The film "My boyfriend is a psycho": actors, roles, plot

It's hard to find a viewer who does not know the picture "My boyfriend is a psycho." Actors and the project team did everything to make this film in 2012 enthusiastically talked to both viewers and critics. Seven nominations for "Oscar" - this is not a joke. What is the comedy of David O. Russell so caught the audience?

The creators of the picture

David O. Russell graduated from the college with a degree in Political Science. For a long time he worked in the profession, and then plunged headlong into the world of cinematography. The first film director released at 37 years old. And, I must say, it was filmed on a rather strange topic: in the tape "Emancipation" Russell suddenly decided to touch upon incest questions. Apparently, in Hollywood it is customary to pay attention to their creativity with the help of such topics. However, then David O. Russell returned to more or less familiar scenes for the cinema. In the rolling out the tapes of its production "Three Kings", "Fighter", "Burglars of Hearts".

In 2011, O. Russell started filming the picture "My Guy is a Psycho." Actors of the project (R. de Niro, B. Cooper and D. Lawrence) coped so well with the task that each of them was nominated for an Oscar for the work done. The music for the comedy was written by Danny Elfman, who previously worked on soundtracks for blockbusters "Especially Dangerous", "Terminator: Let the Savior Come" and "People in Black-3". Behind the camera was Masanobu Takayanagi.

Scenario movie

The film "My boyfriend is a psycho" is a small sketch from the life of the Solitano family. Officially, among relatives there is only one person with oddities - Pat, who after a nervous breakdown spent at the hospital 8 months. But if you look closely: there is no smoke without fire. So, Father Pat is an avid player who lost his job, but did not even think of finding a new place in any company. Instead, Solitano Sr. lowers the family's money at the races and cherishes a dream that he will one day win and open his restaurant. Pat's mother is a quiet silent woman. She does not have the heart to say that she really thinks about the situation in the family.

Against the background of all this insanity in the life of Pat Jr. appears girl Tiffany. She was also recently released from a psychiatric hospital. But sometimes it seems more sensible than the whole Solitano family. Tiffany tries to get closer to Pat. But he stubbornly dreams of regaining the location of his ex-wife. And only at the end of the film, when the common cause unites Tiffany and Pat, the couple finally realizes that they no longer need anyone, that they are happy together.

"My boyfriend is crazy": Bradley Cooper in the role of Pat

Bradley Cooper at the moment is one of the most notable people in Hollywood: the audience loves him, and the directors are sympathetic. But not always in the life of the actor, everything was so smooth. His first star role is associated with the project "Area of Darkness", in which Cooper played a loser writer. The image was a success for the artist. After all, the biography of his character partially echoes with the real facts of Cooper's life: Bradley's youth spent in obscurity, trying to cope with alcohol and drug addiction.

The film "My Guy the Psycho" once again gave Cooper an opportunity to play an outsider, which then miraculously reincarnates. Pat Solitano at the beginning of the film appears before the audience a miserable person. He lost his job, still lives with his parents, humiliated before his ex-wife. But it is the communication with Tiffany that forces Pat to change his habitual style of behavior. This is the touchingness of the picture "My boyfriend is a psycho." Bradley Cooper plays a hero who, from an amorphous mass, has turned into a man who says "no" to his past. And for this successful reincarnation of the actor was nominated in 2013 for an Oscar.

"My boyfriend is a psycho": actors. Jennifer Lawrence as Tiffany

Jennifer Lawrence began acting in movies from the age of 16. Like all Hollywood performers, it went through both television shows and through nondescript serials. For the first time on the big screens, Lawrence appeared in 2011, playing the mysterious Mystic in the blockbuster "X-Men: First Class." A year later the girl became the main star of the franchise "Hunger Games". And then her name began to sound from everywhere. Shooting in the "Hunger Games" lifted Lawrence over their peers. In 2014, Jen even managed to get the title of "The highest paid actress" according to Forbes magazine. This event was preceded by filming in the film O. Russell "My boyfriend is a psycho." Jennifer Lawrence for the role of friend Pat was the first in her career, "Oscar".

Tiffany is an ambiguous character. On the one hand, she is impulsive and poorly controlled by her emotions. On the other - the girl is purposeful and much more adequately assesses life than Pat and his family. Tiffany tries to explain to the young man that his dreams of a happy future with his ex-wife are just an illusion and a fiction. Constant thoughts about the end of the relationship, he makes worse only himself. In the final picture of the heroine, Lawrence succeeds in not only bringing back sensible thinking to Pat, but also falling in love with Solitano himself.
