The reason why the heroine falls in love with him is not only because life is hard and lonely, and needs company and comfort, because his time is short, and there is no positive help for life. He is attracted by the male protagonist, and the internal motivation is that she herself is also identifying and sliding towards this nothingness. However, she can still have love, and she has not become a complete nothingness like the male protagonist, which shows that she still has some inner strength to fight against nothingness. In the film, she cooks for him and takes him to travel, which also shows her love for normality There is still desire and a little hope for happiness, although she also knows and accepts that his love and happiness, and even the love and happiness she can have that has nothing to do with him, are like dew. Time is short. It's fleeting, so she can grab a little bit, but she has almost zero requirements for the male protagonist. Ah, I feel sorry for the heroine, she is beautiful, she is both charming with nihilism, and touching with the pursuit of love and resistance to nothingness

So this is not a love movie, but a stare and confrontation with the abyss of life.

The scene of drinking in the pool was amazing. It's also the condensed version of the whole scene. The water is even more symbolic of the unbearable reality. The male protagonist pours the wine there, and is really indulged in a state of complete indulgence without caring for his breath, not caring whether he is alive or not. The heroine went down to find him and kissed him. It was really two desperate people who couldn't breathe. The touching thing about the kiss of two desperate people was that it was a senseless and compassionate kind of life that reached the bottom. A touch of bright beauty on top of a dark undertone of despair.

    "Two cold hearts, stay together and feel at ease", isn't this what I said when I was 15 years old?

    Not having empathy is a terrible thing, the story is alienating from us, the characters are alienating from us, so even the emotions are alienating from us, which leads to a result, the film itself is alienating from us, we can neither think nor feel, so I take a clear stand. didn't like the movie.

Leaving Las Vegas quotes

  • Landlady: So, I was not about to open the door. Because, if, I don't know who, I don't know where, I don't know what, I don't know, whatever, these days. So.

  • Sera: What did you do with your clothes?

    Ben Sanderson: I threw them out, which was perhaps immoral; but, I wanted to come to you clean, so to speak. Thought we'd go shopping. Pick out a pair of jeans and 45 pairs of underwear. Just throw one out each day.
