For the first time, I heard someone say this joke, but I didn’t realize how funny it was. On the contrary, I thought it had a rough and plain human touch. I was very touched by the plainness. In this vain and noisy world, I am afraid that there are not many things more moving than two kind-hearted fools. Pat and Tiffany in "silver linings play book" are like two little guys in a joke, but their story is an adult version.
Before entering the mental hospital, Pat had been living in his own well-knitted happiness scam, beautiful wife, parents with American sense of humor, and a group of enthusiastic friends. All this looks great, in fact, this is just the way he wants life to look like, because of his optimistic nature, he consciously shields the parts of life that may make him feel bad. For example, the affection and loyalty of a beautiful wife to him is declining day by day, but due to Pat's optimistic nature, he might prefer to ignore it. So, finally one day, he returned home and found that his wife's underwear had been thrown on the floor, and then a pair of naked men and women were screaming in the steaming bathroom. (The fact that he can see something like this is enough to show that he is a complete lack of heart.) The fishy bald head asked him openly: "Can you give us some personal space? (Don't you see that we haven't finished yet)" Pat, who was 1.85 meters tall, exploded his head when he heard these words, and punched the bald head half to death with his fists. From then on, Pat's spirit collapsed and he was admitted to a mental hospital. And his beautiful and energetic wife took advantage of this opportunity to leave him. After a long period of treatment, Pat returned home and continued to maintain his optimistic nature of "every cloud has a silver lining", weaving a beautiful dream of re-realization for himself. Every day, he puts on a garbage bag and runs ten miles to lose weight, sleeplessly read, and tries to transform himself into the way his wife likes, regardless of the kind obstruction of the people around him.
Tiffany's experience is also extraordinary. Her film police husband hasn't had much sex with her for three years. One day, the hapless guy was happily carrying the erotic lingerie bought from "Victoria's Secret", thinking about Tiffany's sultry appearance in it, and suddenly a car drove over and ended his young life. Since then, Tiffany also fell ill and started messing around with various colleagues in the company, but was fired by the boss. Everyone is vigilant about Tiffany's mental state, even Pat who met for the first time. In the end, Tiffany used her courage and persistence to gain everyone’s approval, including Pat’s stubborn father. After a Christmas dance competition, Pat rushed to the streets with his father’s encouragement to hold Tiffany who had left silently. Hugging tightly into his arms. The camera revolves around the lovers, as if to give them the happiness of the whole world. Just like the motto that Pat has been repeating: "every cloud has a silver lining". Two heartless people love each other deeply, and work together to wash away the haze of life.
This is a romance film that can only be made by an American with a bright nature. Even people who no longer believe in love will be infected by its sincerity and purity. Just like the "breakfast at tiffany`s" that I have always loved, there is no vigorous background, and no exciting plot. It just slowly spreads the truth and details of life, extracting a rough and plain love story from it. However, this roughness and flatness can penetrate into people's hearts, and the charm of time remains the same.
After so many years, the memory of life will become fragmented, glued together with those film lenses we love, the ins and outs of many things have been blurred, only moments are constantly being remembered, perhaps when we walk through a familiar street , Hearing an old song, in the hustle and bustle returning to the desolation of silence, when we dream back at midnight, we will remember those faces, those touches, and the throbbing of the soul. We once wanted the impulse to swear by the mountain alliance, facing the eyes full of tears, slowly said:
I knew it the minute I met you . I`m sorry it took so long for me to catch up.
At that moment, I was so firm ??????
