Simply put, Leaving Las Vegas (1995) is a beautiful film.

You may hear others use different adjectives, such as "sad," "depressing," even "gross," but there is no denying the quality of the character development. And there is certainly no denying the powerful performances by Nicolas Cage and Elizabeth Shue. 

The soundtrack is legendary, and simply reinforces just how powerful and memorable the film truly is.

I suggest you make time to watch this film and give it your full attentions and focus to truly appreciate it.
