Can I say something worthy of my name?

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, the only film nominated for all actor awards. It was even shortlisted for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing.

The acting skills of Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver needless to say, but it seems that the time for Bradley Coopper's transformation is coming. Whether it is hysterical crying or carnival laughter, depressed and unhappy, the acting has emotional control. A middle-aged man with problems and frustrated life. The director is David O. Russell, the director who helped Christian Bale and Melissa Leo win the Oscar for best supporting actor and actress. This man is famous for his super ability to train actors. In addition, the most pleasing acting in this film should be Jennifer Lawrence. In the film, she played a young widow whose husband died young and she was surrounded by rumors and rumors. Her whole body was full of rebellious but healthy sex appeal. The girls born in the 90s have basically made the stubborn girl in "The Hunger Games" hard to think of. This actress has a very good career, and her ascension to the throne is just around the corner.

It's the same as the "Fighter" in 2010. Watching David O. Russell’s film is like a morning jog in a common community in the United States. You will see many ordinary and familiar scenery, you will meet many people who run like you, and you will experience life’s downs and downs. You have to face everything that scares you, but this is the world you exist in, no matter how bad it looks, no matter how much happiness and pain it has brought you, learn to love it, love you Perhaps this is the most important thing in life.

Life is here. Life is yours.

PS:

Sneaked to watch it a second time. It seems to suddenly understand why this film is nominated for Best Editing and Best Adapted Screenplay. Pudoshikin said: "The foundation of film art is editing." The editor of Silver Linings Playbook is called Jay Lash Cassiby. The man who has edited not many films, Brothers (2010), Conviction (2009), 2007 With Into the wild "Survival in the Wild", he was nominated for the best editing Oscar for that year. Although he doesn't cut many films, he is definitely a good player in this film. The lens is the best language. Jay Lash seems to love zoom shots in this film. It is especially obvious in the protagonist Pat played by Bradley Cooper. After a rough calculation, a total of 11 zoom shots have been used on him, both fast and slow. All of them are used just right, and they don't feel abrupt and blunt. Using lens language to refine Pat's almost every emotional ups and downs.

There is also the setting of the plot. "What the fuck!?" It should be a very common line in American movies, and it is the same in this film. No matter Pat's father, brother or the heroine have yelled in different scenes. Pat, who has a grumpy temper at any time, talked about it three times in the film.

The first time it was related to ex-wife Nikki. After Pat was discharged from the hospital, he studied the materials used by Nikki to teach the students day and night-Hemingway's novel "Farewell to the Weapon". The ending of the novel made him feel emotional for the first time after he was discharged from the hospital. He threw the book in the early morning. Outside the window, I also smashed my own window. At this time, he was still obsessed with thinking that Nikki would rebuild with himself; the

second time was after seeing Tiffany for the first time and was slapped by her. Pat was hit by Tiffany on a morning jog, and he found out when he thought he had thrown her off. Tiffany caught up again. At this time, Pat has already started to feel uneasy because of Tiffany;

The third time was when Pat’s father decided to block all his possessions with his friend Landy. Pat thought that the risk was too great and went out angrily. He took out the "reply letter" that Tiffany gave him and read it again, trying to figure out the words between the lines. When he suddenly realized that, he inadvertently said softly "What the fuck..." Here David O'Russell handled it very skillfully. There were no more performances and lines. Pat understood that this reply was written by Tiffany, and at the same time He also found that he had already fallen in love with this woman.

These four "What the fuck?" is exactly Pat's way of thinking about Nikki to being in Tiffany's restless mind and finally falling in love with Tiffany.

This is David O'Russell's film. It seems plain and ordinary, but in fact it contains very rich and ingenious content. It is the most true perception of life when it is inadvertently and inconspicuously.

    The most touching thing is that Pat and Tiffany are dating in the restaurant. Tiffany confides to each other, but Pat treats her as a slut. People confide in friends, hoping that the other person understands, comforts, and supports themselves, but what they get is often the other person’s point of view from the perspective of God, standing on the moral high ground to point your life. There is no sympathy, some are just indifferent and numb.

    Two mental patients fell in love at first sight, participated in a dance competition, and finally confessed the romantic love story, haha. It can be regarded as an inspirational drama, and the actors' lines are so many that it is a feature that they can't talk about it. The story was well told, and I was moved when I saw it.
