Wonder why I never watched it earlier. The first few minutes, that showed the hero's despair when in lurch was so disturbing. The movie released in Nov 2012 , that timing especially is uncanny, for me personally. But unlike the movie folds open, people don't get over that despair that easily. It takes many months. Probably why, I am watching it now in 2014 April.
I really wanted quit watching the movie after few minutes (till the part he attacks his parents, and Jennifer Lawerence says she trusted him and he used it back against her), but being a famous movie, I figured it might unfold and have a happy ending, which it does.
They've tried to show the reality of these emotions we see in everyday life and then quickly changed to show a happy ending. Which in reality never happens. A mind that is just fixated on its loss, will never see any other "door" open up for them that easily and most often there may probably not be another door opening. How Tiffany (J Lawence) grieves her husband is given very little time, grief is a big emotion but they've underplayed her grief and Pat Sr (de niro)'s psychological problems. So at least, I would have liked them to show Pat. Jr. trying to overcome it or how his emotions undergo change and how he starts to have feelings for Tiffany.
Its a nice movie, showing hope after despair. A feel good movie, at most. But nothing really to show the seriousness of emotional disturbances.
