I think there are people who misunderstand this film. If it were only about lust and sex then the ending wouldn't be as moving and heartbreaking as it is. When she tells him "It's too late", when he finally begins to open up to her about himself and his feelings for her - it proves that it went beyond lust. It implies that if he had been open with her before, things might have been different. Elizabeth loves John but knows that the relationship is unhealthy and what it is costing her. John loved her as far as he was capable but realized it too late. He took things too far, and this coupled with his need for control and his fear of emotional intimacy drove her away. The last shot of him in the film (shot between bare walls, symbolizing how empty his life is), the utterly sad and defeated look on his face when he realizes that she isn't coming back, and the realization that he lost his chance at true love with her - is so touching, as is her walking away, crying, and briefly looking behind her. While Elizabeth is clearly heartbroken and even looks back once, she's out in the world, he's inside. I agree with the poster who said that John not going after Elizabeth showed that he really did love her, that he saw that it was her decision to make, and he respected that, even though he hoped she would change her mind and come back. Love stories don't always end happily, sometimes people love each other but are not good for each other. It took me a long time to discover this film, and I'm so glad I did.

There's no control in true love. Maintaining the same attitude till it's too late is a sign of weakness of character. Elizabeth saw through that.

This is a love story...a story of a woman learning to love herself and realize that she deserves more than toxicity. And it is difficult but neccessary for her to leavw him..because who knows if he's being honest in his declarations or not

When actors play a "bad" guy, the key is to play the character so that you have empathy for him. You may not like him but understand where he is coming from. Mickey played John really well. I feel more sad for John because in the end, the viewer, and John, realize how alone and emotionally closed off he is. But having been with Liz, he felt for the first time the difference between love and sex. Hence the reference about how he feels when he holds her in his arms. He can't explain it but he feels it. I think thats why the ending is so sad. He feels his love for her, the loss of her and losing control of the course of the relationship.

Yes, the framing of him in the last scenes is very telling. Those bare walls symbolize how empty his life is. She's devastated, but at least she's outside, around people, and she has connections to others. But he's alone, in more ways than one. Losing her just clarifies how isolated he is.

For Elizabeth leaving John was the hardest thing to do but it was also a smart choice. When their relationship began she became intoxicated by the freedom of it all and the intense passion he showed towards her. Eventually John realized too late how much he truly loved her and when she left his life changed forever.

John can never get over her and searches for her in everything he does. He's a broken depressed suicidal wreck playing Russian roulette with himself in the sequel as well as hiring blond hookers and calling them Elizabeth during sex and Elizabeth falls into another addiction and dies from a drug overdose.

One would think that if Elizabeth has the IMMENSE strength to walk away, then really...she can do anything. She can heal and grow from this. And be on another level of life. I believe that her saying goodbye was the start of this journey. And this strength of character is contrary to the storyline of ‘Another 9 1/2 weeks’ were Elizabeth is narrated to have died from a overdose. That’s just the narration of a nihilistic mindset that does not appreciate the journey of strength. The strength Elizabeth has shown here is the birth of many many more pure beautiful and joyous times ahead.

Aaaa Rourk's baby voice

Others may not know or disagree this is original "50 Shades". Adrian Lyne is a fantastic director. Love the use of Eurythmics "This City Never Sleeps" one best song. Marilyn Manson took "Sweet Dreams" to a whole new level. I still love Annie Lennox's voice too for "Sweet Dreams" A bit different from the book, but a damn good film holds up today.

This and the scene with the elderly painter (I never understood it’s inclusion when I first saw this as a kid but came to love it upon rewatching) are my favorites. Her journey mirrored Farnsworth - the contented lifestyle interrupted by discovery and celebration but then spiral into isolation, suffocating opulence and hedonism. Becoming numb and lost. One of my favorite lines from the book - and I’m paraphrasing here - is Elizabeth’s worry that having sustained a fevered passion for so long, would she ever again acclimate to being a more sustainable lukewarm again.

The way he said I love you after she closed the door.

I remember watching this movie on dvd with my gf at the time and the line that is still stuck with me from this movie is: Elizabeth: How did you know? How did you know I'd respond to you the way I have? John: I saw myself in you.

Sadly, the true story didn't romanticized the real relationship between the couple. In the book, they engaged into more hardcore BDSM behavior to the point where Mickey Rourke's character was literally more abusive toward Elizabeth (not her real name but a pen one). In the end, he left an unstable Elizabeth who had a breakdown at the front entrance of a hospital; thus, ending their affair. Sadly, no one ever really knew what became of him. However, Elizabeth became a published writer but obviously carried a lot of baggage because she committed suicide in her seventies.

Very similar to him back in the 80's born and raised in small town near Chicago (Algonquin) and worked in finance as well, parents were also very common nothing special. Its a profession with rich financial rewards but devoid of any emotional or personal satisfaction. All he was trying to do was test her to see if she really loved him. Thats how financial minds work completely analytical. In the end, he started to count to 50 to severe himself from the emotional pain. You don't see him crying andweeping like Elizebeth. Whoever wrote the screenplay knew the mentality of financial types all to well.

