I battled alcohol for 36 years. This is a great depiction.. I see myself in almost every scene.
This movie always makes me want a drink 😎
Same here my friend. The check signing scene...uhhhh.
There’s always the balding long hair dude, in jeans
@@dmitryowens How can you crave alcohol while watching a movie about a man suffering in the throes of addiction? That’s dysfunction if I ever heard it.
@@bobnunyabiznz4917 You must be fun at parties, dude. If you've ever been to one, that is.
he was 30 and this is one of his finest performances. he nailed it throughout the movie, he sure deserves an oscar
Boy, you aint kidding!
Yes, he does. I would have given it to my love Elisabeth Shue if I had been in Association
This is one of the most haunting movies I’ve ever seen
The book is the most haunting thing I’ve ever read. I’ve heard great things about the movie too though
he lights the match completely in control AFTER he "spills". He spilled on purpose to get another drink. Not to avoid the discussion - but to accomplish the goal.
I don't think so, he already had a full drink. Sometimes as a drunk you'll relax for a second and do something clumsy and then snap back to attention after the spill.
I promise you, no alcoholic lets a drink go to waste. If he was being clever, he'd have put water in it.
Reminds me of Dad lifestyle never knew what he went through until I walked the same road myself. Sober now I know how hard it is to keep sober not dry. Thanks 🙏 Group Of Drunks who saved me
This movie was so very sad, to know that there are people who really struggle like this with alcohol ,is truly heartbreaking. But on a lighter note,the soundtrack is amazing!
So grateful to be sober finally.✌️🇺🇸
Cage's best film--and Elizbeth's also, imo
If you're a normal person this movie is just a sad romantic movie... If you're an alcoholic the second half of this movie is an actual horror movie.
I really don't wanna be, "that guy" in this comment, but just a quick note. The book this is based on is an insanely deep look at alcoholism. A surprising amount of the movie is really faithful to the book (at times line for line), but Ben's alcoholism, particularly in LA before he gets to Vegas, is detailed so painfully accurate that people have a hard time believing that people can drink like that. There are a lot of parts in the book that dive deep into Ben's drunken way of thinking and how above all else, "always have access to a drink".
Realistically I don't think you could probably drink yourself to death like Ben does in the book and the movie. You could die of alcohol poisoning sure, but both stories show him dying in a hotel room next to Sera, presumably of some sort of organ failure... Alcoholism in real life is a slow agonising way to die even if you're just going balls to the wall.
I'm an on again off again alcoholic, currently sober (who knows for how long) and in the depths of a true binge you lose track of full blown days, can never tell if it's day or night because you pass out so much and beyond all else the most terrifying thing is when you come to and there is nothing alcoholic in the house... so depending on your previous intoxication level you have to make a choice whether you go to the store, sweaty and unbearably shaky as you are, to get more or do you suffer it out and cool down? If you do it cold turkey, good luck, the withdrawals can kill you and by far are the worst thing I've ever suffered in my entire life.... Sweating, shaking, cramps, hallucinations, cracked skin, unexplained bruises, migraines, dizziness, endless vomiting so much your insides burn nonstop, zero sleep for over a week, can't think right, can't talk right, can't see right and unless you wanna spend thousands of dollars to attempt to detox in a hospital, you're gonna go through it probably all alone... If you make it out the other side let me tell you that week or so you spent sick feels like you went to different dimensions multiple times and were gone for eons.
H can help u. As a professional alcoholic from Russland I can confirm that this movie is greatest in that theme.
You are spot on my friend, been there on the deepest valley. One day I decided bo more and that was the day I got my second chance. It takes what it takes. Most people need to look at the very front of the phone book. That wasn't my experience. There is hope.
It's really that bad?
@@ADAPTATION7 Absolutely and worse.
@@ADAPTATION7literal hell on earth.
This movie had such an Amazingly good Soundtrack, and the movie itself was quite good too.
