What about something a little more sophisticated?Īs wonderfully complex as Amelie is, it still ends the same way as the missiles and chicks flick.
The good guys have won and the Main Character heads back to Miramar happy- Top Gun is the very definition of the Happy Movie. Tossing his buddy's dog tags into the ocean, he's now "free" to kick ass on his own terms. In the following scenes, Maverick (Tom Cruise) has finally resolved his personal issues concerning Goose and living under the shadow of his father. What does the clip above reveal? Well, if you look closely, you'll notice that the good guys are jumping up and down while they thrust their fingers in the air, proclaiming their victory over the Evil Empire. We start out with the super cheesy celebration of all things male, Top Gun. The good guys win and the Main Character goes home happy.
Movies with sad endings movie#
The majority of people want to see a movie with a happy ending (Personally, I prefer something a little more complex, but we'll get to that in a different post). While I don't have any deep scientific research to prove why, I'm pretty sure it's because Happy Ending films have the biggest box office draws. These are the kinds of movies that everyone thinks most stereotypical studio executives love. We'll start out with Happy Endings, which we can also call Triumphs. Do the good guys win? Does the Main Character go home happy? That's it. To determine the type of ending you have to figure out the answer to two questions. So how do you determine exactly what ending a story might have? It's really quite simple. Afraid that might be a little reductive? Not when you realize that there are a zillion different ways of presenting these endings. There are basically four different ways you can end a movie: Happy, Sad, Bittersweet Happy, and Bittersweet Sad.
