The Best Little Girl In The World - Part 5

[@Funtabulosity329]

First of all, I love that photo above Casy's bed! It's a classic! And also...people need to understand that Casey's entire family is part of the problem-not just Casey, not just her dad, not just anybody-all of them as a whole. Since they're all part of the problem, they all need to be part of the solution. That's why the family therapy session near the end was really why made a HUGE difference, and was the great beginning in Casey's recovery.

[@jsrcamp]

ok I got to say I was SOOO HAPPY when she bit her Father, the mom at least was trying to get her a healthy meal, but the dad wasnt even listening to her.

[@depecheaholic]

I think I'd go bonkers if my parents were like that.

[@TheEmpressReborn]

They're all screwed up.

[@Fliptwisttt245]

her dad is like my dad too.One minute he's shouting and yelling and the next minute he's so nice!

[@Manny0219]

"happy new year everybody. happy new year to my happy, happy family." lol

[@93seronica]

The sarcasm 😂

[@bobbyanneBinnenweg]

she's so beautiful...

[@titanramfan]

Suddenly I have this strange hankering for a pancake breakfast--eggs, bacon, OJ, the works over at IHOP tomorrow morning....Hee hee hee.

[@thebjm1967]

i love the decor in their house. it reminds me of growing up in the 80's

[@koln1996]

1981 was a great year!!!

[@GEhotpants101]

The father really isn't as bad as he seems. He just doesn't know how to react anymore. He's only frustrated and scared that his little girl is hurting herself, and there's nothing he can do. It's just a parent's desperate reaction to something he can't control, and doesn't understand.

[@palefleur]

I loooove the fact that she bit him!!!

[@AnthonySouls]

At first, i didn't really like the father, sorta reminded me of mine, and then seeing this, i think he truly cares about his daughter. Like many have said, he just doesn't know how to handle it nor have the tools to cope with this kind of thing. But now seeing this part, i do feel sorry for her father, and see him in a different light. :)

[@eatingyumyum]

alot of parents acted like this back in the day.

[@93seronica]

My parents acted like that with me and I’m 30 so not that old

[@OSnapski]

yah exactly. hes just worried to death. i remember when i was refusing to go over my 60 calorie limit. my dads temper went out of control many times. its just because he loves me so much he couldnt stand to see me dying.

[@starrbeatlesqueen]

Aww, Casey's father was kind of sweet to offer to pick her up from school after feeling bad for the way he treated her the night before. Sad, how he yells at her again later on that day. He was just stressed because Casey has always been the good girl (while her sister acts like a spoiled brat).

[@Kristina-f7p]

"I had no idea her not eating would get this serious." Seriously? But really, who loses their period after a month and a half of restricting. Fabulous movie. Oh wait... :-/

[@OhPunky]

"happy new year to my happy, happy family" LMAO! k...sorry.

[@believeyourself92]

Craig had the right to get bitten in the hand for forcing Casey. he should know that's not going to stop her from dieting

[@Wii543]

It is possible to lose your period after a month and a half of restricting. It depends on your weight and health before getting to this point. I lost mine in less than two months because I barely ate and was extremely active. My fat percent dropped to below 10 % so sadly it is very possible..

[@gregorkrause]

I love those pre- RESCUE 9-1-1- was aired policecars and ambulance thus this was made in 1981, Rescue 9-1-1- was in 89.

[@gibbseyo]

@14christinaa I see where your coming from - but its sooo had to understand for some people. He's just very frustrated. Plus I'm guessing this is quite an old film - eating disorders weren't as well known years ago - he probably thinks what he's doing is best when in fact he's making it worse - its , unfortunetly a common mistake to make.

[@TheTealRobin]

i have an eating disorder. if my dad or ANYONE tried to put his finger INSIDE MY MOUTH id do more than bite his finger, I wouuldnt care for what purpouse he did it. It's abusive

[@merdershewrote371]

that dad is crazy

[@jusheather08]

I think the father had a horrible way of trying to handle the situation but at least he did care enough to do something, so many parents now days just look the other way and ignore their kids problems

[@banananutmuffin24]

Happy New Year to my happy, happy family.

[@grggmlss]

I know my dad tried to do that with me because he didn't know what else to do. The fact of the matter is that it doesn't work. I feel really sorry for her parents, there must be nothing like feeling so helpless.

[@DakotaGreyWolf]

@YankeeDoodlePoodle The way I understood it, was when the book fell, it was a symbol; that she was no longer in control, the disease now controls her as she gets weaker. It's just what came to my mind. I could be wrong on how I looked at it.

