For those that want to compain about the ENDING...


wwwWWWAAAAAH! wwwWWWAAAAAH!

EVERYbody wants to moan and holler because the ending didn't go the way they wanted it to go. Well, it didn't go the way the characters wanted it to either, but that's life. Let me ask everyone one question: Say Rafi and Dave ended up together. What would we bitch about then? The threads on this board would look something like this:

---------------------------------------
Predictable ending
---------------------------------------
SOOOO predictable!
---------------------------------------
Get real! They would never work out!
---------------------------------------
This movie is not realistic at ALL
---------------------------------------
23 and 37? Whatever
---------------------------------------
This movie should have a more true to life ending
---------------------------------------
That would never really happen!
---------------------------------------

Come on people, pick a battle. I think people just want to bitch about something.

I totally agree. I couldn't believe when I came on here and people were whingeing about the ending. I liked the movie and I liked the ending as well; it didn't bring the film down in my opinion. By being together, Rafi and Dave each learned something -- Dave learned how to grow up, what it took to be in a real relationship, to be true to himself, and to not let his parents (or Bubby smacking herself over the head with a frypan) control the way he lives his life. Rafi learned that not every man was going to break her heart, that it was ok for her to give her whole self to a man, and to relax and enjoy her life. I think they were both in each other's lives at the right time... It seems like one of those relationships where you didn't end up together forever, but that you could look back on with joy and without being sad because it was fun and happy and brought something meaningful to your life.

So to all the people complaining about the ending, like artguylarry says, that's life. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose -- it doesn't always go the way you want it to go, or even the way it should. The ending was nice, and realistic (well I think it is anyway). So stop bitching and moaning... if it wasn't this, it would just be something else. Relax and enjoy it for what it was... simply a movie!

I like your comment, it is beautiful. the writer said that he knows from the beging that it won't work for those couple and the story is about 'you can love a person without having a baby together or being together?' and the answer from this movie is yes :)

I'm sure you're right.

I myself found the ending quite sad, but if it had been a happy ending, it would have been very much cliché.

So well done for the writers.

I liked the ending. Sure, in a way I would've wanted them to end up together, but then the film wouldn't have been as good.

It wasn't a happy ending, but it wasn't sad either. They moved on with their lives. They saw each other again and remembered what they had, how amazing it was, and it didn't make them sad. Only happy. It was sweet.

Too many people want happy endings in film, and its a valid point, thats life.

Well played sir

I had a go on the old "Crazy Golf" the other day, not quite the mayhem I was expecting...

Hi artguylarry,

I readed your opinion about the story of the movie and would like to share my ideas and experience about it.
First of all, I don't aggree with your opinion about your thinking of the reality of this movie.
Even if it's not common, people can have that kind of relationships in real life.
I mean when I was watching the movie I remember my relationship with my wife and I was thinking that the movie was about our relationship.
When we have met, I was 23 years old university student at collage and she was 37 years old divorced woman. We have fallen in love each other so deeply.
I have gotten problems with my family (especially with my mother as in the movie)
for such kind of relationship including a huge age difference.
We have been married for 4 years and we divorced in the end. From the beginning to the end of our relationship I think that I have experienced such a hardest and also the most beautiful thing I have ever had.
In my opinion this movie is realistic and has got a true ending.
Have a nice life
Askin

I don't really care about if the ending is satisfying or not, but I don't think that age, color, religion, family.. or whatever, must be an obstacle for a relationship if the couple is happy together.

I personally liked the ending as well. I think it's realistic. There are people who come into your life and you learn from them. For one reason or another, maybe it just isn't meant to be. I also liked how they ended things on good terms. They might not have been together, but they still understood and loved each other in their own way. I think I have this type of thing with someone from my past. We aren't together, but I learned from him and still care about him in my own way. So, I can relate to this movie.
