The Ending

i know there is another post similiar to this one, about the impression the ending gave on the film.

but what i wondered other than the fact that Alice and her son, Tommy despite the reclaimed and unexpected love of ,that they would always have each other which drew over me. but i wanted to discuss whether or not, Alice found herself in a tight situation once again, where male character (her husband) dominants over her like what happened at the beginning of the film with possibilities of going down the same road she did as a singer, so she could prove she was a nobody (a major theme that it is apparent in Scorsese's movies). the fact that her life was a continous happily-ever-after and it was always fun while it lasted, with the impression, she had found the rainbow of dreams.
