Mr. Stanton was one of a kind, and like the Mona Lisa in the aforementioned review, I expect Stanton's legend to swell to enormous heights in the years to come, as "Lucky" becomes the icing on the cake of "Paris, Texas" in this beloved man's contribution to engaging cinema.
And in his character's last line lies the subtle potential that undoes his character's own nihilism: nothingness + 1 smile = 1 smile. How many of us can smile at perveived fate? Many. Perhaps an infinity of us. 0 is as far from 1 as infinity. 0 vs infinity; darkness vs light. Interesting situation.
