Happy endings

A story about an heterosexual man falling for an homosexual woman. If anything, it is unpredictable; the characters are not what you expect them to be, they're not as hollywoodesc as they are real. It makes an interesting point on homosexuality: it's rare enough to find the right person, someone who's everything you've ever wanted, why should you still impose limits of gender on that right person?
On the negative side, they yell SO much, and her voice might irritate some sensitive souls...
No happy ending. 7.3/10

The 3rd best musical I've ever seen. The typical couple-in-love-bad-man-trying-to-separate-them story taken to the extreme both visually and musically. It's a feast to the eyes, just superb, and the soundtrack is one of the best ever.
Ewan McGregor is almost at his best (and the man can sing!) and Nicole Kidman is... stunning! I've never seen her more beautiful.
No happy ending. 8.2/10

This is one of those movies. Those Before the Sunrise's of the world. Brilliant. The best original soundtrack I've seen in a film, strong, yet simple performances, a good story...what more do you want? An happy ending. Not in this one though, this is a story about love, strong but (and?) unfulfilled love.
"What's the Czech for "Do you love him"?"
No happy ending. 8.5/10

I guess life is not a movie. There's no "everything will be ok" and no "lived happily ever after". In the end, it's not who you love that matters, it's how. It's the attitude you take life with.

Happy endings only depend on where you choose to stop your story.
