A happy ending! It's the ultimate gift a love story can get. And we all aspire to be a part of one.
That's what makes movies so awesome. They let you do just that. Magical and dreamy, the fruits of a happy ending are all the more enjoyable after the concerned couple has been through a wild ride of ups and down, restoring our faith in all things mush and candy.
With Valentine's Day coming up this weekend, here's a list of my 10 favourite 'And they lived happily ever after ' in no particular order or era.
Shrek
True's love first kiss is supposed to transform Princess Fiona back to her beautiful form. But it doesn't and she continues to be an ogre. Upset at her failure to change, she sighs, 'I don't understand. I am supposed to be beautiful.' And that's when the gallant Shrek in his cute Scottish accent interrupts, 'But you ARE beautiful.'
And they kiss in golden Hollywood fashion. As if on cue, Donkey echoes the exact sentiment in your head, 'I was hoping this would be a happy ending.'
So I adore the optimism of this Oscar-winning animation classic among a countless other things. It's like this, if an ogre can have it all, so can you. Am I a believer? Hell, yeah
