Spoilers!!! Be forewarned!!! (Disclaimer: I don't understand the language spoken in this film. I watched this with English subtitles. I could have misunderstood something that led to my dislike of the story.) Rats!! I was so mad when I finished this film!* Nowhere did I read that this was a tragedy!! Otherwise, I wouldn't have watched it. I read that there was a "uplifting ending" so I assumed that if I trudged through the bog of misery along with our heroes that eventually something good would happen to bring meaning to their suffering.("David Copperfield", "Gone With The Wind", "War and Peace" style.) Now, I like a good bittersweet and life-is-a-struggle story; however, this ending felt pointless!! I still don't get it. The guy is dead and the girl is dying of T.B. (was the paper leaf supposed to keep her alive?) And he died to save her and atone for his evil ways. But Umm...HE CAUSED her problems to begin with!! So, basically everyone is happiest in the beginning... and it goes downhill from there. *I would like to go on record to say that my criticism is isolated to the storyline. I thought the acting, cinematography, etc. was great.
