Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

Silver Linings Playbook is about a man who just got released from a mental hospital and is trying to get his old life back by re connecting with his family and wife. He won't except the fact that his wife has moved on so he tries everything in his power to get her back but along the way he meets another girl named Tiffany who changes his life. This movie was a bit depressing but still really good and had a nice ending. I liked the fact that the protagonist had a mental disorder and they addressed the issue of mental disorder in our society.

There was a dancing scene towards the end of the movie but it was filmed differently than the ones we saw in Singin in the Rain. In Singin' in the Rain you could see the performers full body the whole time and they would barely move the cameras. In this movie you would hardly see their full bodies and would move the camera a lot getting different angles. There are a few  pros and cons to this, a pro is you can see the dancing from different angles and perspectives but a con is you never actually see their whole body in the frame. One thing I found interesting was there was a Singin' in the Rain reference in the movie. While they were rehearsing for their dance Tiffany, played by Jennifer Lawrence,  brought up one of the dancing scenes from Singin' in the Rain to use as a reference for their dance.
