  And The Main Character Dies (Not Always a Bad Thing)

  So I recently finished watching a movie (not saying the name of it) that ended in the main character dying. Now this isn't always a bad way to end a story in my opinion but the way this movie ended felt empty, like there was a budget cut or something. Basically the main character died, nobody found out about it, nothing good came out of the main character's actions and everything the movie showed seemed to have been for nothing. Part of what makes a character good in my opinion is that they change something, if they die they are remembered in some way and their death is known, they don't just simply dissappear from existance (in this case quite literally) never to be heard of again. The antagonist can win but the main characters actions should mean something.

  Seriously, when the main character just dies the same way a minor character would with almost no closure than a great deal of the impact of the story is lost. At least all the questions should be answered, here the main character was just...killed, and the movie ended. There was another movie that ended in a similar way that was released very recently and while it was a very good movie overall the ending left something to be desired and that can change a persons whole opinion on a movie.

  And if you really want to know what the movie was called I'll put it in a spoiler along with a link to the first video out of 6 so you can watch the movie yourself if you want to. It was a good movie and it's worth a watch especially if it's free on YouTube.

  ***SPOILER***

  The movie was called They. For some reason I can't post a link but just search They 2002 on YouTube and you should find it.

  I've Been Having a Bad Day.

  OK, so I came back to school from my 11 day break because of a chemical fire in one of the science rooms that damaged the whole English wing. When I came back I was thinking to myself in my physics class, about how I'm not very good at math and how I don't really have anything I'm really naturally talented at, something that really sets me apart from everybody else and a natural skill that will help me with my ultimate career. I'm not very good at math and I'm not interested in getting into engineering despite the fact that I surround myself with engineers who are telling me great ways to get into engineering schools. It's kind of funny actually, both of my parents were engineers and my sister naturally enjoys math. For me, I was born with an imagination but I don't know how I can use that, I don't think some of the things I come up with are so great all the time since I realize that everybody has ideas and it makes me feel like I'm nothing special.

  Einstein said that imagination is more important than intelligence but I feel as though that is less true now, it seems like engineers are more wanted and I just see myself being left behind. I'm jealous of all the people who are able to answer math problems easily and are actually interested in this stuff. I'm also jealous of the people who are naturally intelligent, my IQ is 107, I hate how I couldn't be born with an intelligence that could stack up to other people but I feel like I'm on the low side. I've developed a sort of inferiority complex and I realize it's not good but I'm finding it hard to find what I will do with myself when I get out into the real world. I feel like everyone is an engineer, there are some people that are writers but I just feel like all of my friends are good at doing engineering things, even my family is good at this stuff. How did I end up being the kid with an imagination? And I don't even have an imagination that works well with realistic situations, I hate coming up with things that work in reality, it's not fun and my mind always diverts to ridiculous designs of things. This wont get me anywhere.

  Well, my ultimate goal is to be in the video game industry so I guess ridiculous ideas are good there, but than again over there I still need to be good at math in many cases or art and I can't draw or design things for my life. I can come up with ideas and write decently I guess, I don't know about the writing part. And even than, I might not even be able to get into the video game industry, where will I go than? Maybe I could become a critic? I don't know, am I a good enough writer for that? I'm at the point in my life where I should really figure out where I'm going and feel comfortable with that but I don't know where I'm going, I feel like I'm going to be left behind by all the people I know in the end. I'm not giving up or anything but whenever I come to this realization I just end up having a very bad day from than on, I just wanted to share that with you guys.
