The ending


I fell asleep and missed the last 20-25 minutes, could someone please tell me how it ended.

Why don't you just rent the film and watch it? Well, okay, Jamie goes to a party where his wife Amanda is and he had a breakdown where he is coughing up blood from laughing. He calls up the Tracy Pollan character and mentions his mother's passing, which he has been avoiding all this time. He then decides to leave the party and doesn't want anything more to do with Amanda and his drinking buddy. He trades his dark glasses for a loaf of bread because he's hungry and sitting on some dock, he realizes he has to turn his life around and face reality. It is a little hard to watch the end today due to seeing the Twin Towers, which are no longer there.

I don't recall seeing the Petronas towers in this movie. Maybe you were referring to some other building.

reply

He was referring the the NYC Twin Towers, a.k.a. the World Trade Center. This movie takes place in New York, not Malaysia.

The Twin Towers, you know, the ones that were destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001 by Osama Bin Laden and his followers. That's what I meant.

At the end of the movie he is in front of a beat up green building (now renovated and $4mil condos), just prior to buying the bread...that is the corner of Laight and Greenwich streets NYC...From google street view you can see where he then walks towards the water and buys the bread on the loading dock (Still there w/ the overhang and everything)70 Laight St, New York, NY ...follow that west to the water 2 blocks and that is where he ate the bread...I believe all of the piers he stood on/saw in line to the wtc have since been demolished...

It was even harder knowing that every time I drove in NYC and looked, no Twin Towers when saw it a lot before.

Well, when they filmed this the Twin Towers existed. After 9/11, they fell. Do some research on these buildings.

reply

Oh boy, you really didn't get the gist of my post.

I lived 20 miles outside NYC. I grew up with the WTC being in the Manhattan skyline, and would go into NYC every weekend for a couple of years (not to mention every other time I went there).

So believe me, I KNOW more about the Twin Towers, and how the events of 9/11 affected us than most. My comment was to point out that NYC was always missing something post-9/11, the WTC. It never looked the same again.

It's still so sad, so many years later. But when I see them in movies now, even just in the background of a scene, it's like seeing an old friend.

But worse is the trend just after 9/11, where movies would delete or change previously existing scenes to erase the towers.

He treated Allegash badly, left the party, trades his sunglasses for a loaf of bread and walked home.
