movies make life easier for us by usually stopping in the middle

An exerpt from a review by Roger Ebert of the current movie titled "One Day" starring Anne Hathaway:
"The film is carefully crafted to make even its sad moments seem not all that bad, and it modulates its progress toward happiness without unseemly haste.  Every single joyous love story ends in death if you follow it long enough.  The movies make life easier for us by usually stopping in the middle."
(color emphasis is mine)

This gave me thought to how portraits of life through various media effect our outlook on life as it should be.  Then when reality does not go the way of storied representation we believe something is wrong with us.

We believe too many tales.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.~ John Lennon
