Oh, jeesus i did not realize it was the SAME PLACE and now it hurts SO MUCH WORSE.
I have the Captain America: The First Avenger script book (nerd, nerd, such a nerd XD) and one thing I found really interesting is that, in the original script, the bar wasn’t destroyed. This whole scene between Steve and Peggy still takes place, but it’s just Steve back in the same bar, trying to get drunk (and failing).
Making it a bombed-out wreck was such a brilliant decision, though. As well as making this scene utterly devastating (there’s nothing that isn’t completely heart-stomping about Steve crying and alone in the bombed-out shell of a place he was once happy) it also underscores how thoroughly there’s no going back. His friend is gone, and even the bar isn’t there anymore. The wreckage of the bar is the wreckage of his LIFE.
Ahhhh I didn’t recognise it now everything hurts even more.
