To say people aren't paying attention is not what I would call it. I thought it was a happy ending for the two roles, but some people wanted them together at the end which was their interpretation of an happy ending.The film has a VERY happy ending! It's not the typical "Hollywood" happy ending that some people seem to be unable to live without, but it was a happy ending nonetheless. If you couldn't see that, you weren't paying enough attention!
