Dreadlock journey The Harry

Dreadlock journey

The Harry Potter fanfiction Hope takes this to the next level with an epilogue in the afterlife leaving them Happily Ever After for eternity. Subverted in the film adaptation of The Tale Of Despereaux, as Narrator gives the epilogue about how everything was put right and notes that normally, she would note that everyone lived happily ever after. However, she then remarks but what fun is that? as you see Despereaux gliding away for his next adventure. A bittersweet variation on the standard appears in Brotherhood of the Wolf, in which the narrator admits that he does not actually know what happened to the hero and his love interest, but it pleases me to think that they were happy. The audience never finds out whether the final scene of the two living happily together is the truth or merely the narrators fantasy. The film adaptation of Stardust seemed to be headed to a happily ever after ending, but the ending turned out to be even happier, as the lead couple get transformed into stars when they reach old age, enabling them to truly live happily ever after or at least for several billion more years. This is actually a Double Subversion: the narrator notes that no man can live except he dreadlock journey possesses the heart of a star. And Yvaine had given hers to Tristan completely. Waynes World lampshaded this trope by initially ending with a Downer Ending, then switching to a Scooby Doo ending, then finally settling on The Mega Happy Ending in which Wayne wins the heart of Cassandra, Garth gets the dream woman, and Russel and one of Garths friends discover platonic love can exist between two grown men. The sequel does the exact same thing, with a sad ending in which Wayne and Garth die of thirst, a Thelma And Louise ending, and another Mega Happy Ending with all the bands arriving at Waynestock and everyone reuniting again at the successful event. Played with in The Illusionist. The two lovers would seem to get a happy ending, but it could also have been Inspector Uhls hopeful imagining of how the titular character could have pulled off his greatest dreadlock journey trick in order to be reunited with his beloved. Subverted in Brazil when we discover that Sam has not escaped to the country with his girlfriend but has in fact been tortured into insanity. Although seen by some as a bittersweet ending due to his permanent psychosis being his idea of heaven. Almost every movie of Disney live action or animated or from Don Bluth ends in this way. Howls Moving Castle is one of the very few anime movies that end in this way because it is based on an western book. Just Howl? Nearly all of Ghiblis movies have happy endings, the only exceptions being Grave of the Fireflies which is downright depressing and Pom Poko which is at least bittersweet. The Discworld novels often deconstruct this rather fiercely, especially Witches Abroad. While many end happily, its the ever after part that doesnt hold up past the start of the next book. The Amazing Maurice And His Educated Rodents in particular points out the exact point where another story would declare that everyone lived happily ever after, before abandoning it and showing the effort that is needed to make something like that work. In some ways, this ending is actually more satisfying. Subverted in The Princess Bride : the narrators father said that the characters lived happily ever after, but when the narrator gets around to reading the book himself as an adult, he finds out that its actually an open ending with the success of the escape left in doubt. The movie adaptation, however, plays this trope straight. Subverted in Atonement, in which the narrator Briony, who pulled an I Should Write A Book About This, says she wanted to give her sister and her lover a happy ending, but in reality both are dead. Subverted in Candide. The title character has reunited with his love and Pangloss goes on another diatribe about how this is the best of all possible worlds. Only the girl is sunburned, leathery, and peevish from outdoor labor and, with all the tragedy Candide gamely suffers throughout the story, he politely tells Pangloss to shove it. On the other hand, the point of the book is that If this is not the best of all possible worlds, it is at least not the worst, and Candide manages to find some satisfaction in his new life. We must all tend our garden.
