Why does every movie insist on having a cheese-ball ending? The good guys always win, the guy and the girl get passed their fight and kiss, and the fat kid finally ends up being accepted by his peers. Fuck it, that's not what life is like. I know, a movie is emblazoned to make you forget about your problems, to lift you into a fantasy world and leave you feeling happy and care free, but just once I'd love to see the bad guys win. I'd love to see the guy pick the wrong girl, and I'd love to see the fat kid get tormented until the end of the movie. Boom, credits.
I suppose this is why I prefer documentaries. They sometimes try to give their story a happy ending, but it's a lot tougher when you're dealing with the real world.
I've seen some pretty fucked up and disturbing movies in my day and they didn't end like that. Take for instance the movie where there was a scene of Jesus Christ walking around in the desert high on peyote, wish i could remember the name. At one point he's weeping and stumbling around until he finds a hole in the ground that's leaking blood. So what does he do? He fucks it.
ReplyDeleteNo warm fuzzy feelings there. Just confusion and desperation and a deep desire to go to bed for the rest of my life.
bwahaha! That's how it ended? Yeah, I guess my problem is I don't watch messed up or heavy movies very often, mainly just comedies. But I hate investing an hour and a half of your life to something for a few laughs, just to end up rolling your eyes and feeling like you want to vomit by the end.
ReplyDeleteStrangely enough I love cheese ball sitcoms.
