I first saw this film in 1999. I was a pathetic college undergraduate back then, depressed, loveless and full of self-contempt. Watching the story of Ben and Sera was very painful. I couldn't stop thinking about this movie for a whole month. At that time, I thought I wanted to drink myself to death, just like him... but I came to realize I just wanted my own Sera, my own angel eyes... Nicholas Cage totally deserved his Oscar. I don't understand what happened to him after this. Since then, we never got to see him deliver anything as magnificent as Ben Sanderson again. Elizabeth Sue should have won the Academy Award too. My heart still stops when I look at her, even now, at her 54 years old, because I will always see the Sera within her. I normally hate this kind of music, but Sting totally nailed it. This song and My One and Only Love are utterly heartbreaking, specially in the context of the movie. And I don't care that the IMDb rating is only 7.6, this will always be my favorite movie. Thank you, Mike Figgis!
@@familiesturm and Joseph Duncan Yes and no. I did find someone who loves me, but eventually came to realize that there are no Seras in this world. Women will only love you if you love yourself first. There's no way around that. If Ben Sanderson was real, women would be viscerally repulsed by his alcoholic drama and suicidal tendencies. Not even Sera would want him. Maybe that's the reason why so many people dislike this movie, it's very beautiful, but it doesn't match reality. That was a very hard pill to swallow for me. To realize there's no such thing as unconditional love. That you have to treat yourself as someone you care for in order to make others love you. This is something so critical that we should teach it to our boys and girls as soon as possible. Their happiness and fulfillment is contingent on it. That being said, I still think Leaving Las Vegas is one of the most beautiful movies ever made. It remains my favorite by far. And even though I know Sera doesn't exist, I am very grateful that John O'Brien, Mike Figgis and Elizabeth Shue have brought her to us. She remains one of the most beautiful dreams I ever had, even though she came from someone else's mind. All the best to you, guys!
It is one of those movies that makes you think and ponder. The love that Sera and Ben had was volatile but somehow it was pure. We can walk through life hoping to find just one person who accepts us as we are. A brilliant movie and soundtrack.
I fell in love with this movie recently after discovering it. I was really sad from watching it. It's very beautiful in its own way and reminds me of how I want to escape my own problems being here in NYC and drink away my sorrows far away from home. Las Vegas was one of these places. I also like the soundtrack which captures the essence of the movie along with the destructive paths of both characters. Watching leaving Las Vegas never gets old.
I think it is my fave movie ever, Sting is perfect on the soundtrack, haunting. I fucking hate that I love it though because the movie is so self-destructive and sad. I think anyone who has been through traumas in their life, we are a little scarred and different from others, suicidal. I've been through hell and had my innocence taken, my life was taken before I had a chance kind of. Anyway, I identify with Elizabeth's character so much and Ben also.
It's so sad too that the writer of this killed himself not long after the release. I'm guessing he probably based the character of "Ben" on himself. A very bittersweet movie that proved once and for all that Nicholas Cage is a terrific actor when given the right material
To me this is the greatest film ever made. The pathos of love in all its permutations is right here. Loving just because. Loving expecting nothing in return. Loving a dying stranger because there is some explainable magic in your soul. Add to this a sound track of music that is next to none. What a killer film! xo
This film captured the idea of love and put it under a glass bell. This is the concept that I have of true love: to love someone in a disinterested way. Both characters were two "useless people" ... two "waste of society" For this reason a true love was born between them. Unfortunately in the "real world" this happens in 1% of cases. When someone asks me what I mean by love, I say to see this film. Anyway Mike Figgins is a genius, I recommend you to see Mr. Jones with R.Gere, this is also an excellent film "of love"
Nancy, you moved me with your words about this film. Las Vegas, a town where just about anyone could find something fun to do, and on the flip side, desperation, loneliness loss, and death. I love it too, despite the sadness. I keep thinking if I never find the love of my life that I'll do what Cage's character did. I wonder how many people find the meaning in this film that you and I apparently have. I'm hoping I only find the fun there, as it would be a scary place to cash in all my chips...
Im really glad that all of those people here below me in the comment section loved this deeply personal masterpiece of a film & soundtrack as much as i did. And what a lasting impact this film has made on all of our lives in the years since its release.
I randomly watched this on tv many years ago now. It left me feeling so shook and hollow for days. What a film. One of the best movies out there. Nic Cage was just so excellent in it.
Sad and depressing movie but this will let you remember and want to watch again. Love every movie played by Cage. I have listened to this sound track for 20 years, been Sting fan for 27 years. I still love this song today very much.
Such a beautiful and sad movie with excellent heartwrenchingly authentic performances by Liz and Nick. Feel even more sad because John O'Brien died by suicide. May he rest in peace, he suffered so much in this life.
I saw this in the theater when it came out when I was 21 or so I have the DVD and soundtrack on.CD. I would love to see it on the big screen again now being 50, divorced and a bit of an alcohol addiction
There is nothing like a beautiful song sung well and that's exactly why I love Angel Eyes sung by Sting from Leaving Las Vegas. I could play this over and over and never get tired of it.
I lost one of my best friends in a car crash just before I discovered this movie. At the time it was my escape from the pain I felt and the soundtrack resonated throughout my empty mind. Music and emotion are the most powerful things on earth.
One of my fav. songs of all time... Unfortunately, I have WAY too many memories from the movie. The movie was way too close to home. I've been sober for almost 39 months now, and still love the song. Just can't watch the movie. Sting is one of the greatest artists of all time. He trancends his genre as if time stands still when he is singing. Magnificent!!! Even at 60, he is still much more talented than some of the newer "young guns" out there. GREAT!!!
Deux personnes aux despoires, deux rencontres improbables, et un seul amour ne les a pas sauvé, triste réalité. Par expérience, moi qui pensait que l'amour pouvait sauvé de cette différence. C'est tout simplement un beau film, avec cette triste réalité qu'on ne peut pas tout changer par amour..
Just Loved this film and as always Sting is outstanding.Lyrics are so Haunting and Beautiful with so much truth. 'scuse me while I disappear' have done that to many times into a Bottle.
Leaving Las Vegas is my favorite movie of all time. It's the only movie that I liked so much, I bought the movie, the soundtrack, and the book, as well. The book is by John O'Brien, and it's also very good. Even though it's true that most books are better than the movies based on them, it's not entirely true in this case. Even though the book is still very good, Cage and Figgis brought an added darkness to the movie that isn't as apparent in the book, although the book is dark, too, without question. A great read for anyone who felt the movie was special.
Have you ever had the feeling That the world's gone and left you behind Have you ever had the feeling That you're that close to losing your mind You look around each corner Hoping that she's there You try to play it cool perhaps Pretend that you don't care But it doesn't do a bit of good You got to seek till you find Are you never unwind Try to think That love is not around Still it's uncomfortably near My old heart Ain't gaining no ground Because my angel eyes ain't here Angel eyes That old devil sent They glow unbearably bright Need I say That my love's misspent Misspent with angel eyes tonight So drink up all you people Order anything you see Have fun you happy people The drink and the laugh's on me Pardon me But I gotta run The fact's uncomfortably clear Gotta find Who's now number one And why my angel eyes ain't here Tell me why my angel eyes ain't here Excusez moi my angel eyes ain't here Excuse me while I disappear
Angel Eyes 1946 composed by Matt Dennis and Lyrics by Earl Brent. I love the bowing on the double bass he did at the beginning of the song. His bass playing is awesome, I wish I could play this good. This song is extremely heartbreaking!! Amy Doyle my Angel Eyes were are tonight? Are happy with your new life?? I miss you everyday of my life, I need you!! Too late you are married now!! I am 🍻 drinking tonight thinking of you, and thinking about how my life didn't turn out the way it should have. I blame NO one for being a failure, but me
Great song captures the feelings and mood that Shue and Cage have for each other in the movie.. By far Cage's greatest performance and Shue was incredible as well. Makes you feel like your there in Vegas with them..
Adios a las Vegas, una de las mejores y más extraordinarias películas de todos los tiempos. El soundtrack y la historia, realmente tocaron lo más profundo de mis sentimientos. Como alguien comentó antes: UNA VERDADERA OBRA MAESTRA...=,)

