Sera's Love is Wal-Mart

I just got done watching Leaving Las Vegas, where Nick Cage plays a drunk and is currently living with and taken care by a hooker named Sera. Sera had promised that she would never ask Nick to stop drinking. But as they spent more time and grew to love, that promise changed. She asked him to see a doctor.
And right before she asked him that, I knew that blackmail was coming. I could see it. I could see it just how Wal-mart haters see it now. I would like to compare Sera's love to Wal-mart. So, I would like to begin by describing how the Wal works. They come into a society, a community..that nobody desperately wanted. The come in, lower their prices on all goods they provide aka undercutting their costs, so as to drive all local businesses out of business. All the town people are now used to buying that product for cheap and there are no more local stores that can provide healthy competition to those low costs. After, people are used to the Wal prices = addicted to the Wal's ways. And Boom! The Wal raises its prices. Now, the addicted town people have no where else to go to buy the product since all local businesses are gone. They cough up the money and pay up to buy the product. The Wal will take the financial loss initially just so they can have their way with the customers for the rest of life/time they are there in the community.
Sera played a very very similar card. Sera's love, aka Wal mart, took the initial loss by accepting the drunk Nick Cage into her life. She took care of him, bought him presents and most of all embraced his drunkeness. She showed that she loved him, just how the Wal showed its people that it loved by lowering its prices. Nick Cage didn't want her love, really or desperately; just how the town people didn't want the Wal. But when both came, both parties, as mentioned above, were happy to have them namely Sera's love and the Wal.
Who knew (some did!) that they would spin such magic that the people who welcomed them would eventually get consumed and become dependants of their "love".
Nick Cage, the drunk and now the dependant, would have face the "raise in prices" in the form of seeing a doctor since that was a request asked by Sera's love. He had no choice but to "cough up his money and pay up" in the form of going to see a doctor since that is what Sera's love requested.

Now, people who have seen Leaving Las Vegas, will realize that Nick Cage never went to see the doctor since the story changed before he had a chance..but this is a good example of what could have been. Just beware of getting sucked in!
