Closer (2004)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Mike Nichols
Starring: Clive Owen, Jude Law, Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman
Larry and Anna end up back together, although Anna looks really depressed in the last close up. Daniel and Alice seemingly are back together, until Alice dumps him in the last scenes. Alice did sleep with Larry, and Alice's real name is Jane. She returns to New York City, and walks down the street.

Suggested correction: No he's not.
Question: Is there a connection or special meaning when Dan asks 'Alice' during their last fight who she really is, and 'Alice' answers him "I'm nobody," and the fact that she is hiding her true identity as Jane Jones?
Answer: Anna says that Alice has "had quite a life" (after she read Dan's book that was based on Alice). Presumably Alice has been through difficult situations: abuse, neglect, etc. She considers herself a "nobody" and enjoys lying as a form of control. Which is why she never told Dan her real name, or everything about herself. She could never trust anybody completely. She also says "I'm the one who leaves." She prefers to leave men before they can leave her.