jennifer Smith Thank you. It's even sadder to realise that the screenwriter (who pretty much is "Ben" from what I gathered), killed himself not long after the movie came out. Depression and Alcoholism are truly horrible things to contend with along with the inherently abject loneliness that can either come with it or be its root cause of it. I should know. (not that I'm an Alcoholic but I used to 'self medicate' with drugs i.e. abused the shit out of them and it made me 10 x worse). Happy New Year to you :)
gosh I saw this film as soon as it came out, I was going through difficult times and I remember myself crying my eyes out all the way to Tottenham Court Road underground station in London The depth of this story and the fantastic work from the actors, diretor, sound track wow,
@@afonsodeportugal This level of acting, is a form of "Possession", for lack of a better word.. A good example of this level, is the movie, "Bernie"...you will see Jack Black's "Possession"...spirit like..
Покидая Лас-Вегас Мне в жизни всё осточертело, Я предоставлен сам себе,никому до меня нет дела. И на душе моей стемнело. Я убегаю от себя По прошлому скорбя. Но от себя не убежишь, Порою жизнью ты своей не дорожишь. Тебе никто не открывает,хоть во все двери стучишь. У человека может болеть душа, И он её должен прятать от всех,как лицо мусульманки скрывает паранджа. Чтобы в неё не плюнули, Желаю каждому-чтобы только с близкими бутылку вина вы откупорили. Редкость в наше время-любовь как у Бена и Серы, Большенство людей по своей природе лицемеры. Так хочется найти ту,которую интересовало бы души моей самочувствие, И в глазах её увидеть сочувствие. Рассказать ей,возможно,про плохое предчувствие. Немногие вызывают доверие, Окружает духовная бижутерия, Запущен процесс самоуничтожения. Каждый в этом мире по-своему одинок. Многим некому положить на могилу венок. Не дай жизни из тебя выжить все соки, Ещё рано себя списывать со счетов,отправляться,как сломанный катер,в доки. Запомни-все поправимо,пока о тебе не напишут в некрологе. Что-то дельное посоветовать нам никто не заинтересован,мы сами себе должны быть педагоги. И нам ещё рано подводить финальные итоги. Вытащи себя из болота, Не вглядывайся в бездну-посмотри на неё в пол-оборота. Иди только вперёд,не смотри назад, И прошлым неудачам скажи-"Я не буду устраивать из вас хит-парад". Живи настоящим. И нам воздастся- Лучшей жизни у Бога просящим. Он даст воды людям под солнцем палящим. Дождь прольётся с неба. Богатый человек не тот,у кого много денег,а тот,кому есть с кем преломить кусок хлеба. Сложно себя не потерять в эпоху ширпотреба. Главное-не разменивай себя на пустяки. И находи для себя ориентиры-по жизни маяки.
@QAndJMovies2 When they told stories of real people who didn't have fun all the time... who suffered, who was in pain... who wanted to die... This movie is really sad... and Elizabeth Shue was grand.. I couldn't agree more with you
I don’t think there’s a song that so perfectly encapsulates and summarises the experience I have had with someone this last year. M, you were my angel eyes. You broke my heart....but you will never know. “Tell me why my angel eyes ain't here Excusez moi my angel eyes ain't here Excuse me while I disappear”
rainy Chicago morning looking out into the city from my apartment, fresh martini in my hand Nursing last night's events... Hypnotic, hunting, erotic and calming
I think this song is played in a few scenes. As example, I remember the scene in the dirty motel (where Cage breaks a cristal table) and I think there're fragments of the song in the night walking scenes. Anyway, the best thing I can say you: get the DVD and see the film again (a great one).
Best soundtrack, best Nicolas Cage movie (and that's saying something) and one hell of a book. The author killed himself 2 weeks after finding out his book was going to be made into a movie.
I first saw this film in 1999. I was a pathetic college undergraduate back then, depressed, loveless and full of self-contempt. Watching the story of Ben and Sera was very painful.

