Maybe a little bit snarky.


I am frustrated by all these fake-outs. Where are all the happy endings?

A Raisin in the Sun: Family needs money. Family gets money. Family loses money.
(cop-out resolution to make author feel better: family maintains pride)

The Glass Menagerie: Girl has issues. Girl's brother arranges for gentleman caller. Girl and gentleman "hit it off." Guy remembers he's married. Brother escapes, leaving his mother and sister to their own devices.
(cop-out resolution to make the author feel better: brother haunts sister... for a while.)

Othello: Mmm... the pattern fails here because we know it's a tragedy from the get-go. We all pretty much knew Othello was done for.

Anyway, happy things:


That movie's a lot better than the trailer would indicate. Do not be deceived.
