Closer (1/8) Movie CLIP - I'm Not a Thief (2004) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Alice (Natalie Portman) knows that Anna (Julia Roberts) just kissed her boyfriend.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Patrick Marber's acclaimed stage drama about the romantic interactions of four people has been given a reverent screen adaptation by director and producer Mike Nichols. Dan (Jude Law) is a writer in London who wants to finish a novel, but in the meantime supports himself by writing obituaries. One day he chances upon Alice (Natalie Portman), a beautiful young American expatriate, working as a stripper, when he sees her get hit by a car. Alice immediately falls for Dan, and gives him her love without reservation. Dan is initially enchanted with Alice, and returns her affection, but while she inspires him to write his novel (based on her life), her neediness begins to wear on him. Anna (Julia Roberts) is a photographer who is hired to take a portrait of Dan for the dust jacket of his book; Dan is attracted to her easy confidence, and while the two of them flirt, Anna soon (inadvertently through Dan's playful machinations) meets Larry (Clive Owen), a dermatologist, and marries him. Dan can't get Anna out of his mind even though she's married, and the two become lovers, but Dan is frustrated by the fact that Anna is reluctant to leave Larry for him. Patrick Marber wrote the screenplay for this adaptation of Closer; it was the playwright's first feature-film credit.

I love how Anna stroked Alice's hair and we can tell what she's thinking ("How can be someone as beautiful as she is being cheated?"). And at the same time, Alice knows that...

[fancyface]

This is one of the few scenes Alice truly lets her guard down...

[arontamas]

I love about how unapologetic her character is and still not come off as rude. She knows how to deal with the people and she's always the smartest in the room.

[lovedichoreo]

Themes: Infidelity, dysfunction, inability to be your authentic selves, people living as their masked selves, suppressed feelings, emotions and desires, inappropriate jealousy and fear surrounding infidelity within marriage and the other couple involved in the love square

[RE-pzkr]

The writing in this is unbearably brilliant

[thatone]

how iconic are both actresses... :) so different but both in the same movie, and still they are the perfect choice for those roles.. :)

[RollingOrmond]

Not a good first-date movie (learned that the hard way).

[SACERDOTISAIRENE]

So Alice (or Jane) already knew something was going on between Dan and Anna but the security and safety he brought to her didn't let her leave him for 4 years... Even tho she came across as a pretty independent woman. And maybe she didn't fully understood the lenght of Anna and Dan's relationship until he confessed but she always knew they were involved. She wasn't stupid or naive. She was just really in love with him.

[haroldlipschitz]

The close up of teary Alice is incredible when she says 'take my picture' - the camera wants the audience to fall in love with her, and succeeds

[jorgesalazar]

Love this movie. And both Natalie and Clive were stunning.

[paigeturner]

Amazing heartbreaking movie. The acting is stunning and raw.

[quenosoyjuliana]

Are you for real? This is one of the best movies I have ever watched.

[samsong]

There is so much soul in Julia Robert's eyes. Such a great actress.

[JB]

Besides Black Swan, this was probably the sexiest Natalie Portman has ever been in a movie

[JMac]

Anna appears to be a very rigid reserved & slightly timid individual. I don't think she ever had a real interest in Dan. I don't think she was ever in love with him even though she claimed to be. I think she cared about Dan like one would a wounded animal. I think her timidness is why she never completely cut ties with Dan. She's never really honest with herself nor with Dan & Larry. When she is honest she becomes apologetic about it. Anna seems to allow her guilt to dictate her actions. A good example is when she leaves Larry. Also even if Anna & Dan had managed to be together it would've been a good relationship, let alone long lasting

[tejasjoshi]

Natalie Portman looks like an angel after saying .. just take my picture

[GigiCorrado]

Love this movie...saw it in the movie theater, and recently bought it on Blue Ray! I love Natalie and my heart hurt for her. Julia Roberts was so complicated . Couldn't stand her.The twist on the end blew me away!

[mkg]

I love this movie, and I'm a fan of Natalie Portman, so maybe I'm biased, but I liked the film. I saw it in theaters when it first came out, and it did take me a couple times to understand it. I don't think the movie it suppose to have one meaning in the film. I think its left up to the audience to interpret it how they want to especially at the ending of the film. Love and relationships are complex, so I think the movie was trying to capture that.

[eveyryder]

This movie stole my heart at a young age.

[badgalpandamanda]

This will forever be my favorite movie
