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

Yes, many of the responses to the movie were favorable (and I liked most of it myself). I just gave my reasons for not liking the ending.

>> “..and some people want to avoid reality.” <<

I’m an old guy and have seen plenty of reality, bad and good (both in my own experience and through others in non-fiction and fiction). I’m not someone who pretends that bad things don’t exist. I’m well aware of them, too well aware. What I want in my old age is — as much as possible — to enjoy the good aspects of reality and avoid the bad. I classify movies that make me feel sad among the bad.

If I must learn more about what’s bad, I prefer to do so through reading — in relatively abstract terms — not have it be re-created in fiction, for me to experience the emotions vicariously. In fiction I’d rather have something pleasant, or just enough of the more unpleasant aspects of life to make a happy ending more appreciated (something we can’t always control in real life but can in fiction).
