Endings so often ruin the book or movie for me. I hate when it's wrapped up in a predictable or cheesy way, but I also hate the current fad of just randomly ending books or novels in any old place (example -- Broken Flowers, a movie I abhorred). If a book or movie gets an ending right (American Beauty! PERFECT) then I'll love it for that reason alone, even if it's not that great otherwise.Deweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00395712971920800717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-86401030793267257872007-05-25T07:55:00.000-05:002007-05-25T07:55:00.000-05:00I need endings where there is resolution at least ...I need endings where there is resolution at least to some extent. And, like you, there needs to be some hope. Because life can, to quote Buffy, "on occasion suck beyond the telling of it." You have to have at least some hope that through your efforts and your support system, some day, some way, it will get better.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08394936927965812106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-55242452466782764912007-05-24T15:33:00.000-05:002007-05-24T15:33:00.000-05:00I like an ending where you know the character's in...I like an ending where you know the character's in a good place. Where you know that there's good times ahead, but tough times too. And always hope.<BR/><BR/>Those endings are the ones that feel real.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15192628745431017199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-70099336384032693972007-05-24T13:06:00.000-05:002007-05-24T13:06:00.000-05:00I like it when everything is resolved, it doesn't ...I like it when everything is resolved, it doesn't have to be happily resolved. Now if there's a sequel or something then there can be loose ends. Endings that make you think are good too. Endings that are barfy perfect I'm not a fan of either.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03576466409404249482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-25097607177790414252007-05-24T12:34:00.000-05:002007-05-24T12:34:00.000-05:00My gut reaction is happily ever after endings are ...My gut reaction is happily ever after endings are the best, but after some thought, I think I'm with you: I can handle uncertainty as long as there is hope.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00217383813263874657noreply@blogger.com
