Closer is a 2004 American romantic drama film written by Patrick Marber, based on his award-winning 1997 play of the same name. The movie was produced and directed by Mike Nichols and stars Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen. The film, like the play on which it is based, has been seen by some as a modern and tragic version of Mozart's opera Così fan tutte, with references to that opera in both the plot and the soundtrack. Owen starred in the play as Dan, the role assumed by Law in the film.
The film was recognized with a number of awards and nominations, including Oscar nominations and Golden Globe wins for both Portman and Owen for their performances in supporting roles.
In the opening scene, twenty-four-year-old Alice Ayres and Dan Woolf see each other for the first time from opposite sides of a street as they are walking toward each other among many other rush hour pedestrians. Alice is a young American stripper who just arrived in London, and Dan is an unsuccessful British author who is on his way to work where he writes obituaries for a newspaper. Alice looks in the wrong direction as she crosses the street and is hit by a taxi cab right in front of Dan's eyes. After he rushes to her side she smiles to him and says, "Hello, stranger." He takes her to the hospital where Alice is treated and released. Afterward, on the way to his office, they stop by Postman's Park, the same park that he and his father visited after his mother's death. Pausing in front of the office before he leaves her and goes to work, he reminds her that traffic in England tends to come on from the right, and on impulse, he asks her for her name. They soon become lovers.

Keywords: wheelchairCloser...so close baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah
There we were, tenth grade in the hallways
I must admit you were the finest thing in all ways
Every day I used to walk you to class, do you remember that?
We used to make each other laugh and had each others back
We had the same birthdays and shared the same dreams
You used to love when I treated you for ice cream
Saturdays, we would meet up at the movies
It was you, your little sister, and your home girl Lucy
I used to trip when you would always be with me
Cause your mom would get mad when I would send you home with hickies
And if she ever caught me around the house
You’d be grounded for a month without a phone to call out
Now, thats okay, we would meet up at the benches
See it was all good when I didn’t have detention
And if I didn’t mention we were friends from the start
There was nothing in the way that ever keep us apart
Closer and closer, after all this time (so close baby)
You’re still in my life (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And over and over, your love stays on my mind (you’re on my mind girl)
The memory of you still shines
I wont forget the day when you went off to college
You had big dreams and you were out to seek the knowledge
I had a record deal, we started doing shows
And you wouldn’t even trip when girls would pull on my clothes
We saved our money and bought a house up out the neighborhood
And now we’re happy here together and it’s all good
Inbetween the sheets covered up real close
And making love is what you love doing real most
You said you wanted one kid, I said I wanted two
A boy and girl, and that would equal me and you
Sharing dreams while caught up in this moonlight
I never argued and never once caused a fight
Respect was the main key to our relation
Going on trips and spending three week vacations
We lived it up like real lovers were supposed to do
Now come here lady, I wanna get close to you
Closer and closer, after all this time (so close baby)
You’re still in my life (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And over and over, your love stays on my mind (you’re on my mind girl)
The memory of you still shines
It’s been a long twenty years now and we got plenty more
And ain’t no telling what the future has for us in store
A couple more kids or maybe even grandchildren
See little ODM’s growing up making millions
Making us proud while our name will live on forever
Same club, one mind, it’ll come together
Remaining strong, as strong as our familia
Mi amor, mi corazon, y mi vida
After all these years and after all these tears
The memory of you still shines
After all these years and after all these tears
