There was a time that I began to dislike how every movie ended happily ever after. Closer, one of my favorites, was the first movie that I had ever seen that did not have a happily ever after. I loved it. Jabali hated it. I tried to explain to him that it was a grown up love story. People fell in love, made mistakes and it ended in a very real life way; no one was happy.
Reality is Disney screwed us.
Seriously, we grew up with girls like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Belle, Jasmine and Ariel. Other than being flawless [which provided us with the foundation on which we'd later build our unrealistic obsession of 'true' beauty] each of them had their happily ever after.
Now, here's the funny thing. The movie ends after they get married.
You don't get to see Cinderella yelling at Prince Charming (for the 3rd time that week) to clean up after himself. They never explain that Aladdin has been sleeping on the couch because he forgot an anniversary. I mean could you just imagine the look on Belle's face after she fell into the toilet... again?! They just sum it up... and they lived happily ever after.
I think they are speaking in an overall kinda way. Most of the time she was happy and even though they didn't always like each other, they never ever forgot they loved each other... well, after the kids moved out. haha.
Enjoying my happily ever after. ;)
