Same, buddy, same. Also I used to think that even his death was kinda of a cool way to go out. Quick, painless and on your own terms. Then I recently almost died from severe liver damage, causing me to swell up and be in agonizing pain for weeks cause they can't even give you strong pain medicine. 43 days off of booze but I doubt it will last.

It's especially sad because it's largely a true, autobiographical story. John O'Brien, the author of the novel on which the movie is based, struggled with alcohol for years and eventually killed himself only a few weeks after learning that the movie was going to be made.

@Bigd5080, Alcoholism is a life sentence.....if you're an alcoholic, it's forever. I think you know that. Divorced my alcoholic spouse 24 years ago. I attended AA meetings to find out what I could possibly do to facilitate his recovery: Absolutely nothing. Alcohol means more to my ex than his health, our adult children, or our grandchildren. Today at age 71, his health is a trainwreck. Denial has cost him the opportunity to live a vibrant, full life. Your recovery is the most important action you can perform to live a productive, meaningful life. It's worth it. You deserve it. One Day at a Time. Best wishes for your continued sobriety. 🌷

I'm a bit older, saw this as a teen and thought he was a moron. I mean its not a great way to live, but we don't know the backstory, not really. My wife left during covid. I didn't drink then, now I do. Heavily. There's nothing I see that's honorable or glorious about this and maybe by some miracle I'll get out of this rut, but whether I do or don't it still a sad story if we take it literally. The character looks in his mid 30s at most, good looking, but I guess once you cross a certain line its too late no matter what you had going for you. The guy this was based on shot himself to death after his book was sold to make the movie, whereas the character seems to give up in part because he knows his days of making a living are over...

I sympathize with you. I divorced at 32 years old (Now I'm 43). I remember laying on the bed of my temp apartment and thinking I have 2 options now. Either I start drinking or start taking care of myself. My brother was an alcoholic who had already almost died 2 times because of it so I knew where that road would lead me. So I started going to the gym. It became an addiction I guess but it's what I needed to survive. Now at 43 years old I've been happily remarried for 4 years. I know it might not feel like it right now but things can get better and you will get through this. It is going to take time to heal but make yourself a priority. Reconnect with your old hobbies and really get to know yourself, don't rush it. You've got this!

End Stage alcoholism is far worse than the film depicts. Loss of bladder and bowel control, and worse - Wernicke's Encephalopathy (staggering and the losing one's ability to walk) and Korsakoff Psychosis (Neuropsychiatric dementia known as 'alcoholics dementia' - severe memory loss followed by psychosis). Just walking and thinking becomes impossible.

It’s a pretty unfortunate situation that he was in for a while. I disagree that he’s only been in bad movies for the last 20 years, there are good movies that he’s made but there’s also quite a lot of mediocre to outright bad ones as well. Basically he’s just awful with money. He lost a lot of money in the real estate crash, has had multiple divorces and had a compulsive spending habit that was almost impressive. His financial situation was pretty bad for years and because of that he took a lot of roles that he shouldn’t have. He also did too many movies for years. I think he was doing about 4 a year for a while and although that may not sound like a lot, that is just an unbelievably grueling schedule for an actor. Taking bad roles and doing too many of them starts a snowball effect that can be devastating for an actor’s career. Audiences start to associate Cage with bad movies, audiences stop going to his movies, he starts losing better roles, gets offered even worse roles than before and it just gets worse and worse. His career during the past two decades is basically a cautionary tale for other actors.
