Cage absolutely nailed this role. I fell in love with this film when it came out nearly 30 years ago. It’s beautiful. It’s sad. It’s funny. It’s tragic. And just fucking epic.
He literally met with late stage alcoholics to nail the role. Well deserved Oscar for this. Anyone who says Cage is a bad actor, I point to this. He just made some bad financial choices and took every role that came his way.

I used to work for AMC Theatres from 1990-1997. When this movie premiered it was a full house. I had watched it the day prior and fell in love with their performances. Two imperfect people with flaws and she is the saving angel that wants to save his life from destruction...
This movie isn't about alcohol, love, or any other silly tropes. It's about a dude who's fed up with his existential circumstances and decides to take the reigns, even if (or particularly if) that denies him existence itself. It is the ultimate story of self liberation.
This movie is not about alcoholism. Its about unconditional love. Ben could have been any other self-destructive character, like a heroin junkie, or an AIDS patient. The point is, he was clearly on a downward spiral and still found someone who loved him despite of his imperfections. He was accepted for all the good and the bad that came with him. And that is what makes unconditional love tough.
Desde 2019 mi amigo, vengo aquí. Junto con el video de "I Drink Alone - George Thorogood" con imágenes de Leaving Las Vegas y otras películas 📼 😂 de ahí fue que me decidí a ver este film y quedé conmovido pues estaba viviendo algo similar... Long story short: terminé bebiendo toda aquella noche con esa pelicula y mi🍺en mano🌃 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4E9ydw_aDMg.htmlsi=npOSgVlbwmcnoo3Z
This film holds a special place in my heart. I remember going to Vegas back in 2004 when I was 22 and I thought about this movie and songs a lot. It's definitely sin city. I'm from Manchester UK 🇬🇧
@@TheUnmaker28977 I think he okay. But I'd prefer to say: Most relatable movie of my late 10s: The Basketball Diaries Most relatable movie of my early 20s: Trainspotting Most relatable movie of my late 20s: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Most relatable movie of my early 30s: Leaving Las Vegas
Jonathan lee, don’t mind full name, just done a 5 night diazepam stay in hospital 240mg a day I was still shaking, then a few days later it goes, if you have nurses who understand this, compared to quitting opiates is a joke !!! You need hospital for alcohol though people it’s only easier with a benzo !!! Every 90 mins for days !! Seek help, there may be a Sara out there for you x
Hands down the best of the best, the best actor of his generation in both categories, who in their right minds would put nick cage and lizzy shue Tod ether in an all in total love story, if only Ben hadn’t fallen in love with “liquour first then him and Sara would have had a great chance. Still I dream, the film won’t change, but happily it has never changed emotionally for me , best film of the 90’s period.
Just goes to show you can make a great movie on a budget of pennies. No fireworks, just good acting, a story that everyone can feel "for not for the grace of God there go I," and just that intangible "something" about this movie that's hard to put your finger on. He kills himself, yet he was probably more "free" in those last days than at any time in his life. Letting go of life can sure feel good.
Great points. It really was also about their love and the bad timing & circumstances. Everyone focuses on alcohol but it was so deep, sad, profound...one of their best💔🌵🍸🎈🎬
Sorry for your loss Jason. I know i dont know you or your beautiful wife (I bet you seen her angel wings though) but even though I'm not religious or anything... I live in Dublin and have a huge beautiful church, The Oblates in Inchicore, near me and ill get a candle and light it for her and give YOU a moment Jason. Love is the only force only thing I believe in. She's still here in your heart. Take care mate 👍 ♥ ☀ ✌️ From 🇮🇪
