I’ve found that I really like movies, books, tv shows…ect that do not have happy endings. I dont mean that they have to end tragically but I dont like it when everything works out just perfectly and everyone is happy when it is all said and done. I realized this the other day when I finished reading “The World of Normal Boys” by KM Soehnlen. I think I like these types of stories as they are more like real life, in that nothing ever works out perfectly and something is always going to happen to screw things up. I think this is also why I am such a fan of “Six Feet Under”, death is part of life, and even though it scares me I can not do anything to change that. The beginning of every episode almost always gets to me, including the show itself. I find that I tend to be a very emotional person and I tear up a lot when I watch or read shows/movies/books that follow these guidelines. Typically I dont mind going to see a movie by myself, but as much as I want to see “Brokeback Mountain” I will not go alone. Even though I dont know much about this movie I can sense that I am going to get extremely emotional when I watch it and I just dont feel like walking out of the theatre alone after I watch it. (Yet another reason I need friends…)
Is this normal that I like things that dont have happy endings because I feel like it is more like life? Who knows, but then again who cares, I dont know anyone here to share that information with anyway.
