@deanduncan63Saw #SilverLiningsPlaybook, which reminds me that a strong script & strong performances do a good movie make. What’d Aristotle say? …
… Plot, character & reasoning, in that order. Yes, it’s an ancient prescription. So what?! Fantastic craft, fantastic movie.
#SilverLiningsPlaybook is a lot like its David O. Russell predecessor, The Fighter. It’s kinda rough! …
… But its roughness is all contextual, consistent, rooted in the adapted naturalist ground of milieu & medico-chemical heredity …
… Within (& then beyond) those near-scientific restrictions, what mercy! A truly charitable, which is to say godly, film.
#SilverLiningsPlaybook. Cooper, Lawrence, De Niro.
#SilverLiningsPlaybook. I loved their final choreographical victory. They squeaked it! They’re not that good! Rejoice anyway!
