So in the book for the majority of the story neither Pat (Bradley Cooper's character) or us readers have any idea why he was institutionalised, he genuinely thinks Nikki is just spending some time away from him until he gets his life together, and over the course of the story he remembers what happened and why that song annoys him in bits and pieces and the final realisation kind of makes him spiral. It's written really well that when you find out what happened you feel as much shock as Pat does because his internal monologue has been selling you this idea of his and Nikki's relationship being salvageable (and worth saving) so we really feel what he feels in that moment. Also in the book he's been institutionalised not just for 8 months but 4 YEARS and he also doesn't realise just how long he's been gone, so realising that slowly also takes a toll. Nikki has fully moved on from him and doesn't attend the dance showcase in the book. The movie also focuses more on the romance than the book, the book is more about Pat and his mental health struggles and recovery and how this affects his relationships with everyone, not mostly Tiffany.
Its Robert Dineros character had Bipolar OCD, Bradley Cooper has Bipolar PTSD. Its a repeat of untreated mental health in the family. Meeting Jennifer Lawrence who had Depression, PTSD, maybe some Bipolar, helps him connect with someone struggling with similar issues. And Chris Tucker is Chris Tucker
This movie was so insane!! I remember when I first watched this film I was so confused. This was such a good movie from start to end. Jennifer in Mother is another great performance from her but it is very uncomfortable.
I’m bipolar which is what he has and when he’s going on about the wedding video is exactly what mania is. It makes you hyper focused and agitated. There are two types I have bipolar 2 which is more depression and hypomania then there’s bipolar1 which has more extreme mania which he has. It can be debilitating. The movie isn’t completely accurate but close. Definitely the best out there for showing bipolar disorder.
@@TheMikeLawz Definitely. They could have fucked it up completely. But, they did a good job. Bradly Cooper did a fucking amazing job. Loved the commentary by the way you deserve way more subs.
@@brownvoltaire2722 It's only gotten that bad once and that was when I was a teenager. Now I have more hypomanic mood swings. I couldn't honestly tell you what happened between the ages of 17 and 18 cause that's when my mania was at it's worse. I'm just glad I got medicated and found ways to cope through it and tell people what's going on. It takes years and a lot of working through shit you don't wanna.
@@jonathanfoster4202 Naomi Watts should've won. Being 22 is why she shouldn't have played her role. Her character is clearly meant to be well over a decade older than that.
@David Z3.. Have you met many people in ur life? Or have you never come outside before? 😂😂.. U know how many people ive met in my life that looked like they were 18, and they were actually like 33.. And Vice Versa? You cant ALWAYS tell how old someome is..
This movie was always my favorite but become really important when I was diagnosed with bi polar back in 2019. I was barely 21, and felt like I was out of control. My family makes jokes that how much my life lined up with the movie. OCD, break up 5year relationship, met the love of my life afterwards, who happens to be a dancer. Even during his episode, I remember feeling so explosive. A lot of it is difficult to watch, but it’s still my comfort movie cause I’m not crazy. I’m just healing, trying to find the silver lining of everything.
I remember critics hating on this movie so much when it was released. Id say cooper deserves the oscars as much as j law that year. Such great portrayal
I hate the way they say Trazodone wrong, but I love this movie. It's like the most realistic take on certain mental illnesses that I've ever seen. And the love story part of it is so good.
You really should check out an indie flick called Voices. It's a black comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and after watching this video, I'm convinced you'll enjoy it. Plus, it's kind of a fucked up movie, and those are always fun.
I live in Upper Darby they filmed this movie 3 streets behind my house, I remember being out side when they were throwing the book out the attic window, then another few streets the other way were the trailers behind the Acme ( a super market chain we have around here ) then around the same time Sunny way Filming in UD an I seen Danny DeVito running to jump on a SEPTA trolly 🤩🤩
Literally my ONLY complaint about this movie: Why is it called Silver Linings PLAYBOOK?? What's the playbook in this movie? That's a Barney Stinson thing! The German dub was only called Silver Linings....
Playbook is basically the football subplot. The silver lining playbook is basically the parlay bet that brought everyone together at the end. Dance competition (5.0) and the Eagles winning
Chris Kyle almost turned out to be just like Frank Duxx from Bloodsport, or Frank Abignale from Catch Me If You Can.. Except he actually WAS a war hero, he just embellished A LOT of stuff in his book.. Unlike the other 2 guys who were con-artists that completely made up EVERYTHING just for money n fame
To be real b Chris Tucker is overrated give me underrated Orland Jones over Tucker. Orlando Jones is entertaining to watch Tucker screams yells is annoying
Jones is an actor first, and Tucker is a comedian first. It's a no brainer - you're right - but - I can see how they would want the character to be a comedy foil and because of that, having Tucker play the role is a safe or conservative casting selection
Why is this drama film often wrongly described as a comedy, why was Jennifer Lawrence cast to play Tiffany when she was obviously far too young for her role & why does the film have a gambling subplot that's unrelated to the main plot?
1. I don't know 2. Because she's a very talented actor, it's questionable that she's too young, Hollywood likes to cast very young women in movies, and she won an academy award for the role so she was obviously good in the part. 3. This movie is about mental illness and relationships, the excessive gambling is part of a mental illness and affects people's relationships. It's not unrelated in the slightest, it's super obviously related.
@@theshadowfax239 It's not questionable. The vast majority of 22-year-olds haven't married, let alone been widowed. Naomi Watts should've won. The only reason she didn't is because she isn't American. I mean that the gambling plot doesn't converge with the main plot.
There aint NO way you hated this movie so much, to the point you made a whole new youtube account, to come back and comment the same exact stuff you said a whole year ago 😂😂.. And have NOBODY agree with you! Lmao.. I dont think you should be watching movies of this caliber buddy
Curious as to who your favorite character was?
Everyone did such a phenomenal job but personally I loved Tiffany
@@06hAnBan26 She was definitely great, but I think Chris Tuckers character takes the cake as the best lol
@@TheMikeLawz he was superb 😅
Ohm Tiffany by miles
Relatable in almost every way of my personality
Bradley Cooper probably cause he reminds me of me.

