Enough to make a grown man cry
When Disney agreed to make the movie, did they read the ending?
To be honest it didn't feel like a Disney movie at all, and that's good. It's not a movie for kids, it's a movie for everyone.
The movie is at the same time so distant from reality and yet so close. It all merged so beautifully. This movie touches so many themes at once: friendship, love, family, money, art, creativity, escape, bullying, school, work, kindness, redemption. What a way to learn about all of this.
Jess and Leslie's story is heart-wrenching enough to make a big man cry (not just once). And I'm not a big man. It's all very beautiful.
I don't know about you all but it was great and psychologically destructive to see my childhood's fantasies come to life. What a journey.
I'm not going to talk on that ending because it was a shock. A shock. And I don't think I'm going to be able to recover any time soon.
I guess we all understood a very important thing from this movie: everybody has a crush on Zooey Deschanel.
