Great flick. Go to the flashback scene at the opera house during the performance of La Traviata where Don would meet Helen. Watch the wine steward panning from left to right just after the lady starts singing.I say that's Bud Abbott of Abbott and Costello.Anyone agree?
ALTHOUGH EXTREMELT ACCURATE PORTRAYAL OF A TRUE ALCOHOLIC, THE END IS DEFINATELY NOT. HE WOULDVE COMMITTED SUICIDE. HE HAD REACHED THE END AT THAT POINT. ONLY A VERY SLIM POSSIBILITY OF HIM DELAYING THE ACTION ON ACCOUNT OF THE GUY BRINGING HIM HIS TYPEWRITER BACK.
THIS IS SO TRUE. AND RAY MILLIAND DID AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB PORTRAYING A TRUE ALCOHOLIC, I KNOW BECAUSE IVE BEEN THERE. if you let alcohol into your life, it can turn you into pure evil. it really is the devil and will take your life from you. you become powerless over it.
Man the Fuckin DT's don't laugh at a alcholic when he's going throught the delirium tremens he might kill you:) probally the worst thing i expierience from time to time where i really swear I am about to die your whole insides are shaking you"twitch"insomnia,delirium,sometimes can't make a simple seintence and may"babble"tounge gets all dry and keeps gettin dry,diareea,embarrassement-i remember times i had to leave work and run yea run to the bar once i even drank mouthwash knowing it could kill
I asked a former alcoholic if this is authentic and he said yes.
But the unauthentic part is the end. An addict won't get clean unless he/she wants to, and they usually have to hit rock bottom first.
His girlfriend would have to leave him, his brother would have to stop giving him money and paying his rent, the bar would have to stop giving him credit.
An addict doesn't want to get clean until he looks in the mirror and says "my luck has run out."
once when i was drinking heavy.Passed out.woke up. it was 6am. iwas suppose to be at my sisters for super at6pm.I called her and told i would be late getting there. she said its 6 am your 12 hrs early.Crazy
