I confess: I don't get the ending of Candy.
One minute Dan is out in the alley behind the restaurant he's working in, smoking a cigarette and telling us (via voice-over) how all he's been thinking about was seeing Candy again. Then, like a gift from heaven, she shows up and says "Baby, I'm Yours (again)."
Other than some need to have a "life's a bitch and we must all be unhappy" ending, or perhaps because the director had no idea how else to end the movie, why does Dan suddenly opt for: "There's no going back." (i.e., why *not,* Dan? or why not just go *forward* -- with Candy?)
I'm sorry if I'm too thick to understand. Someone enlighten me, please.
