Was anybody scared Maggie was gonna get hit by a car?


During the scene where Maggie waves to the newly wed Rose as she drives away, I was going crazy thinking that they might try to pull some twist tragic ending to make everything seem deeper or "tragic" or something. I was like "NOOOO!!! GET OFF THE DAMN ROAD!!! OH MY GOOOOOD". They were talking about the damn circle of life and stuff too, that damn thing almost gave me a heart attack. Oh dear Jesus.

I thought the same thing.... Then noticed during Maggie's close up 2 seconds later... the car vanished!! ..... Gotta love bad editing! lol

I figured it was intentional. Just when you thought she was going to get hit, the problem just disappeared for no particular reason, just like all the other problems in her life.

i absolutely pmsl at that bit! I really thought they were going to do it, it would've made the ending hilarious in a really bad way!

totally agree, wouldn't have known if I rated it 1 or 10 then. LOL

Laugh and the world laughs with you. Weep and you weep alone.

yes, was thinking the same, car lights were looking to be quite close, then they just vanished the next scene

reply

LOL I was thinking the same thing, THAT'S why she was looking out the back window for so long as they drove off :P it'd be a bit Scary Movie wouldn't it...

Lol, its so weird...i thought the same. Then it occurred to me that to a movie so light and sweet such tragic ending just can't happen...but it kept on bugging me till she got off the road and back to dancing...

Was watching tonight and yes, my thoughts exactly!

I think the list lights were thrown in for reverse symbolism, since what happened with their mom and her car that time, and that how both of them have grown beyond that circumstance. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

I thought she was going to get hit too!

reply

i was praying she would be hit by a car, and the writers of the movie too

reply

Me too, me too.

reply

amen

Hahahahaha. It's funny because I was joking about the same thing with my girlfriend when we were watching this. I was saying, "What if she gets hit by a car out of the sudden?" I mean, it usually happens with movies. I thought I was alone.

reply

yes !! lmao i thought the same thing
