  21. So let's take a look and see how I use
  22. the present in the film and the film.
  23. Patrick Celentano Junior, an irritable and desperate man, attempts to
  24. find the silver lining in his otherwise miserable life through
  25. the love of a Truman Tiffany Maxwell, Pat becomes happy
  26. and finds meaning in life again.
  27. That's myth number seven.
  28. Throughout their initial encounters, Pat and Tiffany bigger but is
  29. often portrayed in a comical, almost endearing way that's myth
  30. number eight.
  31. Finally, Pat reveals a Tiffany that he fell in love
  32. with her the moment he saw her.
  33. This myth number two, So the primary myth, demonstrated in
  34. silver linings playbook is myth number seven, which is the
  35. love of a woman, can change a man from obese
  36. to a price.
  37. Pat was extremely depressed and rageful after leaving the mental
  38. hospital as in scene, but he freaks out throughout the
  39. entire movie.
  40. Um right from the beginning of the movie, you can
  41. see Pat's delusions regarding his marriage, which are highlighted by
  42. his devotion to mid number seven, which is changing yourself
  43. in the name of True love.
  44. He tells us to his father towards the beginning of
  45. the movie and he says, what am I going to
  46. do? I'm getting in shape, I'm getting trim, I'm getting
  47. really fit for Nikki.
  48. I'm going to read Nikki's teaching syllabus and get my
  49. old job back.
  50. So you can see here Path attempting to change in
  51. the name of his love for his estranged wife here.
  52. Mid# six, the role of gender is also briefly
  53. mentioned. Pat believes in order to win Nikki back.
  54. He needs to get stronger and more, you know, built
  55. and have a solid career that's been going a masculine
  56. role in their relationship.
  57. He later repeats this transpiration goal to tip on it
  58. when he acknowledges her beauty.
  59. So he doesn't quite a few times in the movie.
  60. Okay, so the preferred reading of this movie would be
  61. that two people can come together despite mental health issues
  62. and other personal problems and create a happy silver linings
  63. filled life together.
  64. The movie also shows that the love of the right
  65. person is more effective in changing someone's outlook on life
  66. than inside a presence, therapy and mental hospitals are.
  67. The movie also shows that we can fix others and
  68. more prominently ourselves if we're given the most motivation of
  69. true love.
  70. The oppositional reading however, dismisses these miss because some of
  71. the messages conveyed in silver linings playbook are unrealistic.
  72. It is unlikely that Pat's personality change can be attributed
  73. solely to Tiffany's presence.
  74. An educated viewer understands this.
  75. An educated audience member will also realize that the figuring,
  76. fighting and naming that patent Tiffany engaged in early or
  77. not, not healthy tools to use in a real relationship.
  78. You would never get the girl after you called Tiffany.
  79. Some of the names that pact holder never believing what
  80. is portrayed in silver linings playbook could have some negative
  81. consequences. For example, after viewing this film, someone might be
  82. willing to believe that like Tiffany, they could ultimately change
  83. the person personality of someone like that who has bipolar
  84. disorder and other issues in real life.
  85. People like Pat, who are violent and bipolar get aggressive
  86. very easily.
  87. It might not take kindly to people calling them crazy
  88. and suddenly trying to change them.
  89. On the flip side.
  90. It's also not entirely healthy to behave like Tiffany who
  91. deals with grief by being promiscuous and is sometimes downright
  92. rude as well.
  93. While those movies kind of unrealistic, it doesn't mean it's
  94. um an enjoyable film.
  95. In fact, people often watch movies, especially romantic comedies like
  96. silver linings playbook because they wish to escape their less
  97. exciting realities.
  98. It's an unhealthy for movies to present these types of
  99. relationships to the public, but it's like bad junk cute
  100. we did Anyway, so the problem with these films is
  101. many of not all people do believe that they can
  102. change their romantic partner, but by portraying characters such as
  103. patent Tiffany as being easily curable, It reinforces some of
  104. these romantic misconceptions, let's say hypothetically someone watch silver linings
  105. playbook and then shortly after began a romantic relationship with
  106. a man or woman that was suffering from bipolar disorder.
  107. They might mistakenly think that they will be able to
  108. change their lives for the better.
  109. But that's not the case.
  110. People typically only change on their own accord or in
  111. this case certain mental health illnesses because of medication and
  112. therapy. Romantic comedies definitely have effects on people but they
  113. pretty much all negative.
  114. The entire premise of romantic comedies was these different people
  115. can truly find love, makes the audience asked, Why can't
  116. I? And the obvious answer is because no one can
  117. as well as almost everyone else to have friends who
  118. have their therapist or have disorders, etcetera.
  119. And none of them are dating each other or head
  120. over heels in love.
  121. In fact, I'm pretty sure none of my friends have
  122. unbreakable bonds with each other.
  123. Perhaps some sort of predestined connection.
  124. The only couples that I have seen with that kind
  125. of connection or Jack and Rose and Jim and pam.
  126. But those are all fake couples of course, which supports
  127. the idea that romances.
  128. The media is completely skewed movies like silver lining playbook
  129. and movies that are categories as romantic comedies have a
  130. place in pop culture, a source of entertainment for they
  131. portray romance and correct and cheaply.
  132. So I hope you enjoyed my presentation and if you
  133. have any questions asking now
