It didn't have to end like it did. The Hero didn't do anything more than anyone else to deserve his ending. What made the ex-wife change her mind so suddenly and too-late, was solely the contrivance of the script writer, not a good idea. Otherwise I thought the movie was excellent.
shareAu contraire , my friend.
It ended as it should've ended.
The Hero in this case, gets to be buried where his heart was all his lifetime.
In the dusty plains of a western movie set.
Great for him that he lived his life the way he did, great death scene.
Think about it.
Would you rather have him live and die of old age with tubes in his nose and
sticking out of his liver and pancreas instead of the glorious death of a
gunman?
