Why is it that almost all the European movies that I watch end with someone dying? Take these movies for instances. By the way, they're all movies I recommended watching:
La Vita E Bella - father killed by a Nazi soldier
Irreversible - boyfriend dies horribly by his face being smashed
Monsieur Ibrahim - Ibrahim dies at his hometown after a car accident
Goodbye Lenin (my fave!) - mother dies due to illness
All About My Mother - son, friend dies due to accident and AIDS
Is liberation can only be gained through death? Is a rite of passage of an individual completed only when one dies? Are these the questions the moviemakers are trying to convey? Perhaps, I don't know for sure. But this I know: I want to see a happy ending. |
