I was looking for the movie “Closer” for quite some time (alright, I admit it, I wanted to watch it again when I realize what the theme song is), when by a stroke of luck, I found the disc at a clearance sale. I first watched the show when it came out in the cinemas about four years back now.
I remember it is a show on cheating and betrayal, on possessiveness and bitterness. How two strangers happened to meet each other on the streets and then fell in love and got together. How a doctor, having been fooled by his cyber sex partner, went to meet the girl in question, only to find out it was not her who was online, but still fell in love and married her.
The show is a web of deceit, weaved by four people. The back cover of the disc reads, “Four beautiful people do ugly things to each other”. How true! The show is about the ugliness of man. That true beauty is not on the surface but on what you do and who you are.
And the song? It was played in the beginning of the movie, when Natalie Portman was at her slutty image, walking the streets, saw Jude Law and then got into an accident. Then it was played at the end when again she was walking the streets in another place, this time with a more demure and simple look.
Seems like the entire movie only has one song, and that song itself lends its essence to what the movie is about. Overall, a great movie in its own right, and the song makes it even more “artistic” as a film!
