LEAVING LAS VEGAS-ben meets sera for the first time (1995)

submitted by enoch

1 decade 4 years 3 months 3 weeks ago

in what is in my opinion nicholas cage's finest role portraying a man determined to drink himself to death.based on an autobiographical novel by jon obrien who actually killed himself two weeks after signing the book deal.

what i found so poignant and sad about this movie was that even though the love that developed between ben and sera,his pain is so great it wont deter him from killing himself by drinking non-stop.nicholas cage was brilliant in this role.

One of my favourite ever films. Definitely think it's his finest performance (and hers), by a million miles. Makes me sob every time I watch it...

Definitely worth watching once, but it made me feel so bad, I don't think I'd watch again.

That was a great role.

But who could forget Valley Girl?

Once upon a time, Nicolas Cage was good. Very good.
