Movie Review-Happy Gilmore
The main character of this movie is a character named Happy Gilmore. The movie begins with Happy describing his past life and how he is into hockey. He also talks about how his father is also obsessed with hockey, how his mother left them because of that, and how his father died by getting hit in the head with a puck. Happy developed a short fuse because of this, which is showed by him hitting a kid on the head with a hammer and the fact that he set a record in jr. hockey for trying to stab someone with a skate. Shooter McGavine is the bad guy in the movie. He is a well-known pro golfer who is the leading pro money winner when Happy joins the tour. He gets jealous of him and tries to get him kicked off the tour by setting him up. Chubs is Happy's mentor in the movie. He discovers Happy's power at a driving range and enters him in the Waterbury Open. He shows up later in the movie to teach Happy to putt so that he can win his grandmother's house back. Happy's grandmot!her took in Happy when his father died and raised him. She is the reason he joined the tour because she has not paid her taxes in 10 years and lost her house and belongings. Virginia Bennett is the Public Relations person for the tour and ends up helping
Happy learns that he has a powerful drive and gets discovered by Chubs. Happy does win the tournament and makes it onto the pro tour. As he does this, a fan in the audience is insulting Happy to another spectator. He means on the golf course, but Happy thinks he means for real and he breaks a bottle on he bar and sticks it in Shooters face. He uses positive imagery again before he makes his final putt, but this time he sees Chubs who has died and it gives him the motivation to win the tournament. He does well behaving himself for most of the rest of the movie until he has a run in with Bob Barker. Happy uses imagery toward the end of the movie to help him with his putting. At the start of the movie Happy is seen trying out for amateur hockey. Overall, I'd give this movie a rating of 3. This is his "happy place" which is understandable, except for the midget that leaves questions. He ends up hitting Bob and loses a fight to Bob and gets suspended form the tour. The first scene has him pounding some guy into the glass and elbowing him down to the ice. The most obvious psychological issue that arises is aggression in sports. Happy hears him and when he finally puts t!he ball in the hole, walks up to they guy, rips his shirt off, and knocks the guy out. He pictures his girlfriend and his grandmother making out with Shooter.
