Don’t you just hate it, when you spend the extent of an entire film totally engaged and interested in it’s plot, as well as becoming increasingly attached to it’s central charector or charectors, and then at the end, usually within the last five to ten minutes, the film just punches you straight in the heart? You recieve from it a feeling deep in your stomach and (depending on who you are and just how attached you were) you want to cry? I don’t get this very often at all, but when I do, it really hurts. I have recently saw Nights of Cabiria (the first Fellini film i sincerely loved) and it did this exact thing to me. I just knew something was wrong when I started noticing that awkward look on his face when she was talking alot and he wasn’t saying much back. And then it happened. I was crestfallen. I loved the film, it was very beautiful, but the ending got me.
The only thing thats had that much of a profound effect on me in recent history is the ending of the book Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway…Though, that’s sort of off topic and out of place here.
How about yourselves? Please share if you’ve had this sort of experiance before over a film.
