just watched it again last night cuz it was on encore. still hurts my heart that deniro didn't just go straight to the airport at the end.
Me too. Those final scenes are hard to watch, when he sees Edie for a second and disappears when he realizes it's over, he hesitated for just that one second, and that may be why he ended up where he did.
'You know I don't know what you're doing, remember what Jimmy said on the yard, you wanna make moves on the street, don't have any attachment you aren't willing to walk away from in 30 seconds if you see the heat around the corner'
'For me... the sun rises and sets with her'
De Niro knew the feeling by the end of the movie.
