In 2003 Adam Sandler produced and performed in an extremely funny comedy titled Anger Management. It was about a man who at a very young age suffered an extremely traumatic event which would effect his way of life up until his girlfriend finds a way to cure him. While in grade school young Dave Buznik attempts to kiss the girl of his dreams when the school bully decided to "pants" him, pulls down Dave's pants, in front of all the school. As a result of this event he develops aggression that he keeps buried deep inside of him that comes out later in life. Dave's girlfriend, Linda decides to seek professional help for him without Dave knowing that she has. The therapist and the therapy that Dave experiences is very unorthodox and pushes him beyond any limit that he has ever experienced. Eventually Dave graduates from the therapeutic program and moves on to propose to his girlfriend and he develops a good friendship with the "crazy" therapist.
In chapter 11 "Aggression" is discussed in our text books. Aggression by definition are actions meant to harm or destroy. In the movie Anger Management Adam Sandler's character ends up hurting a flight attendant, a therapist, and a girlfriend which ultimately destroys his life before he is cured. Also, in chapter 11 "Displaced Aggression" talks about how this is when one takes out one's frustrations on some less threatening or more available target. It also points out how frustration is generally a precursor to the aggression which is used throughout the film for example; their was a scene where Dave attempts to sleep on a flight and his flight neighbor insists that he watch the in flight movie with him and of course becomes extremely frustrated which causes him to accidentally strike the flight attendant.