[@millsykooksy4863]

Dakota GreyWolf makes sense

[@wesaidsomething]

LOL when she fainted the music reminded me of the music in monty python with that killer rabbit :P:P

[@PhosphrescentEssence]

I cant imagine living in a home with that beast that (unfortunately for her) is her father. With his yelling and forcefulness. If I were the mother I would have called the police on him.

[@starrbeatlesqueen]

And the mom was the female lead in North by Northwest (1959). Even more interesting. :)

[@hailqueensatan]

I know her dad reacts in totally the wrong ways, but it really would be terrifying watching your child waste away, seemingly of their own volition. I feel so bad for him when he goes out and tries to talk to her about the football game and everything. He cares, he just doesn't know what to do.

[@MissLeigh78]

The father "ought to be locked up".

[@Maggie71286]

I feel bad for the dad, actually. I mean, he's going about helping her in all the wrong ways but I can see how scared he is for her.....

[@KyleA558]

we were looking for the scrapbook, but then we found a box and opened it, like the scrapbook was in there.. Makes sense..

[@futurehotchickin2009]

OMGoodness, her sister gets on my nerves!!

[@millsykooksy4863]

futurehotchickin2009 she annoys the hell out of me

[@brookedillman81]

The Dad is just frustrated and thats how parents react. He is scared that she will die. Like when a little child gets lost at the store and the Mum gets angry when she finds the child. Its a natural response. Thats why they have made him act like that. its realistic behaviour of a parent who doesnt understand the situation.

[@PlobyR]

What an evil father! Can't wait for you to post parts 6 - 10. xxx

[@snibjah]

well i think the father does simply not know what to do,, times were different back then and he only wants the best for his daughter.. i actually kinda like him

[@suelizjohnson]

@CrimsonVibrato In 2005 there were around 1200 people killed by their spouses, almost one third of the spouses who did the killing were women. I think you are very courageous! This is really touchy stuff!

[@xheatherxhungerx]

happy new year to my happy happy family hahahahaha

[@panelemiau]

yeah, it's true, i thought so too, when i saw her. she looks a bit like Emma. Nice :)

[@Reborn8303]

O shit that Doctor is Father Karras !!!!

[@panelemiau]

but she's so pretty, isn't she? and, i have an idea that she looks like Emma Watson, I mean the face. Thx God Emma's healthy :)

[@cledasmurf]

yes the exact same thing happened to me...it haunts me to this day. if you need someone to talk to please let me know i need to know more people whove been through this

[@savingthesquid]

AHAHAHA i know i love how she's just like all monotone all the time just like >:( says it as it is

[@omgitstiffy]

They did great camerawork in this movie

[@babybunnyberry]

@CrimsonVibrato 3) Do men use more violent ways to control women than the other way around? Definitely yes. This is simply as men are allowed to use violence a lot more, and even encouraged to translate a lot of their emotions as rage (frustration, concern, sadness). Do women start more fights than men? I'd love to read a scientific study that proved this either way.

[@airguitargrrl]

Reminds me of my father. Not really interested in what was going on in my mind when I was anorexic, just eager for it all to be over, so he didn't have to think about it anymore. Trying to put his daughter in a box regardless whether he injures her limbs.

[@mosquitosuicider]

that's so cruel...it looks like a nightmare, if her father actually thinks he can solve anything with his force- well he's wrong. it' s only making everything even worse,..

[@xxcharmed1xx]

"doctor i had no idea her not eating would get this serious" the first fucking doctor told her what would happen it kept continuing!!

[@Stardust_7273]

I know this is a weird comment but the EMT guys' uniforms look like parking attendants.

[@racekatt]

In certain shots the actor who plays the dad reminds me of Bill Clinton.

[@dabuffriders]

well that shut him the hell up! he would have felt so bad if she died when he was having a rant at her for making their lives miserable.

[@klouise18]

this is identical to what my house is like each and every day

[@jiggyballerina]

i feel bad for ny parents because during my freshmen year of high school, i would not eat at all! they ried to stick food down my throat, called my godmother to try to make me eat, etc. my bulimia and kind of anorexia was bad. i'm doing better now, but i still feel awful hat my parents had do deal with all of my problems.

[@lyndsaysrebornnurseryoffib4241]

The father forcing his daughter to eat won't help her eating disorder!! He has to show his love for her in a loving,caring and patient way not the way he shows his love for his daughter!! Get his daughter some real help for her eating disorder!! Before it's too late!!

