Is the so-called happy ending really necessary?

How should I put it, when I first watched it, I thought it was pretty good. The heroine is smart, beautiful, proficient in several languages, and the clothes are good. It can be said that she is a proper goddess. As for the male protagonist, she is not my type. But the victory lies in being sincere to the heroine, so it's okay. In addition, the heroine's appearance is not old, so I still liked the first half, but I think it started to collapse after the plot. In other words, the father of the hero The fact that he is the heroine's ex-boyfriend really makes people speechless, doesn't it, not to mention that the dog is not bloody, doesn't the screenwriter feel a little bit of a sense of disobedience, and it goes against human relations? Or is it that foreign countries don't care anymore? I think, doesn't the female lead love the male lead's father? No, she has loved, there is no doubt about that, otherwise she would not stay for him, otherwise she would not leave with a heart-wrenching heart and tears like rain, or she would not be in the The male protagonist's father is no longer young, and when he is old, he still recognizes him at first sight. In the final analysis, the male protagonist is better than his father is just luck, if not for his father's strong assist, and If the heroine's car accident made it possible to live, grow old and die like a normal person, it is conceivable that the fate of the hero and heroine will be the same as their father's, the heroine will escape, and then keep this secret and continue a story. Human life, maybe falling in love with another person after a few years, repeating this endless fate, lonely and sad, but I think this is the most reasonable and most suitable ending, there is no need to force a happy ending, Sometimes tragedy is more touching, isn't it?

The Age of Adaline quotes

  • Narrator: Ten months after her husband's death, Adaline was driving north to her parents beach cottage where 5 year old Fleming was waiting up for her, when something highly unusual occurred, something almost magical - snow fell in Sonoma County, California. The immersion in the frigid water caused Adaline's body to go into an anoxic reflex, instantly stopping her breathing and slowing her heartbeat. Within 2 minutes, Adaline Bowman's core temperature had dropped to 87 degrees,

    Narrator: At 8:55 a bolt of lightning struck the vehicle discharging half a billion volts of electricity and producing 60,000 amperes of current. Its effect was threefold. First, the charge defibrillated Adaline Bowman's heart. Second, she was jolted out of her anoxic state causing her to draw her first breath in 2 minutes. Third, based on Von Lehman's principle of electron compression in deoxyribonucleic acid - which will be discovered in the year two thousand thirty-five - Adaline Bowman will henceforth be immune to the ravages of time. She will never age another day.

  • Flemming: You don't have to be alone forever. Don't you miss having someone to love? It's been such a long time.

    Adaline Bowman: It's not the same when there's no future.

    Flemming: What are you talkin' about, you got nothin' but future!

    Adaline Bowman: I mean a future together, growing old together. Without that, love is, uh... it's just heartbreak.

    Flemming: It's the same for everybody. How many times has my heart been broken?

    Adaline Bowman: Too many.

    Flemming: If I had your looks and your energy, I'd fall in love tomorrow, I really would.
