Silver Linings again......

I posted before about how I really wanted the see the Silver Linings Playbook and that I wished it would get to theatres within driving distance. It finally did just that. I saw it today and the first thing to be said about it was that it really was not what I thought it was going to be. It was good, it just was a lot more emotionally raw than I thought it was going to be. It has to do with lost relationships and the distress and turmoil that happens following that. All the characters involved are trying to find their way through hopelessness. I usually don't watch too many of the films that get nominated for the Academy Awards but this one was different. By the way, if you aren't a fan of the actors in this movie, (Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Chris Tucker, etc,)  you will be by the time the credits roll. It's that good.
