Yes, you are right but I also remember him leaving. That was not his thing; no more than the pickle store was hers. I recall her saying she loved doing what she does. He's as content running the family store with his brother. We know the brother is not in the position to take over so it's a duty that he takes seriously and, I believe, enjoys.
Where would they meet; what's the middle ground? If they got together it's more likely she would have to scale back or even leave her job because she couldn't do both. They live on different parts of town. To have a home and family with Ben, and that is the objective, she would need to change. I don't think he'd want her exactly as she is. He would have to change in some ways too because if she did change he couldn't expect her to be happy without some give on his part. I have a hard time seeing how either of them would do that.
I agree that it seems Izzy changes her attitude pretty quickly at the end, but I like to think it was a legitimate change.
You are, of course, entitled to your opinion but I don't see what it's based on. I think we're led to believe this movie is something it's not. She cries when he's not there so we're to think her feelings for him have changed. He's still there so it's a happy ending. Bubbie is happy and all is right with the world... blah, blah, blah I'm not buying it.
The filmmakers chose to end the movie at that point in their relationship but the story continues on. I do not see a happily ever after in their future. Had there been external forces keeping them apart and they finally manage to overcome those forces so they could be together that would be different. In their case so many things were aligned and pushing them together but it was still a struggle; mostly due to Izzy's immaturity but it's also due to their incompatibility. If they end up together how can they be happy?
Woman, man! That's the way it should be Tarzan. [Tarzan and his mate]
