| Re: Stephen King's Storm of the Century Yeah, I like the ending and I think a climactic opposition filled with action would have been a let down and wouldn't have flowed with the rest of the movie. The whole series they there was tremendous buildup to them feeling helpless and then they finally are faced with a task that seems to solidify that feeling. But then again, I still have to say they made the wrong choice and I stand by Tim Daly's character in the show even though his supposed alternative would have inevitable led to the exact fate that they saw in their dreams. Even so I echo his overall premise that it is indeed unthinkable and they could not consent to what he was asking. I have to have the defeatist mentality and say that I think the ending they gave it is the best one considering the context of the entire series regardless as to how morbid it is. I almost wanna say that an ending like the one in needful things (the book not the movie) would have suited the movie better but somehow I doubt it and I think it would throw off the rest of the movie and be unsatisfying. |
