I barely remember this movie except for the effect it had on me. At the end, I thought, "This is exactly the kind of ending good movies should have." It was not a bullshit "happy ending" a la Hollywood, and it wasn't a European downer. It was what I call a "hopeful ending." Like life - you just don't know what's going to happen, but you have to keep going, and there is usually a good, ambiguous reason to do it.
If I ever finish anything I write, I am going to have the feeling of this movie in mind as I finish it.
I hope the term "hopeful ending" (not in the sense of some soppy "everything is going to be alright" crap, but more in the sense of "everything might turn out OK, and it will be interesting to find out") catches on. I also hope more filmmakers will take note.
Thinking of this movie made me have a wave of nostalgia that can be devastating and motivating at the same time. Thanks for writers, cast and crew of this sadly underrated film.
