13114698, Fictional relationships that (still) pull at your heart strings.
Posted by Somnus, Sat Jan-14-17 10:30 PM
The debacle of "a union" between Sam Rothsteine and Ginger still fuck with me til this day every time I watch that movie. The level of high functioning sucka-ish so masterfully illustrated/ portrayed by Scorsese/ Dinero is unparalleled.

You actually felt the desperation in Sam's attempts to change Ginger into something she could've never been.

Add on if you will.

I wonder why or how Big Shirley got so big. Earlier episodes showed a smaller Big Shirley who wasn't that big at all. She was just thick and could fit in the Pacer.

Was Melvin able to keep Jody on track and out of his and Juanita's house?

Did Juanita build a relationship with Melvin's kids, who according to Jody, hated Melvin?

Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia had this dysfunctional marriage that resonated with me in the movie "When a man Love a Woman". The movie's depiction her addiction and the family's adjustment to her sobriety was honest and very raw.
