The two people's desperate but warm love for each other in an abnormal state is a version of the "all-out" love that exhausts this life.
The male protagonist is an alcoholic and a writer. After being fired by his boss, he decides to give up, sell or burn it down, dispose of all his belongings, and go to Las Vegas with all but a small amount of cash, check into a small hotel whole year inn, and prepare to spend All of them, drink himself to death within a period of time that he estimates is about 4 weeks.
The heroine is brought into Las Vegas by a pimp. She is a highly skilled hooker who can quickly judge the needs of the client and choose what she likes. Of course, she lives a humiliating life.
The same fallen people met on the street, I walk, you stop, sorry? Afterwards, they fell in love with each other because of the transaction, and then fell in love with each other. Maybe no one has ever been so "sincere" to them. The male protagonist does not consume the female protagonist's body, and the female protagonist does not ask for money or property from the male protagonist. There is no mutual "use" at all, but only talk to each other and support each other.
The female lead invites the male lead to live together, and the male lead's condition is "you will never never ask me to stop drinking". The female lead not only agrees, but even gives the male lead a cool iron pot for drinking, like Doting on him like a child...because she is tired of being alone, all that is asked of the male lead is to stay and have someone in the house when she comes home, this is the only one thing for her...
As the heroine said at the end, they both knew that they would not spend too much time with each other, so they completely accepted each other. As a result, the two live in harmony, the male lead continues to drink heavily, and the female lead still has to go out to "work". But the good times didn't last long. The male protagonist actually brought the woman in the bar back to the female protagonist's house, and was blocked on the bed by the female protagonist. In a fit of rage, the female protagonist drove the male protagonist away.
Worthy of the Oscar winner of the year, Nicolas Cage really played the decadence and powerlessness of alcoholics, wobbly walking, uncontrollable trembling, empty and blank eyes, tears from time to time, and the momentary excitement supported by alcohol... But she was quite sober in her heart, and she didn't want to spend the heroine's money, let alone become her burden.
The female protagonist loves the male protagonist, but she knows she can't rely on him, she can't ask him, and she can't even ask him to see a doctor to help him. During the time they got along, the heroine's eyes were always sad and hopeless, as well as frowning brows and forbearing tears...
Different from the voluntary abandonment in "Bitter Moon", the abandonment of the two here is still somewhat passive. They became each other's "straw" in the gradually sinking intoxicated dream and death, and they also tried to drag each other to the "shore" to enjoy the beauty of being normal people, but the result of the struggle was only a moment of illusoryness and cruelty. Reality, because the normal world has no place for them: I wanted to go to the casino to play a few games, I was soon kicked out and warned never to enter again, went to a desert hotel for a few days to relax, and was also met with the same never again. Driven, and finally, the woman who drove away the hero was also driven out by the landlord, so she had to sit on the side of the road "begging"...
Later, in the desolate days, the female protagonist also tried to find the male protagonist, but to no avail. Later, the heroine received a call from the hero, but at this time the hero was dying and just wanted to take a last look at his angel... This story of encounter, love, cohabitation, and breakup came to the final farewell.
Although they are unbearable and even disgusting, the pure feelings are still beautiful and happy, and people still yearn for it. When not much is asked, a little giving can be enough to warm and satisfy. I believe that the heroine still warms the last time of the hero, even though she herself is so helpless and desolate.
As husbands and wives in the normal world, if they can get along with each other in their final days, can they accept, tolerate and cherish each other like the male and female protagonists? It may be difficult to actually implement it...
