What pleases us the most is a movie with the happy ending, howsoever, unreal it maybe with respect to the actual life. We prefer an ending with all smiles. We doubt the message, a sad ending could convey. But we go wrong there. The sentiment conveyed by an unhappy ending, could be really lasting. We are used to life with a bed of roses. But what tests your mettle are not "happy moments", but they are those which have led you to the happier times, i.e. the hardships.
You see a movie with a sad ending, feel that it was merely a waste of time. But what about the message it carried, it was probably not to idolize the type of characters of the reel life, in the real life. I believe, we should to learn bit by bit from anything we come across. Life would be too monotonous if all is well all time. Water seems life-giving only when we are thirsty. The pleasure we get after our thirst is quenched, it's indescribable. No doubt, happy endings give us a ray of hope, but we need not ignore the unfavorable results we may come across. Because they will guide us into that zone from which all the troubles emanate, and help us find the epicentre of our sufferings and shortcomings.