What may appear as "testing" in the movie is more likely him succumbing to his feeling of insecurity, making him act defensively, trying to distance himself from the perceived emotional threat- her - and hurting her in the process. There is nothing analytical in acting as if he wants to drive her away, the more he felt for her, the more so. Left curled on the bed, muttering "I love you" to the wall, he's the clear looser in this transaction, while she is walking out on the street shrugging off her tears, with no intention of ever looking back.

I would think he was counting to 50 so as to make it just another transaction in life. He could not bare the pain. His "I love you" as soon as the door shuts is what is really wrong with his life.

For the ones calling this a "love story" I just have to remind you that this is NOT a love story but a cautionary tale about leading with lust and sex. The entire thing is lopsided and it won't stand up without the support of friendship, mutual agreement, and commitment. The relationship won't last without all of the types of love. Friendship. Brotherly love. Commitment. If you are going somewhere then it won't work. If you are not friends it won't work. If you don't turn each other on sexually or if you can't stare lovingly into their eyes for hours at a time without wanting to look away, it won't work. All of those must be there or the relationship is not a love story. It was strictly sex for 9 1/2 weeks straight. That's all it was. No love story.

@@butter-fly16 I don't agree. A lot has been written about these feelings. The motels song 'total control', the book 50 shades of gray. There is something very powerful about an overwhelming physical attraction. I agree that it isn't the kind of Love you want in a relationship, or for life. But I think it's a very powerful experience to have. Ultimately it doesn't last unless the mind goes before the body - that's with anything - a life goal, your health, a relationship.... But the experience of a physical attraction so powerful that your mind feels weak and subordinate to your body, is something worth having, at least once in your life. It is definitely a kind of Love. A stranger once said to me ' if you haven't had the kind of relationship that ends in a way that you don't want to be friends with the other person, that you can't be friends with the other person, then you haven't felt love yet'. I didn't agree with him, because all my relationships at the time had been so wholesome, healthy and positive, I always stayed friends with my exes and they became my good friends over time. Then I had a relationship like this. Pure, powerful, physical attraction that simply subordinated me and taught me the power of a man. And I understood what that stranger meant. This movie encapsulated that experience. When the pain ends, and that powerful connection is ripped apart, you heal, and become a completely different person that is just more... Whole. So I would now say this is something everyone should experience. 🥂 Narcissistic abuse is non consensual. I suppose that's the distinction.

He was amazing. Wish he hadn't been on a path of self destruction. He doesn't even talk like this any more. He was softly spoken and had an air of vunerability. You could have been a contender Mickey,..

I always hoped they resolved their issues and got back together.

The original Christian Grey.

Extremly hard broken... When you love until your bones, but that person cant have emotional comitment and you have to go and let him/her go.. no more narratives can save the bond .... so sad when he says " i love you" in the vacumm of the space

Great movie he was so fu@@ handsome

“You know I have five brothers. I’m the youngest….”

Fun fact Kim Basinger was Paul Verehoven's first choice to play Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct. But when they offered the role to her she turned it down because she wasn't comfortable with the script.

I think she ultimately went back to him. Ending leaves it open to interpretation.

It’s about what we now call “coercive control’ and there are laws against this in Australia now. Only this year! 😘

Love this movie

The Mickey Rourke then and the Mickey Rourke now are two different people.

What I don't understand in this scene is why John shows himself as if he didn't care. She is crying, hurt. And when he is telling her things about his family he is even smiling and kind of laughing. I don't believe he did really love her. His attitude is not very understandable. It was like "ok, I want you to stay, but if you want to leave, it is fine with me, no problem". What do you think?

I saw that he had tears in his eyes as he was telling her about his family… I didn’t think he was being flippant.

He was crying. He didn't want her to leave and this was his last ditch effort to get her stay.

Why didn’t he go to her, why? Why are some men soo stupid and allow a beautiful, worthy & good woman slip away

The 27 thumbs down are two hands round their cocoa cups, one biscuit eating, instead of the whole pack, metooed sons of beaches. This is where E.L James found her inspiration. Love one another you beautiful bastards.

LMAO @ one biscuit instead of the whole pack!

I always thought why the hell he didn't stop her, why he let her leave. Now I understand he just gave up control and let her DO what SHE wants. He did what was the best for her.

I went to through this 25 years ago. since I met many girls some beautiful some intelligent, some were fun but something stooped 25 years ago.

Why did you leave ?

I bet Mickey Rourke can't bare himself to watch this movie today since he's not photogenic anymore. Still, he's a good actor.

Because sex is not the most important thing in a relationship. In fact, it should be the last thing. Their affair was nothing but kinky sex. There was very little caring on his side so she left.

Uma história de amor muito triste e melancólica sem direito a um final feliz.

Last Tango In Paris. . . . .she no longer cares.

I’m crying off of this clip alone. Never saw the movie. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I am still saying STAY even now...

Isn't just a part of every one's life in this scene??

A great momiin Cinema History. Ladies, we all have to make that choice.
