ROMANCE AND CIGARETTES - Thoughts on the Ending? (SPOILERS, OBVIOUSLY)

Posted: 3/30/08 at 7:07pm

Anyone see this movie? I thought it was rather interesting because of the unbelievable shift in tone towards the end. It goes from light-hearted and upbeat to bleak and depressing within a finger-snap. I'm not criticizing it for this, but I just think it's really interesting to end a light-comedy with...

(HUGE SPOILER COMING)

...the lead character dying of lung cancer in a rather graphic fashion. I definitely was not expecting that.

Yeah, I agree it was quite shocking... maybe a bit too shocking. I liked the movie. It had some really great parts and a amazing cast, but at times it felt jumbled and a bit too off-kilter.

"Oh please, Over at 'Gypsy' Patti LuPone hasn't even alienated her first daughter yet!" Mary Testa in "Xanadu" "...Like a drunk Chita Rivera!" Robin de Jesus in "In the Heights"

"B*tch, I don't know your life." -Xanadu After that if he still doesn't understand why you were uncomfortable and are now infuriated, kick him again but this time with Jazz Hands!!! -KillerTofu

I really need to see the movie again and see if the comedy was darker than I remembered.

I dunno. It was just an interesting way to end a comedy.

And it's not like it's just one scene. His dying is prolonged for about twenty minutes.
