Subject: Deceptive happy endings


> Dear all,
>
> I am looking for films with a happy ending that is deceptive, e.g., it can
be
> read as illusionary while the "real" ending is less happy.
>
> Examples: "Les Amants de Pont Neuf" and "Will it snow for christmas?"
> Both endings can be interpreted as the protagonists commiting suicide, and
the
> images might be what goes on in their head at the moment of death (a
> la "Incidence at owl creek's bridge".
>
> Any other examples?
