It is definitely one of my all time favorites, and I know how you posted that you hated how it ended, but I'm one of the few who loved the ending. I like to think positively but I love the fact that it's up to the viewer to decipher their own end. It makes you think and it gives the viewer an emotion other than the perfect ending like the other 95% of movies out there.

I have to agree with Adrianna on this one. I liked the ending for that very reason... you just don't know if it's real or not, but are given a split-second clue that it might be.
I agree with Mr. Card that the ending was a huge disappointment. Almost all the sentiments presented in his blog post are mine - I think it's one of the best movies I've ever seen. The only point of contention I have is that while I think Leo's acting was excellent in this film, I think his acting in Shutter Island was even better.However, my husband agrees with the two above commenters - he loves the ending.
I want to note that I loved the ending because it sequenced seamlessly with the dream-concept of the entire movie. So many times I wake from a vivid, disturbing dream right at the climax. No amount of further sleeping will bring it back and there are times when I'm left wondering how the hell it ended! Sometimes I lay in bed and muse over possible endings, but it's never the same as actually being in the dream. That's how the movie ended for me.On a side-note, I love how my husband described the movie. He said it left his mind feeling like it had just gotten off the treadmill--you know, still moving even though you aren't... :)
