Silver linings playbook: case study

Notes:
. Support groups (in circles talking about how they feel).
. The protagonist (pat positive for bipolar) talks to himself.
. Everyone from the psychiatric hospital had to take medicime infront of the nurses and show them their mouths
↑shows lack of trust + medicine because of disorder.
. The protagonist (pat) seems to be alert/cautious.
. Pat jumps to conclusions.

things I noticed watching the film/ opening sequence:

•  They had written the hospital to show authentification
• there's a voice over of protaganist during opening sequence whilst screen is black which creates a sense of mystery and confusion
• fading transition from black screen to the back of person taking to himself, creates enigma code
• deigetic knocking- another person speaking sugests he isn't alone and that he may not be as mental as we think
• over lapping speech, the protagonist wants to change
• when's he is speaking about a topic he has to make his point (let's out physical and verbal anger) get into subjects (the ending of the book, and how happiness can be an ending), yet blames everyone else for his actions
• still attends theraphy sessions whilst at home 
• believes in excelsior; in latin meaning; ever upwards
• doen't take medication as he believes he's fine
• changes moods regularly, when frustrated has a menal breakdown 
• straight up, doesn't have a guilty conscience and has poor social skills 
• people are scared of him due to his mental illness, they're scared of the unknown and because of his past
