…but not TOO happy.
I’ve noticed that the older I get, the more I enjoy movies with realistic endings.
When I was a kid, I loved simple “happily ever after” endings.
Now I appreciate endings that have partial resolution with a glimmer of hope.
Maybe this is because I’ve experienced more and realize that “happily ever after” endings are rare in real life. Thus, they are just not believable. Suspension of Disbelief just doesn’t cut it for me like it used to.
