serious crayons:

--- Quote from: Ellemeno on May 10, 2006, 01:54:45 am ---When the movie was in the theaters and I was going every once in a while to see it, my husband and I had running (sad, not funny) joke.

Him: How was your movie?
Me:  I can't believe it - Ennis still blew it again THIS time.

I seriously think that one of the main reasons I kept wanting to see the movie so often was to give Ennis another chance to try it again and get it right this time.  Kind of like Groundhog Day.

--- End quote ---

That is EXACTLY RIGHT. I felt the same way when, on my third viewing, I got really nervous right before it started. My friend asked why. ME: I'm afraid the end will be sad. FRIEND: But you've seen it before! ME: Yes, but I'm hoping things will turn out different this time.

I was sadly joking, too. But there's a real subconscious desire there, however irrational. Especially because the movie starts on such a happy, potentially hopeful note. Then that damn post-divorce scene ...
