I liked most of the movie fine but...

START OF PLOT SPOILER (skip the rest of this post if you plan to watch the movie)

I’m not reconciled to the deaths of little children (or adults or even old persons). The ending depressed me. I don’t want to be taught lessons about life. I want to be distracted from its miseries.

So the protagonist and the young woman get together in the end, and he inherits two billion dollars. Whoppee-doo! Think of all the good he can do with it. Well, I for one don’t give a damn, not as long as there are little girls like Emily whose deaths can’t be prevented.

All that movie did is remind me of the inescapable tragedies of life. I prefer to learn the bad things about life from books, where the effects are less emotional. Otherwise I’d rather be distracted from them. From movies I want escapism — and happy endings, however unrealistic.

END OF PLOT SPOILER

great thing there are various kinds of movies then :)

some people want to be inspired and learn and accept no one lives forever and bad things happen to good people...

and some people want to avoid reality.

I used to have huge fear of death, then things happened that changed my beliefs and now I see clearer. Life is not just to enjoy but to use my time wisely while here.

another good movie is Clancy
