Best Sellers post #5: Adapting Silver Linings Playbook

 

The movie would have to include the scene before the dance when Tiffany keeps having to tell Pat not to talk to her because it shows you how important the dance is to Tiffany. The movie must also include the actual dance. The dance song will have to be playing and they will have to have the actress that is able to portray the intenseness of the dance. In the movie they must also include to after portion of the dance. When Pat and Tiffany are so happy and they have all their family and friends cheering for them.
The adaptation can leave out the scenes where Pat is in his therapists office and talks to him about football and Pat goes to the football game at the end with his brother and he is on crutches. these scenes are not very relevent to the plot line of the story. They are just about football, not about the problems that Pat has.
