The reason is clear, it has been clearly explained herein.
The irony is, the disappointment you mistake as 'turning the movie into shit' is the disappointment that, were you sentient enough to direct it properly, the author and directors were going for.
Yes, it's unfair, it's a cop out, it leaves you disoriented and disappointed. Doesn't make it shit. It makes it a commentary on conventional expectations and how poorly they match up to real life.
A couple of weeks ago, you could have said 'yeah, let's make a movie of Michael Jackson's life, only he dies of heart failure before his comeback tour. Boy wouldn't that be artistic.  " |
Again, I know all about real life, the random things that tend to happen in real life, and the evil people who wander through it. I assume some of them even get into car wrecks after killing women, and boy, nobody saw that coming! How arty! But I don't need to see it at the movies.
And I don't need Chazz Dickensucker, super duper film critic for the Greenwich Village Enlightened Voice (or whatever rag you lifted that "commentary on conventional expectations" crap from) thinking for me, either.
