The most stupidest message I've ever seen in a movie

I finally saw this movie with an open mind and I must say that I've never been so fooled by a movie as this one. What was this flick really about? Just to milk the cow and make money out of the Hannah franchise? It seemed like it, cause there wasn't really much of a story to tell and a actual message to convey.

Just to think about it: The tagline is "She's always had the best of both worlds. Now she has to choose just one". The film seemed to be about trying to make Miley re-connect with her Southern roots and that making her choose between her and Hannah (which is pretty much what happens in the end). But just as Miley seem to have decided which path to choose, she's still forced to be Hannah. And why? Just because to please her fans. As Vanessa Williams' character states the fact to the British journalist; "Hannah is all about dreams, do you wanna destroy your daughters dreams" or something like that. Wasn't this movie trying to convey the message of being true to your roots, to yourself and your family/friends? So why does it suddenly changes it message to the end?

And last, but not least: What kind of message is that to convey to children? That a celebrity is forced to live for their fans and not allowed to choose her/his own path? That hypocrisy is good? That is okay to lie and hide the truth about who you really are? Those are the most stupidest messages that I've ever seen.

I fully agree with the buzz surrounding the vaguely executed ending. Some people try to defend it, but let's be realistic here; It's not as is horrible, but it does come across as quite contradicting and sparse, due to it trying to stress the moral of sincerity and honesty. It's really contradicting that Miley sings a song about struggles and hope, yet the movie backs off completely and takes a 100% degree turn about the moral afterwards.

Of course, if people want to support the ending, please do so. But it's not to state that it is somewhat remarkable.

Overall, I don't think the ending was about the people rejecting Miley at the expense of Hannah. But due to her implying that she couldn't be Hannah (this was something that was vaguely explained with the concept anyway; Miley's mayor issue with revealing herself was just that she was not able to have her privacy), the audience were assuring her that she could be Hannah afterall. It's not as bad as it looks like, but the movie still dealt with it in a cluttered way.
