Leaving Las Vegas

[NitrogenAfternoon]

Highly recommend this book and film to anyone as their ctb date approaches. It will speak to you so much even if you don't relate to the alcoholism that brought him there.

the author of the book ctb'd when the book was set to be a movie. His family has said it is a suicide letter. It's the most beautiful suicide letter ever written.

Reading it and watching it during this time, and it speaks to me more than ever. This is my second read through of the book, but I have seen the film countless times over my lifetime, but it's more impactful than ever

my life has aligned in such a similar way. I hate that I love this book and movie so much. I hate how much I resonated with it.

Anyone else a fan of "Leaving Las Vegas"? Whether it's the book or the film

It's a good movie—one of Nick Cage's better performances.

Loved the film, hadn't realised there was a book, so thanks. I'll see if I can get an old copy somewhere.