Chris Tucker was just trynna vibe out
I’d say JLaw’s character definitely had borderline personality disorder as well
This is one of my Top 5 movies, i absolutely love how well they portrayed mental illness without demonizing it.
This movie was so insane!! I remember when I first watched this film I was so confused. This was such a good movie from start to end. Jennifer in Mother is another great performance from her but it is very uncomfortable.
Ya I'm gonna end up watching it again because I feel like I missed quite a few things. And I've heard nothing but good things about Mother
@@TheMikeLawz Mother would be a WILD commentary, you and Rowan. I can just hear Rowan going "why are...yOuUuu...wha...huh?"
@@TheMikeLawz
If you end up watching mother!, brush up on some religion first
So glad you watched this one! You're so spot on with how real it all feels! Such amazing performances!
Robert De Niro was AMAZING in this
I think this movie does a really great job of showing all the different illnesses people have including gambling
Chris Tuckers character popping up out of nowhere was great 😂

Well I'm glad they at least got decently close at portraying it like you said, instead of completely Hollywood-izing it

I LOVED your reaction to this. Such an iconic movie! So happy you enjoyed it

I watched this movie last week and had no idea until after that Jenifer Lawrence won the Oscar for best actress for this movie.
Well deserved imo, she killed it. And only at 22!

"i'm fast as fucc bwoy!" LMAOOOOO loved this reaction so much. also, we ARE normal, stop saying that! hahaha
also love your accent. lmao
I've never seen this movie before but I'm def enjoying it, watching it with your commentary!
Definitely recommend watching it in full, if you ever get the chance too 👊
@@TheMikeLawz for sure!
Chris Tucker is hilarious 😅 I first saw him in "The fifth element". This man is a show on his own.
"Money Talks" 😉
My guy really does just pop up at anytime😂
I remember critics hating on this movie so much when it was released. Id say cooper deserves the oscars as much as j law that year. Such great portrayal
One of my favorites! I’m really glad you watched this gem

Thank you!!!
Another great David O’Russel movie with Bradley Cooper and JLaw is American Hustle. You might give that one a try.
I heard American Hustle was dope so I'll probably end up checking it out
Watch Gone Girl 😝😜😁
Glad you watched this movie. I loved your reaction
Was I the only one who hated Nikki? Seriously, she get happily married to the man she was cheating with and no repercussions.
this and limitless are my favorite bradley cooper movies
Limitless was sick
Love this movie!
I absolutely loved this movie!
Mike at it again, great reaction. Another movie you should check out is Don Jon, good meaning and message.
I remember seeing commercials for that when it was coming out. I'm just not that big a fan of Joseph Gordon-Levitt
One of my all time favorites. Easily David O Russel’s best work

I even read the book... honestly it was real wholesome
My favorite movie ❤️
So good
“Save district 13…” I cackled 😂
Bro the truth was what he said in therapy lol
There's nothing being deluded about their past in the movie. What they say happened is exactly what happened.
like this video for clear skin🧍🏾♀️
I liked it and my skin still looks like an oatmeal raisin cookie, now what
Let’s goooo
