All they want are happy endings, life isn't always like that, we need this in life and learn to live with it to be better.
shareI'm an American and I understood it perfectly. I resent your exceptionalist attitude. I'd love to know which highly intellectual country you are so privileged to hail from. I won't have to bother visiting.
shareAnother git who doesn't have the courage to speak for himself so he makes generalizations about the taste level of the citizens of a whole country-it's so lazy and pretentious. Well, you don't lack for company on IMDB.
You lack the intelligence to explain why you enjoyed the ending so you misdirect. Sad, weak and so obvious.

I think you are confusing Americans with Disney.
I don't think you can make such a sweeping generalization about a country as huge as the US is -- both geographically & culturally -- without coming across as a small minded and lazy. If you want to fight that try looking at people as individuals.
Its no fun to be on the receiving end of generalizations or stereotypes -No one wins when that happens and you miss out on getting to know interesting individuals and having meaningful debates...
I don't mistake a Tragic Endings as deeper or more meaningful than happy or (my favorite) ambiguous) endings- Some are, some aren't. The disparity IMO is when a movie totally changes tone to tack on a controversial ending--Like Mama with such a good creepy atmosphere, I didn't like the Disney/Happy ending for Lily.
I dreamt of a roaring river and a woman that was a fish. Dead she drifted, with red tears...
I LIKED this movie. Except for the part where some flunky got a map of Washington and Oregon border for the beginning credits, and it's supposed to be DC, not State. I'm fairly sure I'm not imagining this.
Should we all live up to promises as does Rick Grimes.
Um... USA is the nation that birthed some of the most famous sombre endings ever. Citizen Kane, the Godfather films, Se7en, Gone with the Wind, Cabaret, Schindlers list, Chinatown, Taxi Driver, Blair Witch Project, Raging Bull, No country for Old Men, There Will be Blood.... ETC.
All these films have unsatisfying endings in some way, ALL considered important American classics. Your whinging, straw-man comments make no sense. People don't dislike this film cause of the ending, they don't like it cause it's a cheap jump scare film with hilariously inept CGI, cheap-looking cinematography and a conventional dull story.
This is a trash movie, so your elitism is made even more ridiculous.

No, all I want is a good movie, and this isn't one.