Sting is great. This movie was dark and beautiful.
Have you ever had the feeling
That the world's gone and left you behind
Have you ever had the feeling
That you're that close to losing your mind
You look around each corner
Hoping that she's there
You try to play it cool perhaps
Pretend that you don't care
But it doesn't do a bit of good
You got to seek till you find
Are you never unwind
Try to think
That love is not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My old heart
Ain't gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes
That old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say
That my love's misspent
Misspent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink and the laugh's on me
Pardon me
But I gotta run
The fact's uncomfortably clear
Gotta find
Who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Tell me why my angel eyes ain't here
Excusez moi my angel eyes ain't here
Excuse me while I disappear
Great Interpretation of the Song 👍
Angel Eyes 1946 composed by Matt Dennis and Lyrics by Earl Brent. I love the bowing on the double bass he did at the beginning of the song. His bass playing is awesome, I wish I could play this good.
This song is extremely heartbreaking!!
Amy Doyle my Angel Eyes were are tonight?
Are happy with your new life?? I miss you everyday of my life, I need you!! Too late you are married now!!
I am 🍻 drinking tonight thinking of you, and thinking about how my life didn't turn out the way it should have. I blame NO one for being a failure, but me
one of the greatest sound tracks ever!!! Haunting...my heart breaks every time i hear this...
Nicolas Cage rocked in this movie!!! He can be an actor of whatever quality, but in this movie was simply excellent.
This movie and song represent the dark side of love
Also the reality of many people's lives
Great song captures the feelings and mood that Shue and Cage have for each other in the movie.. By far Cage's greatest performance and Shue was incredible as well. Makes you feel like your there in Vegas with them..
Amazingly calm, yet sad...

