In this film there’s a revolving style used for camera angles in many of the shots. The film covers real life things like admiration for someone and mental illness. The film is also recorded right in our backyard, the city of Philadelphia which David O Russell includes in some shots indicate the location of the film. David O Russell a known auteur also created films like “Three Kings”, “American Hustle”, and “Joy”. Like Spike Lee or even Ryan Cogler their choice in actors were specific and some times repetitive and as you can see out of the four movies Jennifer Lawrence plays a role in three of the films by David O Russell. The film “Silver Linings Playbook” is based on a true story a dedicated film about his son who suffers from a bipolar disorder, and an author known as Matthew Quick who wrote the novel “Silver Linings Playbook” used writing to express his self ashe sufferred depression.

David O Russell is a known auteur who makes emotionally dynamic films and when watching one of his created films you know not by the look of his film compared to a “Spike Lee Joint” but the feeling David’s films brings to you. David’s films are more frenetic and holds a lot of chaos but are clear-cut, and carefully choreographed. One of the many messages presented in the “Silver Linings Playbook” is to look for the silver lining. In addition, the film portrays a message of how life does not always goes to plan and this is shown when Pat does not get what he planned to get and what he experiences.

David wanted the film to be more of  gift for his son and not only for his son but people who also have mental illness felt it was a gift also. As claimed in an article by “USA Today” states “Although one in four Americans lives with mental illness, too often the media spotlight is on violent tragedies like the Newtown school massacre or the Aurora theater shootings. By creating a film about a family living with mental illness, Russell has recast bipolar disorder in a warmer light, offsetting the stigma that haunts patients and families.” Russell also makes a statement about how he wants his characters to be as humane as possible and to give them realistic, understanding characteristics.

The film has an empathetic subject covering mental illness however, Pat the character in the film is not the only one who is dealing nor suffering from a disorder or empathetic, sensitive feeling. Like Pat who is dealing with mood swings and his illness, his father has OCD, his friends is also experiencing their own problems, and the girl he meets is a young widow. David shows the similarity in each character, they might not be dealing with all the same things but they share the same feelings, they are not that different from each other, and the film is easily connectable to viewers who experience any mental illness, or know someone who does. Overall, I believe David presents strong messages and his styles are definitely visible in his films because of his chaotic but very detailed choreograph it is shown that he thinks about how he wants all his films to be created and visible to the world and how he wants viewers to take it in and learn and understand the messages he is presenting in the films.
