A good story that bleeds but doesn't shed dog blood

In the 1990s, a new word appeared in China, "blockbuster". Cinema movies began to show some high-cost Hollywood movies. In my impression, "True Lies" was the first (at least in our city), and I But I was most impressed with "Brave to the Dead Island" (probably because of the school's organization to watch it together), and it was also the first time I came into contact with many Hollywood superstars such as Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, and Harris.

I just want to watch another Cage movie occasionally, just click on "Leaving Las Vegas", because of the silent mode turned on in special circumstances, I know that I will miss the BGM (if it is very good), even if it is a silent film, it is still wonderful , I read it in one breath, and my heart felt turbulent after reading it, it was the kind of sadness with warmth in the middle ). (Look at the movie introduction again, it turned out to be an Oscar-winning movie, no wonder)

United States, Los Angeles, Ben (played by Cage) has a career similar to that of a writer or a screenwriter. More importantly, he is an alcoholic (the kind that is terminally ill). In the film, Ben's line "My wife left me, I don't know because Did I drink when she left me? Or did she leave me because I was drinking." It seems to me that after the sentence was said, Ben's people set up - a "good" man who was heavily alcoholic but deeply affectionate. (Ben's character remains unchanged)

The United States, Las Vegas, Ben sold all his belongings and came to the casino, intending to drink until he died (estimated that it would take four weeks), and met the heroine sera (a prostitute who made a living in the casino) on the street, the alcoholic and The arrangement after the prostitute met for the first time (you know), the location is in the cheap hotel that Ben rented, and the two people who are both fallen from the end of the world have a good relationship with each other (this story may be a bit cliché, and the voiceover is "together, together" ).

From the title of the film, it is inferred that "Leave..." or according to the domestic drama film shooting method, it should be an alcoholic who quit drinking and a prostitute Congliang, from then on the prince and princess lived a happy life, or the style of a road movie - continue to leave, from then on, the people who love each other go to the world every corner. However, this film is not conventional, and it makes people consistent. From acquaintance to fiery to warm touch, the two do not interfere with each other and understand each other (it is also possible that people who are in deep trouble also know that they do not have the ability to let each other out of the sea of ​​misery) She is still a prostitute, but her life is full of surprise gifts, dinner with someone, wine + kisses in the swimming pool force).

Ben died in a dim and dilapidated hotel with Sera by his side. Ben "left" Las Vegas in the most logical way. The story is over, and the love may not be over.
