... Then had his own sister brought down and raped her on the colloseum floor while the guards and the audience stood by and did nothing... I gotta say, you know, I just don't think I would have enjoyed it as much.
Most people don't enjoy movies that end like that. So, either this "movie" just plain sucks, or it's not actually over yet. Maybe it has one of those extra scenes during the credits where the hero actually wins. I guess we'll see, huh?
Neo died in The Matrix trilogy and then came back. So did Trinity. Things seemed pretty bleak at those points. But it wasn't the end of the movie.
Christ was beaten to a pulp and nailed to a cross and for 3 days laid in a cold tomb. But it wasn't the end of that movie either.
Sometimes when you're iN the movie it's hard to spot the END of the movie.
But still, I'd rather hope than not. If my eyes tell me we just lost but my heart tells me to trust the plan, then I'm happy to walk by faith, not by sight.
