Shouldn't the ending be a tragedy?

To be honest, the ending is really ridiculous, a bit reunion for the sake of reunion, shouldn’t stories like this be a tragedy? I can't understand how to be happy ending, the hero and the heroine are still living together happily, and they can also turn around and grow old together!
However, I still recommend watching this movie, one star for Blake's good figure, one star for Blake's costume show, and one star for the astronomical and geographic narration that admires the screenwriter very much.
The whole movie is like Blake’s personal fashion show. I only see her beauty, her charming voice, and her attractive posture. I wonder if I have such a beautiful posture
. When I saw the trailer and recommendations for the first time, I was still very interested. It was also a movie that I watched as soon as I downloaded it. The viewing was very smooth, and it was finished without much effort or impatientness, which is also pretty good. It's not too disappointing, it's just not as profound as expected.
Although at the beginning, I think the heroine’s experience is really enviable. How many women’s dreams have made her catch up. Without changing her appearance and body, she can live 100 years old in such a colorful manner. Aventures and encounters, how many things can be done in a lifetime,
but as the plot of the movie advances, seeing Adaline's helplessness and hesitation, I can deeply understand and appreciate her feelings. She meets love, dare not love, and escapes. She obviously has a lot of beautiful future, but she gives up love because she can't have a common future. For her, she is ready to be alone for a lifetime and always be alone. It's really cruel.
I used to think that I would not be old. It would be great to stay young. I was also afraid of the aging of the face, the deformation of the body, the arrival of disease, and the final death. Many I dare not think about it. Now I feel that if someone who loves is around to accompany him until he grows old, even if he will go to old age and death together, it is enough. The company of family, friends and lover will be a complete life. If you never grow old, watching the people around you get old, sending your loved ones to the other side of the world, heartbreak, heartache, will remind yourself over and over again that I will be lonely but I will not die, it is really cruel.
So, live the present, even if you are getting old, you must live every day wonderfully~ May you, us, all of us spend our whole life in this way~

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.
