Closer (2004) Review
One day as Dan (Jude Law) is walking down the streets of London, he watches as a young lady is struck (Natalie Portman) by a taxi as she crosses the street. Being the nice guy that he is - or at least wants her to perceive, he helps her to the hospital to get stitched up, where she tells him that her name is Alice. They walk together as Dan heads to work, and she finds out about his girlfriend, but Dan seems interested anyway.
Fast-forward a bit (in real life, not in the movie), and Dan is having his picture taken by Anna (Julia Roberts) for a book cover. The subject of his novel is none other than Alice, who has replaced his former girlfriend, and it turns out that about a year has elapsed. This will be a recurring theme. As their photo shoot winds up, Dan tells Anna that she is beautiful and he simply must have her. Unfortunately, Alice overhears the conversation. Woops.
