Cinephiles Are Discussing Movies Where The Good Guy Loses In The End
I love when a movie deviates from the basic plot structures. Especially when the ending isn’t wrapped up with a little bow. Good guy wins…roll credits.
There are a lot of really fantastic movies where the good guy doesn’t win in the end. In fact, there are a lot where no one wins at all. Just like real life!
