From his perspective he's the hopeless drunk that everyone knows. He doesn't have a story, but it doesn't really matter. He has a chance at a career, love, nourishment, a free ride, a home, offers of help, friends who will loan him money, a nice car, a life in a city that people dream of, and none of it matters, or will ever matter to him above alcohol. A boozer is all he really is to anyone. The movie is just, almost comically, illustrating it as happens in real life with addiction.
From her perspective he couldn't be worse or make less sense. He cheats on her, drinks constantly, tells her and shows her he will never quit drinking despite it being catastrophic, can't have sex, is violent and an embarrassment in public, is not a protector, is really not a contributor or provider, isn't particularly funny, emotionally supportive, or loving in return, Despite him having no qualities that make him desirable as a partner, in fact almost entirely the opposite, and it making any sense from an outside perspective, she latches on and clings to him until death. |
