Reunion = happy ending?

Kate:"To them, this guy is a dream. He is handsome, honest, courteous, stands when you walk in a room, brings you brioche in bed."

Leopold's justice, courteousness, and elegant taste have captured the hearts of all modern people in the film. But that doesn't make him and Kate fall in love. Kate jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge desperately after just a week of getting along. At this time, she may be fascinated by his graceful demeanor, but courtesy is only the lowest level of his personality. Why is he obsessed with machinery and science... She still doesn't understand his most secret personality and emotions, and the essence of why he is leopold, but only favors his handsomeness and elegance. How can this be called love? In other words, when kate came to 1876.4.28, when all the men around her were such gentleman, what was the unique thing about him that attracted her? And in this relationship, she is different from other modern women, what is the difference that she can bring him?

The inability to portray more unique personalities of the hero and heroine may be limited by the length of the film. Maybe give the director an extra hour, and this love fairy tale will be more perfect. But after watching the rough story of 100min, the worry about the happy life of kate and leopold back in 1876 always echoed in my mind.
