When
I sat down to watch Silver Lining Playbook I thought that I would see a sad
movie about a person struggling with mental illness. This film was one of the
funniest films that I have ever seen. The two main characters were in mental
hospitals, but they were more sane than the rest of the people in the
community. The male lead’s parents
suffer from OCD and anxiety. His best friend is on the verge of a nervous break
down. Yet no one in the community thinks that they are insane. It was the best
running joke of the film. This movie also shows how soft we have become as a
society. The main characters had traumatic things happen to them and reacted in
an extreme way. This is basic science. Every action has an equal or greater
reaction. I am constantly being told that I am too hard on people when I am
distancing myself from those of low principles. I enjoyed Silver Lining
Playbook. Remember to watch what you see.
