| Silver Linings Playbook |
Silver Linings Playbook is an American romantic comedy-drama film directed by David O. Russell, from a screenplay by Russell, adapted from the novel The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick. The film stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, with Robert De Niro, Jacki Weaver, Chris Tucker, Anupam Kher and Julia Stiles in supporting roles.
Plot
In 2008, Pat Solitano Jr. (Bradley Cooper) is released from a mental health facility into the care of his parents after eight months of treatment for bipolar disorder. During his time there, he forms a close friendship with a fellow patient, Danny (Chris Tucker),
who is having legal disputes with the hospital which constantly
prevents him from leaving. Pat soon learns that his wife, Nikki, has
moved away and his father, Pat Sr. (Robert De Niro), is out of work and resorting to bookmaking
to earn money to start a restaurant. Pat is determined to get his life
back on track and reconcile with Nikki, who obtained a restraining order
against him after the violent episode that sent him away.
While talking to his court-mandated therapist Dr. Patel (Anupam Kher),
Pat explains again why he was hospitalized. Coming home early from his
high school teaching job, noticing clothes thrown on the floor and his
wedding song Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour"
playing, he finds Nikki in the shower, with another man. Enraged, he
nearly beat the man to death. Despite this, Pat doesn't believe he needs
medication to manage his condition.
At dinner with his friend Ronnie, he meets Ronnie's sister-in-law, Tiffany Maxwell (Jennifer Lawrence),
a recent widow who also just lost her job. Pat and Tiffany develop an
odd friendship through their shared neuroses, and he sees an opportunity
to communicate with Nikki through her. Tiffany offers to deliver a
letter to Nikki, if in return he will be her partner in an upcoming
dance competition. He reluctantly agrees and the two begin a rigorous
practice regimen over the following weeks, with help from Danny, who is
eventually released. Pat believes the competition will be a good way to
show Nikki he has changed and become a better man. Tiffany gives Pat a
typed reply from Nikki, in which she cautiously hints there may be a
chance for a reconciliation between them.
Things go well for Pat until his father asks him to attend a Philadelphia Eagles
game he has bet virtually all of his money on, as a "good-luck charm".
Pat skips practice with Tiffany to attend the game, but is dragged into a
fight with racist thugs attacking his psychiatrist and brother, and is
hauled away by police. The Eagles lose the game and Pat Sr. is furious.
Tiffany arrives, berates Pat, and points out that the way she "reads the
signs", the Eagles do better when she and Pat are together, as they won
every game they played on occasions when Pat and Tiffany spent time
together. Pat Sr., now convinced that Pat being with Tiffany is actually
good luck, makes a parlay with his gambling friend that if the Eagles win their game against Dallas, and
if Pat and Tiffany score at least a 5 out of 10 in their dance
competition, he will win back all the money he lost on the first bet.
Pat is reluctant to participate in the dance contest under those
conditions; however, Tiffany and Pat's father decide to persuade Pat by
lying to him to say Nikki will be there. In the mean time, Pat, who has
isolated himself from everyone, begins to read the letter from Nikki
again and notices that the phrase Tiffany had said earlier - "reading
the signs" - appears in the letter.
Pat, Tiffany, and everyone else arrive at the competition on the
night of the football game. Tiffany is horrified to discover that Nikki
is in the audience. Pat finds Tiffany, who has been drinking with a man
who was trying to pick her up, and manages to coax her onto the dance
floor, where they perform their routine. As they dance, the Eagles win
their game and at the conclusion of their set, they score exactly 5
points—Pat and Tiffany are elated.
Amid cheers from his family and confused looks from the crowd, Pat
approaches Nikki and speaks quietly into her ear. Tiffany storms off.
Pat leaves Nikki behind after only a short conversation, intent on
finding Tiffany. He chases after her and tells her he knows she forged
Nikki's letter. He confesses he has loved her from the moment he met her
but has taken a long time to realize it and they kiss. They become a
couple and Pat Sr. opens a restaurant with the money he has won.
Guess What? .... I'm back...

tiga bulan sudah dan sekarang baru bisa mencicipi lagi dunia blog, SESUATU!
pertama-tama saya mau ngucapin selamat buat saya yang sudah memasuki usia ke-20 bulan januari kemarin. Happy Bday to ME! *gift*
jujur banyak hal yang ingin saya ceritakan setelah absen 3bulan dari dunia blog. okey, cekidot!
pertama, bulan desember tahun lalu tepatnya tanggal 7/12 merupakan hari berkabung bagi saya. Oma saya pergi untuk menghadap sang Khalik. Dunia serasa berhenti saat itu juga. saya merupakan cucu yang paling dekat dengan oma, sehingga setelah oma pergi, rasanya ada yang hilang. sedih harus, tapi kalo kita terus-terusan bersedih, yang ada orang yang meninggalkan kita tak akan tenang disana jika kita belum merelakan dia pergi. jadi saya sudah ikhlas, Rest In Peace oma, see you in another life!
