I was recently watching "The Count of Monte Cristo" on TV, and the plot is a beautiful one. Towards the end, I was yearning for the happy ending - I would have been really disappointed if the "long lost" young lover hadn't ended up with the countess and his illegitimate son. If her husband had managed to kill the father of his wife's son... I would've been very upset.
Does this make me a romantic? Perhaps, but I love the traditional happy ending.
An example of a sad movie was Tess of the d'Urbervilles. Ignorant little me had not yet read the book, yet proceeded to watch the television series made by the BBC. The story kept getting sadder and sadder, but I still continued to watch... Then it ended. And no prince came along to save the day (and Tess)... there was no last-minute pardon. That upset me very much.
What about you? Do you like twists? Or happy endings?
