Thread: Silver Lining Playbook

Gday All,

The boss and me went and seen this movie, and it tries to address some very complex mental health issues, whilst trying to have some sort of a story.

I personally didnt rate the movie very highly, but am not expierenced with the bi-polar issue it tries to deal with. The funny scenes are very funny, and I give them full credit for trying to bring these issues into the spot light and I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

Guess its a movie you need to see and judge for yourself, but for me im not dissapointed we seen it, but for some reason expected something better.

Cheers Ean

I have a mate who is bi-polar, and have worked with a couple of people who are as well. I would love to say I understand it but I just don't. It's one of those things that seems to vary from person to person, and the meds differ accordingly I certainly understand the highs, and the lows, but I don't understand what triggers them.

I realise it's not a documentary, but (having not seen it) I'm not sure how well this deals with these things? credit where it's due for giving it a go - it's certainly one to keep in mind if it means a greater understanding.
