Summary/Abstract: Film is a medium which reaches viewers strongly. Besides its entertainment function, it has influence on shaping attitudes. However, it is a work of art and has its own principles. It is important to maintain moderation in presenting content, so that it is close to reality and does not harm anyone. The paper concentrates on the audio-visual work by James Mangold, Girl, Interrupted. It is known to wide audience, therefore it is worth considering the content which it conveys. The paper presents the results of the author’s analysis based on available literature.
