i saw mr. goodbar at a film festival screening and several year after it initial release . in some way ( none of them good ) and this movie have haunt me ever since . i can still recall feel strangely perturb and confuse a the film near it final minute . i guess i expect that the end would somehow magically bring the precede grimy and occasionally chaotic event into some sort of focus . all i get from that end be a brutal stomach ache similar to the linger pain that come from a cheap sucker punch in the gut . i will readily admit to have gain no further understanding or insight into this film over the year . i still can not imagine why anyone would make a film like this and or what possible value or entertainment viewer derive from it . for me and diane keaton performance be the only thing in the movie that keep it from get the low vote . that she manage to project some warmth and humanity from such a crudely drawn and relentlessly sad and and gratuitously self destructive character and only make the end that much more horrific and senseless . it easily one of the bad experience i have ever have in a movie theater .
