@@ma-saracen I tend to take the stance that it wasn’t a dream. Although there’s a lot suggesting that it was just a fantasy. We often want to share things with the people we love and idolize. One last drink with his father would have been a fitting goodbye

I felt much worse for his dad than him. The scene right before this where he tells his dad he will just take a bus, his dad is choking back tears trying to make excuses "well I NEED to go, so I know where to visit, come on, help me out here...". That part gutted me. His dad was a great man

Amazing movie. Whenever I used to do shots with my brother I’d say “one last whiskey with my boy, taste the barley let it linger” and we’d laugh at my horrible impression of his dad. This movie is on my top 10 of all time. Post 9/11 NYC was like a living, breathing character in this film, and this ending was unbelievable. It all came so close to never happening.

Spike Lee almost had me. While watching for the first time, I remembered the high color contrast flashbacks when he met Naturelle, in the beginning of the movie, but then he switched back to natural colors when they were leaving the bar. For a second I thought it was real. What an artistic genius!!! !!!!! Such a nice vision throughout the entire film. Treating time as one big illusion. This is pure film-making.

[@royroyston8480]

4:40. It's so difficult not to cry watching that scene. My Dad is the last person I have in this world. I wouldn't have the strength to do that. Powerful stuff.

An existential parable, in the most American sense... Captures the meaning of the 'aimless car journey', the peripatetic locus of so many anguished moods and midlife crises. Just get in the car and drive, drive and let the road absolve you of the error of your ways, let the road, and the sprawl, transform you into another anonymous, faceless thing with no real ties, and only a fleeting knowledge of the past.

This entire film moved me to tears. Monty had such great friends, such a great girl, and such a great father. They all would've stood by him during his 7 year stretch (probably less than 4 years with good behavior). I realize the end shows that his dad did NOT take a left off the GW bridge (and instead went straight, toward the prison) but Monty had no need to fear prison. He was tough and made friends easily. Prison isn't half as bad as those stupid reality shows try to pretend it is.
