leaving las vegas

[Pubrick]

it's effing brilliant.

here's a movie where all the "looks" count. i revisited it recently and the main thing i noticed was how important Shue's confessions and final lines were. it seemed intrusive and unnecessary, but it's important to show that she survived and how their love changed her. if we take it as an epilogue, it implies that she is confiding in sumone, still hurting but at least she has a friend.

this is one of the greatest love stories ever.
