I can relate

I'm quite surprised that viewers saw definitive end to the movie: I mean, was it all a dream or not? Up to the viewer to decide whether so. The beginning: "open your eyes David"; The ending: "open your eyes David". Same voice (Julie). So was it all a dream or what part wasn't? Anyway, I'm not here to discuss that.. but rather the club scene... David is drunk (needed to get to get up the courage to ask).. approaches Sophia with .. well demands definition from her. He fell in love with her at first sight, but now he questions (and rightfully so) if Sophia will/could/does love him in his present state (disfigured). And what if his money had gone away too? Did she just "love" him for his stature? Did she even know him? And who said it was love anyway? It was just a feeling, no one actually said it. Was Sophia just not allowing true love to be desecrated by David's drunkeness? Forget if it was all a dream or not, are these not the questions presented in this scene? I ask this because I lost her the same way. Something I'll never know (?) for sure. Can a man ever be visibly needy and still be loved? "I love you" "said" she, but did she actually "mean" it? Harder for a man with means to grapple with? Or harder for a man lacking a nice jaw? What if lacking both? Then what's left? (The non-Sophia-looking women perhaps?).
It's gonna be back on cable next month and I plan on watching it again. I'm not sure I like being in a movie though.
