Terrible ending - Spoiler Alert


I thought this was a fairly interesting movie; right up until the end of the movie then I was really upset. I would not classify what she did as love. After betraying him, she knew he'd be blown to bits. It was all for her stupid ideals; ideals to which he did not subscribe.

It's supposed to be an act of love that she went to die with him in his arms but that was tantamount to a murder-suicide. The fact she told him didn't let her off the hook either. What really bothered me is how all was forgotten and forgiven the minute the threat was off. How could he ever trust her? It's not like it was mutual betrayal; it was all one-sided on her part.

I would have preferred to see that they parted ways. The threat and stress of war made them enemies but it also heightened their feelings so their so-called love was also brought on by the war. Having them stay together was meant to show that things do go back to normal but I would have bought it if they'd been together prior to the war, took different sides, then came back together after hostilities ended.
