SummaryIn the realm of mother and daughter movies, “White Oleander” touches base on so many topics in its attempt to create beautiful chick flick as an adaptation of the popular novel that Oprah herself had recommended. The movie itself was moving and it is credible with its drive to create a portrait of Janet Fitch’s novel to tell a story about a young girl who goes on a journey through three foster homes in three years with only the survival skills to adapt and to be resilient to her surroundings which lead to different conclusions in each setting, thus creating the ever searching path of self identity. This is an obvious plot underline for the movie and the book that like any other teen, a young adolescent must go through trial and error in order to figure out who she is while dealing with all the obstacles life has to offer. However in the main character’s case Astrid; which in North Germanic origin means divine beauty, she must deal with the obstacles of different foster parents, her mother being a compassionate but stubborn woman that seems to only pull her back from her progress, and the conflictions what is the right thing to do.
