Proof of Life (2000)

I just watched Proof of Life.  The last 2 minutes, Terry looks on as Alice drives away.  He looks heartbroken, but he's letting her go.  Meanwhile, this song is playing and tearing my heart out.  Suddenly,  it hits me; Rob Pattinson, it's Van Morrison's original version of "I'll be Your Lover, Too".  It's so poignant.  I love Rob's version, but Van Morrison is the original.  Somehow...it makes the moment so bittersweet, and forlorn.

I feel like I want there to be a part two.

Of course, we all know there is no sequel.  Even the off-screen romance chilled.

The dialogue is mostly awful, but it has its moments.  The story is entertaining and I actually enjoyed the acting.

Sometimes old films I've seen, surprise me with a second viewing.

Just a random little side note.  As you head up out of Auburn, CA and up toward Donner Pass, there is a Fire Station up on the southern hill beside the freeway.  It's always reminded me of the ending helicopter shot from Proof of Life.  For this reason, it always made me a little sad as I would drive past
