Movie Night @ UU: Silver Linings Playbook
Advertisement
In November we explore the theme of Healing. Bell Hooks writes "Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion." Silver Linings Playbook is a movie about healing and mental health.
Protagonist Pat Solitano Jr. (Bradley Cooper) lives with bipolar disorder, while Tiffany Maxwell (Jennifer Lawrence) navigates profound grief and depression after her husband’s death. The film emphasizes that healing does not mean being "fixed" or erasing one's flaws. Instead, it means learning to live with and manage mental health challenges. If this sounds depressing please note that Brian Eggert s review of the movie indicates this movie is entertaining. "Fueled by unexpected dramatic turns and a gamut of oddball hang-ups that set the comic tone, Silver Linings Playbook marks another decisive triumph for David O. Russell, who’s made both the funniest film and the most heartening romance in recent memory."
Join us at 4 pm Saturday, November 14 for healing, hot popcorn, fun company and your choice of seats.
