A conversation few days ago lead me to watching Closer again.
This movie is good but I don't recommend you to watch if you're on a Valentines day mood because it will seriously wipe out any trace of happiness from your face.
The plot revolves around two couples played by the Natalie Portman, Jude Law, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen where everything is based on betrayal. It will reached a point where you feel the phrase "I love you" is so easily uttered that it means absolutely nothing.
The Paradise Suite scene is my favourite. Larry was desperately looking for a revenge sex in order to punish Dan(Jude Law) for sleeping with his wife(Julia). Alice refused his offer because she doesn't desire him yet she professionally flirts with him as a stripper. Larry paid Alice handsomely for her to tell him her real name but he got angry when Alice insisted her name is Jane.
At the end of the show the camera closes up at her passport and it was revealed that indeed her real name is Jane. Then, we knew that Alice/Jane had been telling the truth, perhaps the only one thing that we can be sure of throughout this entire show.
Sometimes when truth does not appease us, we rather much call the truth as a lie and thus create another lie in order to fill up the void that truth has left us with.
Sometimes..
