Like the turn of another card. In a casino you start attributing meanings to wins and losses, but that's all crap. Coincidence is sentimentality. We are in a random universe, but it can be interesting. So what I regard as one of the most important aspects of this film was that it defy conventional arcs and structure.
Every scene can be an ending.
That was what I was looking for, in a more reserved, aesthetic but not arty way. I loved going to the casino. About two years ago, however, like Jack, I gave up casino gambling. The main thing is the ending. Think about the ending first, or you will never address the substance of it.
