I actually was enjoying this movie until the end. I thought it was just so unneeded and unnecessary for the plot. I guess they were trying to capture the emotions of the audience, didnt really work for me and actually kind of ruined the movie for me.
shareNo. Just the whole damn film. The entirety of this movie pissed me off so much, that I was overjoyed when he died and found myself cheering. I was laughing soooooo hard.

Well, as much as anyone may wish that there was a happy ending, or that his death had some meaning to the plot, but really, that's how it happens in real life. If you die trying to do good for someone else, like Trevor was, that's about as deep as it's going to get. One could extrapolate on that and suggest that it shows how much Trevor believed in the idea of helping people, but still, when it all comes down to it, dying in such a fashion isn't going to have that dramatic twist or irony that you guys may have been looking for. For me, it's better that way.
Reboot = Any movie made for the purpose of rejuvenating a seriesshare
Trevor dying in an act of 'paying it forward' just strengthened what he stood for, and touched the rest of the world, inspiring them to to good to others, and to look at Trevor as an iconic thinker. I really think that Trevor's death was profound, and put across his message to the rest of the world.
shareWorst downer ending in the history of motion pictures. Even "Night of the Living Dead" or "American Beauty" can't compare to it. Completely ruined the film, rendering the whole thing pointless.
The Falcon flies
Agree with the majority. The ending seemed so "hollow" and just didn't add anything to the story, but completely twist it around in attempt to get a few cheap tears.
Overall, this film was pretty good and did have a good meaning, but they tried way too hard!
I can understand the fact that everyone has an opinion on the ending, but to say that the ending was pointless and/or ruined the movie is crazy. The obvious point to killing him off is the memorial scene at the end. This scene clearly shows how many people that have been effected by this one kid. I feel like that just shows that if this one kid can change that many lives it should be an inspiration to us to strive and affect lives of the people around us.
Basically the ending proves that not only can people change lives, but that people will also recognize these life changing people.
The ending was stupid for so many reasons. It totally ruined the movie. The kid is going to die from one stab wound, when he's found immediately? No, I don't see why. Secondly, it makes him look stupid that he took that risk when he knew the other kid had a weapon. The issue is bullying. It's very real and does cause deaths, but using it as deus ex machina is ridiculous. Generous actions don't undo the wrongs of the world. Those wrongs -- violence, bullying, drug addiction, etc, have to be addressed directly. I would rather have heard more about what happened with Jerry. Killing the kid character just made no sense at all.

Life's a bitch.
"They sucked his brains out!"
The message I found from the boy's tragic end is that the most selfless act is the kind that isn't concerned about inconvenience--and it is free of fear, prejudice and intimidation. Trevor wasn't thinking about getting home late if he stopped to help. And he didn't let fear or anything else keep him from meeting the need of another person. Theme: Paying it forward is a selfless act.