Movie was good. Soundtrack is Fucking dosgshit
I am on my 3rd year of sobriety I can relate to how it's being depicted
I tell you actors who take on roles dealing with addiction it's definitely a strong test of an actors talents
I'm on day 4 of sobriety! I had to tapper. So freaking hard, but I did it.
I’ve been battling alcoholism pretty much all of my adult life and I’m dry since Boxing Day last year. I watch this as a warning to how far things could go if I don’t stay strong
Amazing film. And Julian Lennon as the bartender...theres nothing not perfect about this film or book. The novel is spectacular. The author, who wrote it as a semi biographical novel, shot himself shortly after it was announced.
Bless all those afflicted with addiction
I didn't even realize that was him. Good call.
Wow ! That's a tragedy....so he didn't live to see the success of his classic work?
Is that what you're saying?
@@sakinah9901 - Yes, correct. His father basically said that the movie was his suicide note .
@@matthewschwartz6607so heartbreaking
@@babynieve9612 - Supposedly, the book was at least somewhat autobiographical .
Im an alcoholic. This movie was really thought provoking. Ive seen it about 5 times.
Great character roles for Laurie Metcalf, & Shawnee Smith, I wonder if either had their names in the movie credits.
…Elizabeth Shu fine performance and a beauty
Élizabeth shue est sublime dans ce film 😍
To me, this is the greatest love story ever told ❤
Agree
Gotta disagree. He cheated on her and broke her heart, then (in the book) he just started beating in next to her in his death bed, so she helped him finish. Not exactly a storybook prince lol.
It's vile. Stop romanticizing sin and death.
@@Yesica1993 borrow my stepladder, so you can jump down of your high horse.
As a alcoholic i can verify the match book could not be completed while sober
Yeah, I'd have enough trouble lighting a match normally.
This movie is not about alcoholism. Its about unconditional love.
Well that’s a shame because I’ve never seen a more realistic depiction of the pain of alcohol withdrawals
@@nathanbowser609 The protagonist could have been any other self-destructive character like a sex addict, or a heroin junkie. The point is, he still found someone who loved him unconditionally
Nah, it's about alcoholism. He's a dirtbag who exploits her unconditional love. Even the last things he says to her in the motel room was cringe. She was a tool to be used so he could get his drinks.
@@ColonBurns He could have been any self-destructive character like a Heroine addict or a gambler, the point is, he was loved by the woman despite of his imperfections. she did not ask him to change, although it comes to a point where her love wont be enough to save him
@@Ironheart73 yeah, maybe, if you can call it true love after what, six weeks, and from a woman who had suffered pain and abuse and was just looking for someone, anyone? The dude was a dysfunctional alcoholic who used people to get what he needed, as evidenced from the first 20m of the film. My point is, his last words to her about "getting me hard" was one of the tackiest final words in history, and him saying "wow" right before he died shows that even he was surprised by her being there with him. He was a piece of shit. I love the movie, but he was a piece of shit.
One of the FEW good films of Nicolas Cage; showcasing his TRUE acting ability.
Are you kidding? There are so many incredible Nic Cage movies. He's one of the greatest actors that have ever lived.
Have you ever seen Raising Arizona, Wild at Heart, Adaptation, Matchstick Men, Lord of War, Bad Lieutenant, Joe, Mandy, or Pig? He’s been in a lot of great films.
Fellow scouser Lennon in this film, learn something everyday 👍
Elisabeth Shue was so good
Best movie ever.
Both great great actors love the movie
I loved Elizabeth Shue's work here and in Cocktail with Tom Cruise.
RIP Richard Lewis
The best movie of Nicholas Cage.
Very good film
Top Quality from. Cage and Shue...!! 🙄😎😎😎🤔🤔🤔🥂🔝🐾🐾🐾🎤👌👌
Can you please do a lounger full day on this topic Love it
Great movie 🎬 🎞 🎥 🎦 📽 👌 🎬 one of my favorites
wait a sec. is that girl from around 3:50 not that crazy chick from the saw franchise?
I hate bad spaghetti anyway.what a charmer
This is how my father behaved. I at 41 years old I started drinking after I lost my children I remember drinking vodka in the woods or stealing my roommate change to buy cheap Steele reserve yuch😢
You all good now my friend ?