"I'm a prickly pear" is forever etched in my memory.

Que pedazo de pelicula y que pedazos de temas los de Sting. Algo inolvidable.
i watched the movie yesterday and this song was really touching... and incredibly sad.
Best movie with the best soundtrack,,,an absolute masterpiece
I can totally relate to this comment! While I was wearing out this CD back in ‘96 I actually lived in Vegas that summer for work, so I was all kinds of immersed in this music, movie & vibe.
시간이 아무리 지나도 리얼 좋은곡!
this song and the whole damn movie.....just gets right to the core of emotions for me...in the 80s i thought sting sold out but.....he was just begining...:)
A palpable despair, that in the right setting, one can get a calming, nostalgic feeling, a Poetic lament of a lost love, from Summers ago...
a movie with lonely and lonely, but too beautiful music. Thank you for allowing me to listen to good music.
A good wine, this music, relax&chill.. The secret of long peaceful life.
One of the best movies ever and one of the best soundtracks too.
Beautiful!

That you're that close to losing your mind?
All the time. Every day that's why I drink myself to death, even though i have a Sera that loves me regardless

Leaving Las Vegas is the best movie I’ve ever seen. I might even buy the book one of these days, although I don’t have much time to read
The perfect soundtrack by Sting really brings it home, along with the seedy kind of noir filming. Absolutely love this movie.

Too bad they had a weird butt scene in jr
Sting on top form.
Love this track!! LOVE IT!!

The depth of this story and the fantastic work from the actors, diretor, sound track wow,
Everyone has rendered this bluesy ballad with romantic excellence - vocal and instrumental as well.
An awesome rendition!
"...five hundred dollars for a 93 Rolex Daytona?! All do it!" :-))))) Oh Ben, I love that.
What an OST. What a movie. Nickies best.,
True. He seems to be a completely different actor in that movie!

