There are very few movies that make people clearly remember how they felt every time they revisited it. Maybe because it's a movie that makes people want to take it out and watch another one at a certain time.
I vaguely remember that the first time I saw it was because of the words Las Vegas, I thought it would be a story about a gambler who lost his fortune and escaped debt in the casino. The depressing plot was almost unbearable for me at that time. After watching it, I regretted why I had to blame myself for nothing. But for some unknown reason I didn't habitually delete it from the hard drive, and it just lay quietly in that corner. Destined to wait for our next meeting.
That summer, it was even more bloody than the most bloody Korean drama. Fate jokingly made me helpless but unable to extricate myself. Maybe the only choice was to give up. Without warning, the scene of Ben whistling and filling the cart with wine emerges. I sat in front of my computer, double-clicked to open it, and when Sting finished the first verse, Have you ever had a feeling that the world gonna left you behind... I was in tears. For the next two hours, I didn't have the slightest bit of resistance, and let despair recklessly occupied every corner it could touch. I actually laughed when Ben stared at the camera and let out his last breath. Thanks to this movie that portrays despair so profoundly, it made me laugh at how far I was at the time when I was nowhere near losing hope.
This is my first time writing a movie review. I really like this movie, and I really miss the summer of that year.
