Actually, no, I think you have the right of it: they made up, told each other they miss each other, she gets in a cab, he catches up to her, whispers something to her in a crowded street (which is open to interpretation), and she cries and nods sadly. So in essence, you're right, but it's the not knowing which leaves me so frustrated, not knowing what he tells her, and knowing that they're separated anyways (if memory serves, she does leave after the crowded street scene). And when you're a sappy hopeless romantic like me, well... you still root for the kiss-and-stay-together-forever ending, even though you know it's not realistic.Aylaine said:
Which brings me back to the original topic... There are different types of people: the cynic who won't give a fig if the film/story/whatever ends happily, and the hopeless optimists (I count myself among them) who will keep hoping against hope for things to work out. (I'm oversimplifying here, I know) And it all comes down to your life experiences and how you've dealt with them. In my case, I know that I've seen a lot of bad stuff happen to good people, and I'd rather see happy endings than more tragedy. The cynic will have seen the same, but will figure that's how it's supposed to be, and will expect a bad ending. Or a sheltered person won't mind a little sadness in an ending. There are just so many variables, it's hard to dumb down to a simple equation.
But perhaps I'll stop here before I wax philosophical and bore you all to tears.
