I've seen the film. You'll be blown away by the final sequence. Along with Wagner's masterpiece, it just hits you emotionally.

i watched this alone in the movie theater in the beginning of the summer. i sat in directly in the middle, the highest row of the cinema, the speakers booming on both sides of me. you can surely guess how I felt when the final sequence hit me. i was like THIS MOVIE'S LEAPING OUT OF THE GODDAMN SCREEN!

@sethula1 i felt no sympathy for you, she wore her depression and used it as a big fuck you to everyone, even though nobody was perfect in the movie. the look she gave her new husband at the party killed any sympathy i had, she looked at him with a defiant fuck you mate

[sethula1]

@mitzibishi i've known people that get like that when theyre depressed. and besides, it may also have to do with something other than her depression, you cant blame all her problems on that

[henriette756]

And thé choice "Wagner" for this film is just right,perfect..

[henriette756]

@TheLeecom = .. Insane ? Probably.. But that s why thé film is a masterpiece ..

[mitzibishi]

she was too much of a bitch for me to feel sympathy for her kind of depression, i have bouts of depression but dont go around shitting on people, far from it, i always think its my fault or i will be at fault and bother other people.

I watched this movie recently. I watched it alone. My husband walked into the room right after it ended and asked me "so how was the movie?" I looked at him and burst into tears. It's been a long time since I have been so affected by a film. It's weeks later and I find myself still thinking about it. And yes the ending is one of the most raw, intense thing I have ever seen.

@gcrotik and Dracula, and Gladiator, and mostly every movie aside with Holst...

[OhSeamus]

movie was depressing as hell. but the final scene blew my mind.

@squigoo yes, Wagner also composed a lot of things for movies, like "Highlander" or "Back to future" or his best "Apocalipsis now", Coppola wrote in a book years later "When i met Richard Wagner its was a little scary, he seems like 200 years old" and also this was the idea for "Interview with the vampire"
