If it had a sad or ambiguous ending it would still feel empty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495704823524122058.post-26960192401687114552010-12-15T11:02:48.706-06:002010-12-15T11:02:48.706-06:00I think we have a gut reaction to certain movies b...I think we have a gut reaction to certain movies because it is emotional, not logical...It either touches some part of our soul... secret longings, etc ...or it doesn't.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495704823524122058.post-50790749842413985942010-12-06T07:34:24.857-06:002010-12-06T07:34:24.857-06:00Good post.

Looks like we share a love for some of the same films, Before sunset and Say anything are 2 of my all-time favourites. <br /><br />But don't you think the ambiguous endings in these films mirror real life. At least that's what I like about them. I feel they are genuine emotions. The lazy rom-com's often leave me with a sense of listening to a screenwriter and not the character.<br /><br />I was talking to someone recently about "12 monkeys", how it's better than the formulaic action films bruce willis usually makes. <br />You could same the same for 2001: A Space O, intelligence/ambiguity vs. dumbed down sci-fi.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495704823524122058.post-11843052417863485642010-12-03T03:11:39.707-06:002010-12-03T03:11:39.707-06:00IMHO, happy endings in films are usually mediocre....IMHO, happy endings in films are usually mediocre.That Film Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08525992441514322658noreply@blogger.com
