“When you love someone, you 've gotta trust them. There 's no other way. You 've got to give them the key to everything that 's yours. Otherwise, what 's the point? And for a while, I believed, that 's the kind of love I had” (Casino). Casino centers on Sam ‘Ace’ Rothstein, a gambler of legendary skill who is sent by the mob in the early 1970s to Las Vegas to manage its newly acquired Tangiers Hotel and Casino. Ace is an outsider among outsiders: a dispassionate, calculating, almost pitifully tender civilian among thugs. He’s a Jewish bookie sent by the mob to manage a Vegas casino and embezzle cash for the crime bosses back home. Even when he dons a flamboyant suit and runs patrol around the felt tables of his amoral arena, he looks unsatisfied. …show more content…
This brings to the table duality in the film as a major component of the psychological make-up of the characters, as each of the major players has a “darker” version of themselves. Ginger is an analogy of Las Vegas. She’s beautiful on the outside, but tormented and corrupt on the inside. Like the tourists who come to Las Vegas, she’s attracted to the opportunities that await her. When she meets Sam, she sees this as her perfect opportunity to forget about the hardships and financial struggles that she had to endure on the outside. With Sam, he’s entranced by Ginger’s beauty and spirit—she’s a woman who knows what she wants and in a way, is very reminiscent of himself. However, he is so consumed by this notion of romantic love that he fails to realize that these feelings are not shared. She cannot give him what he wants. He is a jealous man who feels the need to control everything that she does. It is partially due to this that leads Ginger spiraling down a path of self-destruction when she gets heavily involved with drugs and alcohol. Tired of his wife 's alcoholism, Sam seeks a divorce from Ginger. However, she 's insistent on getting her share of their wealth, which makes Ace reconsider the divorce. Whereas Ginger suffers from an actual addiction, Sam’s addiction is Ginger. She is his own personal drug. …show more content…
All that the audience can hear at first are muffled indiscernible murmurs as it drifts through the bedroom creeping up on Sam in the dead of night. One can make two inferences immediately based on the voice of the person on the phone and that person’s tone; one, that it is indeed Ginger, and two, that whatever she is saying and whoever she is speaking to, it was never meant for Sam’s ears. Ginger’s phone conversation is hard to make-out, and yet becomes a bit more audible as certain words and phrases (“I can’t take it, why should I take it?”) start to emerge. Sam silently opens the door to the room Ginger is in. As he stealthily walks closer, the words, “Yes I want him killed” are heard as the camera cuts over to Ginger; when Sam knows and is able to confirm what Ginger is plotting against him, the attention shifts to her. As Ace confronts her, the camera changes to a high angle that makes Ace look huge and Ginger small and almost child-like, showing their place in their relationship. Ace has power over Ginger, whereas Ginger is powerless. Does Sam proceed to drag Ginger across the bedroom when he slams her against the wall of the closet, as they argue, Sam tells Ginger, “You never even loved me in the first place” while Ginger yells “Love you? How could I love you? You treat me like I’m your dog!” We as the audience have followed Sam up to this point and now must watch as he

The hair she had turned gray and looked like dry straw she had no smile on her pictures she was always unhappy. The pictures helped me understand how this situation had effected her in a way that was not seen in the journals. The features of Ginger Scott came alive through this and although I did not use the actual features of my friends mother and instead of copying the story I used what I found to create one that could apply to most households in the world. Although observing the private journals and pictures of my friends mother helped me get a big picture of what one person went through and how they dealt with a suicide in the family I decided look at it in a different way.
Harry, a middle-class addict who is constantly affecting the trust and property of his mother Sara Goldfarb, is in what seems to be a dream-like, drug-induced romance with Marion. The novel begins with Harry taking his mothers television set, this being a monthly routine, to pawn it for drug money. Harry, Marion, and Tyrone C. Love share one of the same dreams as Tyrone states in the novel: "We could double our money. Easy We wont get stung out and blow it. We/d be cool and take care a business and in no time we/d get a pound of pure and jest sit back and count the bread" (9). Their ambitions are simple, obtain a "pound of pure", a significant amount of heroin, and sell it, save the money without blowing it on their own needs, and eventually be well off in the business. Each character has a different plan for their money. Harry and Sara to start a small coffee shop, and Tyrone to get established in "the business". The "pound of pure" later in the story becomes a metaphor for their dream, or a general concept of their ideal happiness. All four characters including Sara are looking to obtain a "pure" degree of happiness. And each in their own way will go to great lengths to obtain it.
