I'll Make Up My Own Happy Endings

I watched Age of Innocence tonight starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Danial Day Lewis. I really enjoyed it too, the back and forth between the two forbidden lovers... who though unbuttoning a glove could be so sensual...

Basically, Lewis is a lawyer who's falls deeply in-love with his fiance's cousin (Pfeiffer) after Pfeiffer leaves her husband because of infidelity.

However, the ending was soooo disappointing to me. As the last scene wrapped up, I found my mind drifted and created my own happy ending. I'm not one for rainbows and sunshine all the time and I don't need that in movies or books BUT to end it in such a way, clearly the director intended the viewer to ponder upon what happens next.

Basically, I would rather movies end in death, as in the death of all hope, life, etc. or for a movie to end in sunshine and rainbows. When a movie ends the way this one did, I scoff. That's my personal opinion.

It's an older film and if you haven't read the book or want to know the ending to this movie, PM me and I'll give you the details but I don't want to ruin it for any who may want to see it.

I've never seen it ~ I tend to avoid chick flicks, not because I don't like them, but because they make me sad. Its been my experience that there's no such thing as a happy ending.
