Happy Endings vs Sad Endings
Hello /r/movies. I would like to talk about happy endings and sad endings in movies.
Yesterday, I watched the film 'Buried' with Ryan Reynolds for the first time. I liked the film for the most part but there was something that pissed me off a lot: the ending. [Spoilers ahead] As you might know, the movie ends with the people trying to save Paul (Ryan Reynolds character) think they finally found him just to find another man instead. They have no time left to help Paul so he gets buried under the sand that is getting into the box and dies.').
Now, this is my own personal opinion: Most of the time, I'd rather have a move with a happy ending than one with a sad ending. There are of course exceptions to this but in general, thats how I feel about movie endings.
I think I have an idea of why I disliked the ending of 'Buried' so much, comparing it to the ending of, for example, 'The Mist', which is one of the exceptions where I actually did like the ending (although it does makes me sad). They are both sad endings where everything ends up terribly for the protagonists, so. What is the difference?
Right before the ending, Paul gets a call from the people trying to rescue him saying that they are almost there and he will be safe soon. Then Paul gets a call from his wife, and he tells her that everything is going to be ok and he will go back home. But we know that's not going to happen, as they are in the wrong place and find other man instead of Paul, so he dies and the movie ends.
[Spoilers for 'The mist'] In the end of 'The Mist', the group that left the grocery store just rides trough the mist. The car goes out of fuel, the situation looks very bad. It seems there is no way out of it, so the choice they make right after is understandable. The protagonist, David, takes his gun and uses the remaining bullets to kill the rest of the group, including his son, and spare them the suffering they might encounter with the monsters in the mist. There are not enough bullets for all of them so David decides to 'sacrifice' himself and be the only one left alive. Right after killing his group, David sees the army destroying the mist and saving with a bunch of survivors. If he had just waited a few minutes, his son would still be alive and they would have been saved. Its a pretty tragic ending.
In my opinion, what makes me dislike the ending of one of the films and makes me like the other one is, the hope that 'Buried' gave me. Everything seemed like it was going to be alright for Paul, but it didn't. On the other hand, in 'The Mist' everything looked awful for David, and at the end, it was much worse. I didn't like the ending of 'Buried' because I expected it to have a happy ending.
I'm not saying that the ending was bad or that 'Buried' is a bad movie, I just prefer happy endings over sad endings (most of the time), even if it's not completely realistic.
So, my question is: When is a sad ending better than a happy ending? What did you think about the ending of 'Buried'? Do you think the sad ending was necessary or would you have preferred a happy ending? And also, What other movies with sad endings would you have preferred with a happy endings? And the other way around?
Thanks for reading.
