I rented the DVD for Anger Management last night, and I have to say that it’s the best Adam Sandler movie as yet, and in fact the best Comedy movie I’ve seen this year.
The movie is totally side-cracking hilarious, and I’ve already seen it twice.
Adam Sandler & Jack Nicholson are a great match. And John Turturro is amazing, he steals every scene he’s in and never fails to break me into laughter.
Everything in this movie is perfectly put together to make a fun and very enjoyable movie experience. A true must see.
Other than a great laugh and lots of fun, there’s something else I came out with from this movie, and that’s a diagnostic of myself 😛
The character of Buddy (played by Jack Nicholson) explains: “There is explosive and implosive anger. Explosive anger is the guy in the supermarket yelling at the cashier for not taking his coupons. Implosive anger is the cashier meekly submitting to his abuse — until one day he calmly shoots everyone in the store.”
And well, when thinking of it, I found out I’m of the implosive type.
Ok, I’ve known that about myself for a long time 😛
I’m the kind of person who people think is the calmest and most cold-blooded person on earth just because I don’t get angry quickly, but the thing is they don’t really know what’s going on behind that icy cold fa
“cause the next explosion just might be waiting for his last straw :P”… oops, allah yostur, lol. Well I agree with you; it’s the best Adam Sandler movie up till now. Although it made me realize a very weird yet dangerous fact about myself. I found out I’m neither explosive, nor implosive, I’m both, loooool. To some poeple Eman is a an ice cube, to others I’m a nuclear bomb. I wonder what Dr. Buddy would say about my case 🙂
I understood why people were going to their jobsites on a killing rampage for quite a while. I kept quiet except once. The person I told this too, said I should be quiet about it (too). So I did, again. Now, it’s out. Hollywood is allowed to speak more openly than I am. I have no intentions of doing anything to anybody. (I fear God.) But I did find me an out. I retired from my job early with a reasonable pension and I love the freedom; like a load lifted almost immediately. I’m amazed even three years later, how wonderful it feels and I thank God.
I’ve learned to reflect on how I feel, what I want (spiritually) and let go of most of the other stuff. It is small. It’s so much nicer to be blessed than to be cursed.
i too saw anger management. and when i did boy just let me tell u, it was a rude awakening. i realized that i hold in a lot of anger, resentment and hatred.cos’i’m so scared that i might hurt a lot of people one day.especially my 1 year old daughter who i hold very dear to me. but people piss me off so much to point i want destroy them. i don’t wanna just kill them i be wanting them to suffer before i kill them. and i should even think like that. somtetimes i even feel like committing sucide cos i’m always trying avoid an arguement or an altercation. and its not cos i’m scared. its just when i do voice my opinon about the situation either the person didn’t get what i was saying or they just can’t handle what i’m saying. tha bad thing about it is that i used to speak my mind so clearly about anything and i wasn’t so hesiatent about straighting a person when i felt like i was being tried. but i was told so much to stop doing it and to humble myself.and just let it be. but it made me feel so soft as person and made me so distant from myself to the point now that i second guess everything i do. and instead of having one mind 2 figure things out it feels like it’s two minds in one body. and i’m not talking about my good and bad side. i’m talking about 2 minds with there own personality. and it makes me hate myself so much till i want to take it there. and i won’t be doing my child no favors and myself niether. i try my best to help people. they come to me for advice cos i guess they feel like my mind doesn’t think like other people and to be real with u it doesn’t. but at the end of the day i’m the one whose needing advice. and everyone tells me the same thing. that “u should start speaking u r mind more clearly.” but that would just cos’ more trouble. my question is when are u supposed to release the anger u r having. cos truly it’s made me hate myself so much to the point that i’m mad at no one but myself and i’ve tried everything to stop this cos i need my confidence to survive in this cold world and i need be there for my child. so god if u read this please help me cos i’m losing my mind and i keep turning to the wrong people and the wrong things to cope with this problem. so if u r listing god please help your son cos u is all i got.
