The scene of her multiplying big numbers will forever be the most important scene in any movie to me. This is a little girl who has been told all her life by her parents that she is a mistake and that she is worthless. This is a little girl whose family life is so horrible that books are her only escape. This is a little girl whose parents constantly belittle her for reading, the only pleasure in life she has. And in this scene, this little girl answers very shyly, because she has been conditioned to be embarrassed of her own existence. At first, she answers slowly, and without making eye contact. And in this scene this little girl is beginning to realize that maybe she is special. Maybe there are kind people in the world. Maybe she is worth something.

Ya know if you read the thing of beauty book about Gia you'll see why the movie wasn't a great portrayal of Gia's life. Several people who actually knew Gia including Janice Dickinson, Gia's Mom and her girlfriend Sandy Linter all said they were disappoint with the
movie. I actually did like the movie but that was before I did my research.

I wish i'd known her there was a girl in my neighborhood who had a lot in common with gia......she was special
