Ginger drives home one morning and deliberately crashes her car into Sam’s Mercedes several times she drives over the lawn and threatens to crash through the living room, she curses loudly at Sam, and then she throws parts of a plant at Sam’s face.She hits Sam when he kicks her out of the house and tells her to pack her bags.

One night when she alone with her daughter Amy (who looks about eight year old), Ginger ties the child to the bed post and locks the door.When Sam pulls the phone away, Ginger turns around and hits him while screaming, “I hate your guts!” Sam overhears Ginger on the phone, and she says she wishes Sam was killed.With that, Ginger often acts violently toward her husband, and she is abusive and neglectful to their child. She frequently lies to Sam about her whereabouts. All the while, she is drinking frequently, doing drugs and stealing her husband’s prescription medication, and it is implied that she may also have a mental illness. However, from the start of their marriage, Ginger goes behind Sam’s back and speaks to her abusive ex-boyfriend, eventually giving him tens of thousands of dollars of Sam’s money. Very reluctant at first, Ginger marries Sam after a lot of convincing, and Sam tells her he will always be able to take care of her. He truly seems to care deeply about Ginger. While the theme of the movie is about corruption, the relationship of the married couple is a major part. The movie is about a wealthy, skilled gambler-mobster named Sam ‘Ace’ Rothstein (Robert Dinero), who marries Ginger (Sharon Stone), a hustler who draws high-rollers to the casino. This movie primarily shows us examples of domestic violence toward men, but there are also instances toward women. The setting is Las Vegas, and the movie is based on a non-fiction book by the same name. In the United States, Nevada ranks first in domestic violence killings. Therefore, we decided to take a look at the 1995 Martin Scorsese film, Casino, to analyze its portrayal of domestic violence.
