Another angle in Silver Linings is it takes place in Philadelphia and the whole town is Eagle crazy, the crazy people, the pschiatrist, the hookers, the bookies and they all show up at an Eagles game (the Dad [DeNiro] can't go cause he's banned for life for fighting) and they've all got their faces painted green and white. They're betting on the games and trying to force the "ju ju" (must be an east coast thing) by setting the remotes just right and a host of other OCD rituals. They bet the farm on the Eagles and Cowboys game and everything hangs on that one game along with a Dance contest at the Franklin where these two unbalanced people compete against the very best. A classic Parley. So many themes so imaginatively weaved into the this story. When she receives the Academy Award (as you see in that YouTube Video above) the theme they play is "My Cherie Amour", a very special theme that is weaved into the story as well and is the trigger for why the guy (Bradley Cooper) finally goes off the deep end and takes the plea bargain to go into the looney bin for 8 months. I've said too much. Best movie in years. A kind of movie you want to own on DVD and keep forever.
