At first this movie really caught my attention with this man's struggle on losing someone close. I believe everyone can appreciate the pain with handling a broken heart, whether in death or not. This ending lost all of my respect on what this movie I thought was trying to show people. Do we not have enough negativity in every aspect of life? To portray love in this manner honestly just shows us what our society believes about true love and what it can enable us to do. This boys best friend is what I define love to really be. He was showing no selfishness like the girlfriend. That is not true love and it is not portrayed in the ending. We lose people daily to suicide over broken hearts and them choosing death over staying alive for moms, dads, brothers, and so on but most importantly for their children and they leave them behind all over a broken heart. Just imagine the children that have to grow up believing that their parent just didn't love them enough to stick around. This movie basically was suicide. I'm sorry but this movie could have been a huge eye opener for people that are really struggling in similar situations, maybe not from death but from a broken relationship and trying to move on without the person they love. This shows to just give up.
