Leaving Las Vegas (1995)

Think I watched this on tv when I was in high school...didn't know this movie actually garnered so many awards back then. I didn't think this movie is really that good but it does got me thinking. My summary of this movie is love=need and the ultimate love is the kind of love like what a parent show his/her children...no matter how bad the situation go or how things turn out to be, we still want the best for them. The kind of need that transcends the need for you to change the person, that you will still love him/her for what they are, for better or worse, irregardless of where or who they are, near or apart...and the feeling that your world will not be complete or is tasteless, senseless without them...that's what love is, and should be.

Enjoy!

Ben Sanderson, an alcoholic Hollywood screenwriter who lost everything because of his drinking, arrives in Las Vegas to drink himself to death. There, he meets and forms an uneasy friendship and non-interference pact with prostitute Sera.
