When I was in junior high school, I watched this movie for the first time. I was as innocent as a junior high school student at the time. Not to mention the details of ML, I didn’t even know the general process, and I didn’t know what alcohol addiction was. 【Can you eat it? But that night, after watching this movie full of sex and drunkenness on the small TV at home, I sat in a trance and trembling at the desk full of math homework, and the triangle pattern in front of me was filled with despair. And the shock twisted to the point that every symbol seemed to be screaming "how could this be?" I didn't solve a math problem that night.
Until now, there has never been a movie like this that can give me such a huge psychological shock effect, not to mention this is a literary film without hormone secretion and only depression.
In Las Vegas, you can find everything you can buy in Las Vegas. Some people waved banknotes and shouted and wanted to make a fortune here, and successful people who went on business trips and meetings just wanted to spend money to find women and have fun. In a sense, they are people who are motivated in life: earning money can lead to a better life in the future, and playing gambling with cocaine can show off as a life experience in the future. Only ben, the kind of guy who bought death in Las Vegas.
Someone asked, why didn't Ben go to the doctor, since they are in love, why can't they join hands with leaving LasVegas and start a new life? In the first 10 minutes, we all know that Ben's setbacks are nothing more than that the momentary smug screenwriter's glory is gone, his people and money are gone, and he is addicted to alcohol. We have watched so many inspirational films, healing films, romance films and biopics. Didn’t the protagonists overcome all kinds of difficulties like that to reach the peak of life? Saving the world can be done in minutes.
Unfortunately, the theme of this movie is despair, not love. Ben's despair has come all his life, and he has lost hope that things will change even if he makes some changes. Even love, such a wild, romantic, sincere love, the most beautiful thing in the world, couldn't change Ben's mind. Some people will say that this is Ben's too cowardly character, and the character decides the fate. The protagonists of so many inspirational healing films and romance biopics have shown us the brilliance after the counterattack, but they have never taught us how to survive the painful period of the counterattack. And ordinary people generally can't make it through.
The love between Ben and Sera is based on mutual needs. Two people who have been spurned, forgotten and humiliated by the world warm each other up, but neither of them expected the other to change because of themselves. Although this love is sincere and romantic, They are so humble that they don't even agree with them. The root cause is the despair and confusion of their respective lives.
Everyone leaves Las Vegas eventually, but not everyone gets what they want from Las Vegas, but Sera and Ben did.
