They talk about Henry Miller and Harvey Keitel , two names that suggest you have advanced beyond life's training wheels. Gilio finds a motel for them with its own disco ball hanging from the ceiling, and as its twinkle disguises the shabbiness they make and pledge love, and then the next morning Mike is gone. If this couple is going to make it through the entire film, we realize, they are going to have to do it without using the usual cliches.
They meet again. Never mind how. Mike takes Didi to a diner for a meal, where a waitress named Ruthie Karin Anglin greets them with a strangely skewed attitude. Watch the way Gilio introduces mystery into the scene and then resolves it, getting humor out of both the mystery and the solution. The diner scene suggests strangeness deep in Mike's character: He doesn't need to go to Los Angeles since he stars in his own drama, and doubles back to be sure he hasn't lost his audience.
Mike and Didi try to burgle a house. Didi is whammed by a homeowner's baseball bat and ends up imprisoned in the Midwest School for Girls. Mike has a plan to spring her, which involves Ruthie making what is, under the circumstances, a truly selfless gesture she explains she doesn't want to "waste the time I put into you". Just as Mike never gets out of town, just as the plot doubles back to pick up first Didi and then Ruthie, so Emil Rich Komenich , the homeowner with the baseball bat, also is not abandoned.
It gathers them all up and takes them along. The movie contains genuine surprises, some delightful like the plan to spring Didi from the home and others involving loneliness, loss and desperation. I cannot say much more without revealing developments that are unexpected and yet deeply satisfying.
Poignancy comes into the movie from an unexpected source. Depths are revealed where we did not think to find them. The ending is like the last paragraph of a short story, redefining everything that went before. Henry Hamilton : How old are you? In real time?
Henry Hamilton : I'm Will Salas : Good for you. You won't see , you have too many more nights like tonight. Henry Hamilton : You are right. But the day comes when you've had enough. Your mind can be spent, even if your body's not. We want to die. We need to. Will Salas : That's your problem? You've been alive too long? You ever known anyone who's died? Henry Hamilton : For a few to be immortal, many must die.
Will Salas : What the hell is that supposed to mean? Henry Hamilton : You really don't know, do you? Everyone can't live forever. Where would we put them? Why do you think there are time zones? Why do you think taxes and prices go up the same day in the ghetto?
The cost of living keeps rising to make sure people keep dying. How else could there be men with a million years while most live day to day? But the truth is No one has to die before their time. If you had as much time as I have on that clock, what would you do with it?
Will Salas : I'd stop watching it. I can tell you one thing. If I had all that time, I sure as hell wouldn't waste it. Sign In. Play trailer Action Sci-Fi Thriller.
