This is a review of my all time favorite movie, Gia. This movie is about one of the very first supermodels, Gia Marie Carangi, (played by Angelina Jolie) who burst onto the model scene in the late 1970's. If you ask me, this is the best movie ever made! Gia has a turbulent, imaginative childhood and is plagued by horrible feelings of isolation after her mother leaves to live with her new husband. Gia is a raw woman who in reality, the last thing she is interested in is looks! After an impromptu meeting with a amaetur fashion photographer, Gia decides to leave her home and go to New York City to apply at Wilhemina Models, Inc. She storms through the door, her hair in disarray, and knife in hand, and demands to see Wilhemina herself. Wilhemina sees something in Gia, and makes her an almost instant supermodel. Gia battles drug addiction and broken hearts. Gia is a lesbian who is desperately in love with her girlfriend, and her girlfriend in love with Gia. This movie is both exciting and moving, and will hit you hard right in the heart. I was in absolute tears by the end of this movie. This movie won Angelina Jolie an Academy Award, and rightly so. Angelina Jolie becomes Gia Marie Carangi. After making several of my friends watch this movie, they all ended up thanking me and it became their favorite movie as well. I give this movie two thumbs up!! Watch it!! You wont be disappointed, I promise!!
