A Movie Script Ending

//Now we all know the words were true in the sappiest songs (yes, yes). I'll put them to bed, but they won't sleep, they're just shuffling the sheets, they toss and turn, (you can't begin to get it back).//

The cynic inside of me thinks it's time to have a negative Disney movie be made, without a fairytale ending. Once upon a time... they didn't live happily ever after... the end.

Happily ever after movies raise the bar for over expectations in the real world that are rarely met.

Sure these movies do serve their purposes. They make us feel warm and fuzzy inside for about the two hours that we watch them for. But then they finish, and reality returns. And then what? We sit there pondering after an impossible fantasy world. Life is messy and it's time that Disney movies, and romantic comedies in general, acknowledge this - instead of showing off false perceptions of reality.


After all, sometimes the Wicked Witch does conquer all.

(But then again I suppose I'll never stop believing the romantic comedy dream. Maybe, one day?)
