Yeah, the movie, or rather its ending, is heart-warming, tears-swelling and all that. But the story is just so unbelievable that it hinges on nonsense.
So you get two blind people together and suddenly they can see, the blind leading the blind into the happily ever after? You must be joking.
I get that it must be every mental patient's dream to be healed magically by the love of his or her opposite sex peer who is also cured simultaneously by his or her love. Romantic, altruistic, win-win, and all that. But this is only pipe dream. When two mentally sick people get together romantically, it would only be disaster.
Yeah they might understand each other in ways that "saner" people cannot, but they would also indulge each other's illness like no saner person would, which means, behaviorally, they would never get better, but only get worse.
Isn't it just too unbelievably (in the too improbable sense) amazing that the girl Jennifer Lawrence (not a fan by the way; the only occasion for her to invoke the murderous gloominess that she puts on all the time should be when her family members are killed before her eyes or worse) plays should be taking care of Bradly Cooper even more than his therapist?
Come on. His parents did not even take care of him that much. And lovers never take care of each other that much. They are much better at receiving than giving. Yeah Tiffany would be any man's dream. And she is just a dream. Awake, you do not get to see her.
The movie is just, well, too fictional, and that makes all the tears jerked by it, which are probably a lot considering the intended demogarphics, all the more unbelievable, since they should know that they are never like her. Right?
