What kind of dude puts up with this?


How the hell could someone with a mind like DeNiro's character not see the Sharon Stone character for what she was?

Ever hear of love is blind?

this happens all the time.

reply

Because her beauty level was so above his he became hopelessly in love.

reply

Along with her beauty she was a great manipulator as well. Which is why she was such a successful hustler/hooker. It wasn't until the years of drugs and alcohol took their toll on her that she started getting sloppy, and Ace was finally able to see thru her.

reply

HE ENJOYS VAGINAS.

reply

Well, the movie is named CASINO, which takes place in LAS VEGAS, which is well known for LOWLIFES(Deniro's character) and HUSTLER's(Sharon Stone's character)

reply

She was gorgeous and she acted like a different person before they got married.

And Ace was a really stubborn guy, which we see in other scenes of the movie as well.

reply

No she was honest and upfront with him. He s to blame.

reply

It s a very old fashioned movie. It s also set in the past.

Men and women used to have different values than nowadays.

He s a nerdy underdog type. He sees her as his greatest conquer, the woman that every man wants and desires is his exclusive property.
He never sees her for what she is. She is what she is, and she tells him, warns him, begs him to understand it. But he believes that s his duty and right as her man.

Anybody in his right mind would never go for this, but he has this code for women that is just a recipe for disaster.
