Search Results: Afraid to commit

With an endless supply of movies to watch these days, we're often drowning in cliches, seeing the same moments over and over... seeing the same endings over and over.
One cliche is the "ambiguous ending". We've all seen them, those that leave us saying, "Huh?" Or maybe we're left spouting our theories, or arguing with our friends.
Some say these kinds of endings are lazy, and sometimes even cowardice. They're too afraid to commit to any ONE explanation for fear of the criticism it'll receive, so they just let the audience decide.
Others say these kinds of endings are insightful, inspiring genuine thought and conversation... relying on the intelligence of the audience to put the pieces together and essentially write the ending themselves.

What do you think?
Lazy?
Cowardice?
Intelligent and inspiring?

Also, what are some of your favorite ambiguous endings, ones that had you thinking/talking all night?

Thanks for sharing :-)

I know this question has been asked many times, but I want current opinions and fresh perspective from some of the younger users on here too.

in my opinion, marriage has become a business, a way to cheat the system, and an excuse to commit a battery of immoral acts. Now before I go further, let me first state that although I am a modern Pagan, I still believe that a married couple should honor certain morals and values.

I do not believe sex out of wedlock is wrong IF you are both of consenting age. I believe the term cheating is only applicable when your are hiding it from your partner and/or do not have their permission to sleep with a certain individual.

In most cases, I do not agree with getting married simply because you're pregnant. You don't have to be married to be in the child's life, or to help cover the cost of care. It's just not worth risking raising the child in a negative environment if the couple is a bad match.

I believe anyone who wants to marry should be allowed.

But back to my main points. Marriage is used every day to cheat the government out of money, spouses will use the M card to gain access to the SO's private information, and there are far too many people out their cheating simply because they are afraid of a messy divorce battle. Anit-Gay couples will use their marriage to justify hate crimes and violence against homosexuals, and there are far too many children suffering with unfit parents, simply because the state sees that two parents live in the home.

A ring will NOT guarantee loyalty or or fidelity. A piece of paper will not ensure that your spouse will take care of you financially, but many still assume this.

I'm a modern woman, and I feel that in this age, both parties should be capable of supporting themselves in the event of job loss or separation. With that notion, I really don't see much point in a ring, beyond employee benefits that extend to the spouse.

How do you guys feel?