[@OtterGirl84]

They're worlds apart, you can still get the book, it's so diifferent.

[@thingsthatneverwere]

i agree she does look like Emma Watson........

[@GEhotpants101]

@missgracegallagher She looks more like Hermione than Emma Watson, though. It's the hair.

[@2ndChapter911]

I hated seeing Hermione cry

[@BuryMeDeeply]

@xxcharmed1xx I was actually thinking she might have put drain cleaner in them :) I know I would have after the shit they pulled the night before!

[@millsykooksy4863]

BuryMeDeeply lmao

[@zeldaofarel]

I don't like pancakes. Too sweet.

[@hippolyte90]

Laxitives I think.

[@PlobyR]

Yeh, same. My brother was similar.

[@plaidkitty69]

When they have her on the stretcher, she kind of looks like Emma Watson.

[@edpinkgurl]

reminds me of when they tried to worse me to eat, it didn`t go well.

[@AsYourCruiseDirector]

JJL looks thin but she's not nearly as thin as the body double.

[@IlkaZapata]

@eppieellen Yes. We do eat pancakes for breakfast. At least once a week!

[@Lara-vc8jv]

I’ve never eaten pancakes 😂😂

[@tsp1n]

he is exactly like my dad lol

[@shoponline831]

she reminds me of heather langenkamp

[@patyandrea2007]

What a new year eve!

[@chandra00michelle]

aw, youre so sweet.

[@denisespurlock]

"When can I see her". "After my exorcisim tonight."

[@chandra00michelle]

i know!! thats who i thought of when i saw her.

[@TheMichellepop]

i think he is no tht bad, he is showing signs of worry and things going out of control really.

[@roositje]

Yeah, she really does like Emma Watson sometimes! :) x

[@TheQueenchica]

THEIR FATHER IS FUNNY!

[@marvelousmaiden]

I can't believe this part doesn't work!Not fair!!!

[@DanaPattison]

I do feel bad for the dad though, he's probably just frightened and confused about his daughter!

[@angellightmist1016]

Wow seriously... the dad needs to take a chill pill. He is making her more stressed.... and being stressed = the more she will vomit. People make me so angry because so many people are oblivious to this type of disorder. Everyone just thinks it can easily be fixed... oh excersize and eat right. Well for many people it isnt that easy. For me, that way doesnt allow me to lose much weight. I wish people would research before jumping to conclusions!

[@kakera]

ahhh what the hell? this isn't available anymore? shit

[@asmileisspecial]

Crap... the dad trying to forcefeed her is making me cry.

[@ostrichfriend]

She kind of looks like Jojo, the singer.

[@gregorkrause]

the father "Charles durning" served in ww2 before acting so maybe he was picked as a strict father for this film.

[@JonasBrosFan17]

@eppieellen Yes, we do! Haha. Pancakes are amazing, though I'd rather have waffles. :)

[@babybunnyberry]

@CrimsonVibrato on the contrary, feminists completely acknowledge the statistics on battered men. These prove that women can be as violent as men, a central tenet of feminism. I think the problem here is that you don't know what feminism actually *is*. Feminism simply means that women and men are equal (in rights and duties, and in their capacity for good and evil).

[@hippolyte90]

A schoolbook likely.

[@lololwtfbbq]

I thought the same thing, haha

[@dsmrwtnttn]

works for me.

[@DarkMusicalNote]

the dads never understand.

[@mugabezuwane]

don't you like 80's horror film music, I think it's pretty rad

[@Tracy3686]

That dad is horrible. But a lot of parents enable their children to do what they want. Some happy medium has to be achieved.

[@babybunnyberry]

@CrimsonVibrato I didn't say he was the sole cause, but he is certainly the main cause of the problem. I didn't say that women could not be controlling, but women tend to be less violent about their control (not always, but there is a tendency; hence the numbers of battered wives against battered husbands). And...are you trying to use the word "feminist" as an insult?

[@idreaminblacknwhite]

i actuallt saw this movie the first time in jr. high in health class. go figure

[@XxPartyHard765xX]

man cnt her dad see his anger might be causing her eating disorder???!!!!

[@FullmetalAshlyn]

thats what I thought!!

[@blizzaire08]

gee, i wonder why they're so screwed up. maybe it's the poppa??

[@LivinginDogville]

0:54 to 0:59 I know that moment!

[@drewzuhosky6826]

1:00 Is that Regis?

[@Lisa13245]

She leaned over and it feel, I don't think it was on purpose.