Powerful film and acting but I remember feeling the overuse of Sting's pop covers really took something away from it. Just look at the first scene here, why is that song necessary? I was surprised Mike Figgis made that choice. And all throughout this film. Silence is golden in cinema.
I think his songs and the entire soundtrack are great.
You man or mouse ? everyone fights there demons in different ways good luck from me and mine 🙂
This is Romeo and Juliet if they met later in life in Sin City.
My drunk fantasies were way worse than a headbutt
"Mind if I buy her a drink?"
"I don't care what the fuck you do with her"
Great movie but read the book! I've cried at the end...
....should be required viewing.
It's a hoax that the Oscar existed before that movie. It was invented for Nicolas Cage after this movie. Greets from dry country.

It is pretty hard to drink yourself to death. I preferred to get buzz-drunk,.....not quite drunk,....more like mellowed. What saved me, was every sip was followed by a chaser of a couple gulps of fresh water. I never smelled like booze, I figured some people take a daily anti-anxiety pill. I chose to sip vodka. I'd put air-travel mini-bottles of booze in my work coffee, like Bailys Irish creme. It made every day go a lot better.
Alcohol gets in your blood so does oxygen and you breathe out c02 and the alcohol that your liver hasn’t filtered out x
6:00 Julian Lennon ❤
I thought it was Sean. Which one did "Now You're Heaven"? Crap, now I have to look it up.
You're right. Julian. Thanks.
One of my favourite movies that I saw for the first time a year ago. Also it revealed a new actress who I fell in love with - Elisabeth Shue.
Sera with an "e". S-E-R-A. My one and only love ...
That's Julian Lennon as the bartender...
For all you Z's and Millenials.
It wasn't the having sex with his girlfriend that pissed him off.........
.... it was the caviar afterwards.
There were many other great scenes.
Ben with an “N”. Is that a reference to the karate kid? 😅
So crazy when you have everything you could ever want but you constantly think about it. I live in a family of "functioning" alcohics. Wish I have never started so young. It looks great but when you are in it..its a death sentence and there is no way out.
I was at this exact spot JESUS SHOWED UP. SOBRIETY
You can stop bud that’s easy it’s just the wanting more that is harder to stop 👍
Was the book really autobiographical?
Think about that question while keeping in mind that Ben died at the end.
The Man who wrote the story died during production of the film. It is all around very tragic. It's definitely sad and beautiful at the same time.
I think in the energy of smoke and you might will say
If you didn't know Julian Lennon is the bartender
When I first saw the movie back in '95 I totally missed him. A bit later I discovered he was in it.
Actor Julian Sands (Yuri) is missing in Mount Baldy. 3:48 Always hated this lady.
It's a shame, they found his remains. He was good in the part of Yuri. RIP Julian Sands
UHD please!!
Sting is NO Johnny Hartman.
Hold me again kendra ❤
Can any one provide genuine link to watch this movie
In booze and broken jazz the spaghetti smells
Seen once
Helped me get sober. But too close to home. Literally tried to drink myself to death because I’d been yo rehab so many times. It’d take me a gallon of vodka a day to not have seizures. Last time I was off the wagon. my boy, barely talking at the time, woke me up “daddy I’m worried your sick” . to hear a two year old say that broke my heart . Went to rehab one more time then became an addiction counselor for years to make it stick. He’s a fine young man now, I’m still alive to see it. Don’t counsel anymore, but have a sober living and still occasionally plan interventions. Long story short I was this level of a drunk,planned to also die, but god had a different plan
Glass breaks
I don't remember
can someone explain the frames to the right and its intention
Sorry, not sure I understand the question.
@@OhShootKid thanks. I made a mistake. It was the wrong clip. I will find it.
You have to know
Shes
Was so hot
wonderful alcohol the elixir of life, and with Elisabeth Shue by my side it is much better, a true dream come true..
What a question.its not dramatic.so why
No difference to me
