...or are you tired of happy endings in movies too?
The classic example would be Mission Impossible 2. Basically, Tom Cruise and an associate save Australia from complete eradication from a mega-virus while an evil corporate man was going to get rich off it all. It happens again and again. The list of movies goes on and doesn't need to be mentioned here. Now, what I want to see is something BAD. Like, Tom Cruise DIES, the associate kills herself, and the virus not only kills off Australia even before the antidote can be administered, but spreads to Asia and South America, and ends up killing about 75% of the world. Or in WarGames, the countries actually do start a thermonuclear war and kill off all of North America and Russia, while Europe turns into a nuclear battleground/wasteland as Central Europe gets overrun, NATO loses Western Europe, but it gets nuked to prevent any further expansion. Or in Deep Impact, they fuck up somehow and the world is destroyed. GG. Am I just morbid, or tired of the same thing?

There was a movie made in the mid 80's or late 80's called Miracle Mile. I love that film. It has all your darkness and morbitity you want with it.

There's a ton of movies without happy endings out there. They definitely have a hard time reaching mainstream audiences, though.
Reservoir Dogs Leon (The Professional) Se7en Those are a few off the top of my head. Unfortunately, there are lots of movies with happy endings that only got that way after studios flinched on the original endings after test audiences hated them. Army of Darkness (although I love the new ending) and 28 Days Later spring immediately to mind, but thanks to DVD we can actually see the original endings now. |

I always thought disney movies (especcially the straight to TV ones) have the happiest /worst endings.
in one of them theres the abandoned hotel and some little girl checks it out the "spirits" are set free, the 2 rival ghosts are friends, they re open the hotel, and she gets like a million dollars. watch the first 20 minutes of any disney movie and I can predict how it ends. |

I don't want tragedy, I want the Apocalypse.
La Femme Nikita owned, and had a tragic ending.

Yeah, I'd like to see more sad endings or endings where the hero dies, or fail thier mission, etc. Gladiator was cool, he died and didn't get the girl to live happily ever after. Titanic is another that comes to mind...the ship sinks...oh wait a minute, the guy gets the girl, then dies. Seems like Hollywierd is afraid to have sad endings, yet if done right, it can be big money maker. Edit: Just remembered a good movie where they lost the battle and everyone dies save one..The Last Samurai Last edited by Red October; 2004-06-16 at 02:12 PM. |
