone as cute and then all of a sudden see them as having more depth. I guess I was just lucky that, when I was little, nobody thought I was that cute." "(On smooching Johnny Depp)We actually had some sex scenes, which was very strange. In front of 20 people on the set, with someone who was 27, who you met for the first time when you were nine. It was a little weird." "I know he's got a girlfriend, but I could so corrupt him. He would be a hot date, and that is what I need right now. I have met him, so I know what I am talking about here. He's a nice, home-loving boy with a great body and great eyes. And when he reads this, he's probably going to run a mile. - about her crush on Josh Hartnett " Christina Ricci - Filmography Below is a complete filmography (list of movies she's appeared in) Monster (2003) ....
