Enjoy!

I was doing some more thinking about this reaction, and I now have my own theory why the main character fell in love with the woman. He is attracted to her weakness for addiction. I mean, he talks about how the casino always wins. They just have to convince you to stay a little longer, and then the casino wins. Well, in my opinion he figured that it didn't matter that he had not succeeded at getting her to love him YET. He, in his own mind, was like the casino. If he could convince her to stay a little longer, he would eventually "win" her heart.

2025-05-03 15:42:36 +0000 UTCI think you make some interesting points about addiction Ames. I used to do a lot of drugs, and therefore I have a different perspective on this movie. It doesn't contradict yours, but there are more layers. The issue, is that drugs and other addictions offer a way to temporarily escape from your problems because it forces your mind to be in an alternative state. Its basically a very effective distraction from your own anxiety. In my opinion the reason why she couldn't stop doing the drugs, was because she had nothing but abusive people in her life. Even the guy she loved (her pimp) was clearly emotionally abusive towards her. The best way to stop doing drugs (and other addictions) is to resolve the problems in your life, or to completely get away from the types of people who are enabling or contributing to those problems. But this woman kept being attracted to guys who would eventually be abusive to her. So she needed more drugs to escape, mentally.
