But, yes, solid points. I'm not sure I felt the dip that you did at the end. Though, the end wasn't as strong as the beginning.

The "Under Pressure" scene was one of my favorite scenes from any film I've seen in a long, long time. I actually got fairly choked up during.

What ending were you expecting?

Spoiler!

I was fully expecting Zack Galifinakis to commit suicide and succeed. I based this off of his stance as he leaves the party. At the hospital, he was numero uno. He was in control, liked, confident, etc. And suddenly this boy comes in and steals it all away. I thought he was a goner for sure.


I'm still not sure whether that would have been a good ending.

Funny thing is, I still find myself thinking about the movie a lot. The way it handled the subject matter was just superb and I keep thinking about that aspect.