awesome and amazing tenderness 4 soul

Январь 2021 Шикарная песня к шикарному фильму ..безусловные два ОСКАРА !!!
Покидая Лас-Вегас
Мне в жизни всё осточертело,
Я предоставлен сам себе,никому до меня нет дела.
И на душе моей стемнело.
Я убегаю от себя
По прошлому скорбя.
Но от себя не убежишь,
Порою жизнью ты своей не дорожишь.
Тебе никто не открывает,хоть во все двери стучишь.
У человека может болеть душа,
И он её должен прятать от всех,как лицо мусульманки скрывает паранджа.
Чтобы в неё не плюнули,
Желаю каждому-чтобы только с близкими бутылку вина вы откупорили.
Редкость в наше время-любовь как у Бена и Серы,
Большенство людей по своей природе лицемеры.
Так хочется найти ту,которую интересовало бы души моей самочувствие,
И в глазах её увидеть сочувствие.
Рассказать ей,возможно,про плохое предчувствие.
Немногие вызывают доверие,
Окружает духовная бижутерия,
Запущен процесс самоуничтожения.
Каждый в этом мире по-своему одинок.
Многим некому положить на могилу венок.
Не дай жизни из тебя выжить все соки,
Ещё рано себя списывать со счетов,отправляться,как сломанный катер,в доки.
Запомни-все поправимо,пока о тебе не напишут в некрологе.
Что-то дельное посоветовать нам никто не заинтересован,мы сами себе должны быть педагоги.
И нам ещё рано подводить финальные итоги.
Вытащи себя из болота,
Не вглядывайся в бездну-посмотри на неё в пол-оборота.
Иди только вперёд,не смотри назад,
И прошлым неудачам скажи-"Я не буду устраивать из вас хит-парад".
Живи настоящим.
И нам воздастся-
Лучшей жизни у Бога просящим.
Он даст воды людям под солнцем палящим.
Дождь прольётся с неба.
Богатый человек не тот,у кого много денег,а тот,кому есть с кем преломить кусок хлеба.
Сложно себя не потерять в эпоху
ширпотреба.
Главное-не разменивай себя на пустяки.
И находи для себя ориентиры-по жизни маяки.
라스베가스를 떠나며 삽입곡으로 유명한 노래다 스팅노래는 깊이가 있고 음악성이 높다 감미롭고 이 영화 재밌게 봤었는데 다시 보고 싶어진다
@QAndJMovies2 When they told stories of real people who didn't have fun all the time... who suffered, who was in pain... who wanted to die... This movie is really sad... and Elizabeth Shue was grand.. I couldn't agree more with you
This movie is one of my favorites of all time. I feel nicholas through this whole film.
Um grande filme, a trilha sonora é maravilhosa. Mestre Sting.
raise the glass for this song.. cheers 😢
二十年了嗎？記得是跟一位已經失去聯繫的女性朋友一起去看的，之後還買了電影原聲CD。現在的老婆是不可能和我一起去看這樣的電影的...當然她也走不進我的內心。
I watched the film Leaving Las Vegas and kept on watching it coz I loved the music - much more than the story! It´s so great, so jazzy... wow!
speechless
i feel that this song was written for me
sting is the best he makes you unconsciously get in the song mode
Still would like to see again and again.wonderfull movie
Best movie ever, best sountrack and sweetest romance/tradgedy ever...
To me this is one of the most beautiful and dangerous song. I really avoid to listen it. My god that movie!
I don’t think there’s a song that so perfectly encapsulates and summarises the experience I have had with someone this last year. M, you were my angel eyes. You broke my heart....but you will never know.
“Tell me why my angel eyes ain't here
Excusez moi my angel eyes ain't here
Excuse me while I disappear”
Its probably my favorite movie and soudtrack ever.
I actually came here to look for this song 💜💜💜
tragically beautiful movie!
tremendous, the best cover ever, just perfect for this movie
die from hearing this song..a little at a time
its 4am... i sit here smoking my cigarette and sipping on my drink... the candle is flickering...I wish you well wherever you are...
rainy Chicago morning looking out into the city from my apartment, fresh martini in my hand Nursing last night's events... Hypnotic, hunting, erotic and calming
This is my kind of movie.
Maybe I shouldn't breath so much, Terri... HA HA!!!
favourite movie man .... and the song fits perfect
Great movie and ideal soundtrack. Really sad history
What people go through....
A drinkers video, good none the less. poetic in its ability to solicit emotion from the view, sad and inspiring.
I think this song is played in a few scenes. As example, I remember the scene in the dirty motel (where Cage breaks a cristal table) and I think there're fragments of the song in the night walking scenes. Anyway, the best thing I can say you: get the DVD and see the film again (a great one).
Just out there in August and these themes hit me!
This song is amazing...and so is the movie.
Love that atmosphere.
Great movie! Very deep song...
Best soundtrack, best Nicolas Cage movie (and that's saying something) and one hell of a book. The author killed himself 2 weeks after finding out his book was going to be made into a movie.
Very good Mr. Sting, so good I won't even mention the definitive Sinatra rendition,, ops there I just did.
One of my all time favorite books/movie
이 밤에 들으면 좋은 감성 노래 ㅋㅋ
pedazo de pelicula¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡cuantas veces la habré visto¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ "todo esto me trae sin cuidado"..........
My Angel has gone missing 🥺🥺🥺🥺🌷🌸😇💕
