Punch-Drunk Love

“I don't know if there is anything wrong because I don't know how other people are” “Sometimes I cry a lot for no reason” I relate to Barry so much more than I want too, he really represents loneliness, self doubt, anxiety, anger and the fear of venerability I’ve never seen so well done. This film is stressful and constantly packed with a shadow of tense and overwhelming feeling of anxiety, with the use of music, camera angels and lighting. which really makes you feel what Barry is feeling throughout the film. I love Barry’s arc throughout the film as it’s almost a message to the watcher, at the end we see Barry still feels his anger yet is able to control it and redirect it, as when he confronts the scammers me says: “a love in my life. It makes me stronger than anything you can imagine.” This with the contrast of him previously running away from the scammers really shows how the support and empowerment from him love can help a person grow and help Barry shapes his anger into confidence. This movie is about embracing change, and venerability, and that no matter your mental struggles, anyone is deserving and able to achieve love. I loved it, I thought Adam sandler was great (defo his best performance). Yet still felt it was missing something, idk I have to let it sit with me for a bit my rating may go up
