Silver Linings Playbook
Posted: January 18th, 2013, 7:11 pm
I just came home from the theater after having seen "Silver Linings Playbook." I have to say that it was one of the best movies that I have seen in a long time.
Paul mentioned a couple of times where it feels almost good to see someone go through depression. I guess in a way that it makes us feel that we're not alone. I felt that tonight. I don't want to go over the plot in this post or reveal the storyline or outcome of the movie in this post, but I urge anyone reading this on this forum to do out and see it. There were a lot of things that just hit home for me tonight. Robert DeNiro role of the father reminded me very much of my father and my relationship with him. There's also a story line where Bradley Cooper goes through the lost of love and how he tries to put his life back together. As I watched it, the major thought that ran through my mind is the same one when I listen to "The Mental Illness Happy Hour;" "Holy Shit, that's me."
I'd like to get the discussion going with anyone in the forum who has seen it and what their thoughts are about the movie. I figured that we could talk about it and just see what we liked and didn't like about the film.
I will say that the one thing that I took from it is pretty much what Paul talks about all the time: we're all pretty much fucked up. If I could add though, those of us that are fucked up and get help are the brave ones, and yes, we're not alone.
