The movie's ending makes me so sad but the comic book has come to rescue

It is amazing that I find myself to fond of Adele (Clementine, in the comic) and Emma so much within three hours. I am a straight person but I don't care, I adore them. Love has no gender.

This is why I am still feeling stressed and sad after the ending of the movie. I can't even decide what score I should give to the movie because of it. My heart is broken. I have waited and waited to Adele and Emma reunite again in the end. The movie's ending is so cruel to me, especially knowing that the second part will never come out. I simply couldn't take it.

I have heard that the ending is different in the comics. So, I thought there still may be a comfort for my grief. I found after reading the comic that many parts of the movie stays true but the original story is different.

There is a conclusion of the story. If you are like me who really like the movie but truly saddened by the ending, you really must read the comic. You might want to know the hole story by reading the comic from the start to the end. I am really glad that I did.
SPOILER AHEAD:

They reunite. Emma forgives and loves Adele/Clementine to the very end.

For more, I strongly suggest that read the comic book from the start to the end. To me, it wasn't reading, it was experiencing.

Many thanks to the author JULIE MAROH for the comic and everyone who has contribution in the movie (especially the actresses Lea and Adele) for this great experience. It was totally a different experience that I didn't feel till today.

Cool I might check it out sometime. I adore this movie, just got the Criterion for it and am hoping to watch it again tomorrow.

Yeah the ending is pretty sad and bummed me out to no end when I saw it way back when. Both actresses were wonderful and they did a great job in bringing their characters to life.

Makes the ending that much tougher to watch

Indeed! Exactly my thoughts. It is so good to know that there are people out there sharing this mutual feeling. I see you are like me, so if you have time to read the comic, I would really like to hear your opinions afterwards :)

I'm sorry you feel that way. What tear me apart in the movie was the separation. I was so attached and cared for their relationships at the time in the movie because of two actresses' wonderful acting. Seeing Adele devastated from the separation was much more unbearable to me than the other ending in the comic book. I've always hated the movies without has a conclusion as well. Knowing that the second part of the movie will never come out, which leaves no room to reconcile, at least in the comic book they reconcile and there is a conclusion even if it is still a sad one. But I understand not everyone has the same feeling on this. So not sure if I delete or edit the thread...
