1995 Movie.
Nicolas Cage won the
Best Actor Academy Award for his portrayal of
Ben Sanderson.
Elisabeth Shue played opposite him as an experienced yet soft
prostitute.
The
love story is unique in its foundation of acceptance. If there is one, (and indeed I believe there to be), the message of this movie is full acceptance of a lover's wishes. The two characters do not attempt to change each other, and though this is the final undoing of their relationship, it is refreshing to see such
loyalty.
