A Crazy Post About Love

I once heard how "American" it is to have a happy ending. How childish and unrealistic it is to be truly happy at the end of an ordeal. I don't remember where I heard this--maybe it was a book. No, it was almost certainly a book, although I can't imagine what ethnicity the person who said it was.

I find this to be a very true statement. I can't stand Titanic because of it's tragic ending. I never cared for the current parts of that movie. Why distract from the story? Who cares about your god damned diamond?

Haha, I just heard Justin Timberlake yell "HOT DAYUM!"

Then, you have Disney, which changes the endings of their animated movies a lot.

I mean, even music has that. A couple of years ago Taylor Swift's "Love Story" changed the ending of Romeo & Juliet. And, honestly, I liked that idea better. Iconic couples deserve their happy ending. I mean, didn't Cinderella and Prince Charming get it? Many music videos, which are sad love songs, show the couple meeting again, and obviously rekindling their romance. Music breaks rules, too. But then again, it always has...

Then, going further, every redeeming couple, each paired set of kindred spirits deserve a life of happiness, but it so rarely happens. But, of course a happy ending is different to everybody. My personal idea would be a beautiful home, and easy, loving life, and a beautiful, talented family.

Now, some people would say a happy ending is just the couple, for the rest of their lives. And I totally respect that. Now, for some, they'd like to see people love and lose.

But they usually aren't American.
