A Happy Ending?

A Happy Ending?

Is that too much to ask? We sat down and watched a movie tonight. One that we had heard rave reviews about. It had won awards! We both had an interest in seeing it. All in all it was a great flick. But come on, what’s with movies never having happy endings anymore? We get to the middle of the movie and think. “NO, that can’t be! It can’t end that way! There’s going to be a happy ending. There has to be!”

Well the movie ended. It was really quite sad. I cried. I was mad! I wanted the bad guy to get their just deserts! And I wanted the good guy to be the one to give it to ‘em! That’s just the way its supposed to be! Isn’t it?

But alas, life isn’t fair. We don’t always get happy endings. The bad guy doesn’t get caught. And we just have to accept it. Do we want a happy ending in movies because we believe that’s the way it should be in life? For me, I’m always going to hold out that the good guy will win, that the bad guy will get what he deserves.

Oh, just in case you are wondering what movie we watched tonight.
It was Million Dollar Baby.
