Movies Imitate Life

The other day I watched Message In A Bottle as I have several times before. As always, I was saddened at the end when Kevin Costner dies and Robin Wright Penn must live out the remainder of the movie pining for a love that was lost.

Now I love a happy ending and I was definitely not happy with this one. They say that art imitates life and life doesn't always go as desired. When I see a movie, I want the good guy to triumph and the bad guy to get his due; the poor to become rich and the rich to share with everyone; and--perhaps most importantly--the guy to get the girl and the girl to get the guy.

I live life everyday. I see a movie to renew my hope of an ideal world.
