BTW - the quote "We all fall down," comes from Tony Scott's movie "Domino," a film loosely based on Domino Harvey's real-life story. And Domino's story is actually more layered, and complex, and interesting and tragic than the actual film. The real-life Domino died of an overdose before the film came out.
I recently saw Scott's movie after reading this amazing tribute by Kim Morgan. "Domino" the movie seems to me to be an instance of "style over substance," and Keira Knightly is sort of implausible in the lead role, but at the same time the style is so lush and over the top and flashy and cool, and Knightly is so charismatic and gloriously implausible, I think the movie works. Yes it works, even though it's sort of hyper and ridiculous too. And maybe Tony Scott really didn't get his due as a filmmaker and maybe Kim Morgan helps make the case.
And what a great closing line for the film. And yes, we do all fall down...
