It's pretty enlightening, on the subject of the ending. Read what so many people, some 9/11 'survivors' had to say.

It saddens me because I think everyone's just trying to forget...but we can't, we shouldn't.<br /><br />And also, there was A LOT of foreshadowing...<br /><br />OMG only 4 more days!InstantKarmaGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167278561146122904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646388995593578035.post-37031550633088284772010-06-17T15:51:49.494-04:002010-06-17T15:51:49.494-04:00I think that the ending did shock people, just as ...I think that the ending did shock people, just as the events of 9/11 shocked people. The point is, you never know when something like that is going to happen, so you have to be prepared for it. You have to "live in the moments", as the poster says. Also, I think there are actually a lot of clues as to what's going to happen in the end, you just have to look closely. I didn't notice the first time I saw it, but they show the Twin Towers in the background of one of the first shots.Natalienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646388995593578035.post-193309118217858992010-06-17T15:34:11.455-04:002010-06-17T15:34:11.455-04:00I think if you look for it, you can see the foresh...I think if you look for it, you can see the foreshadowing of the ending. Like, the movie starts in 1991 and then it flashes forward 10 years. In that class with Ally, the professor talks about terrorist attacks. I'm sure there's more but these are just ones I pulled off the top of my head right now.<br /><br />I completely understand why the ending is emotional but I guess, ultimately, I don't understand why 9/11 is treated like it should never been shown or discussed in movies, unless it's United 93 where the movie is just about 9/11. Why is the topic so sacrosanct? After all, we have movies about the Gulf war, Vietnam, etc. What's wrong with having open dialogue about it?<br /><br />I absolutely loved this movie. Not once did I think the ending was cheap or uncalled for. It's a movie about senseless deaths and the affects that has on the people left behind. I cried so much at the end. And as cheesy as it sounds, I did leave it appreciating life a little bit more. That's the ultimate message, I think. That nothing is certain so you need to make the most of your life as you live it.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526865953838822434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646388995593578035.post-77559172507887456752010-06-17T08:04:32.682-04:002010-06-17T08:04:32.682-04:00Good point IKG.

Will Fetters explained that that was all the point fo the film - to recreate an event that came out of the blue. No one knew anything on that day. But some viewers will always disagree for many reasons or will never be able to accept the ending, even if we try to explain.WhyIstheRumAlwaysGonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11171460182401203000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6646388995593578035.post-89004211317152928412010-06-17T05:40:31.937-04:002010-06-17T05:40:31.937-04:00I guess I don't understand why people don'...I guess I don't understand why people don't like the ending.<br /><br />Is it because we didn't see it coming until the date was on the blackboard?<br /><br />Because I thought that was kind of the point. <br /><br />NO ONE saw that day coming.<br /><br />And EVERYONE'S life changed.<br /><br />I've never thought of the ending as a blunder.
