I'm one of those people that reads the end of a book first also. It doesn't spoil it for me, rather I'm prepared if I was hoping for a happy ending....which for this film, I assume they don't stay together
shareAt the end of the film, Tom finds out that he looks exactly like her late husband. They don't stay together... and
It forwards to a year later and she's appeared to moved on. Then she gets a piece of mail, inviting her to Toms memorial. She goes to his memorial and sees a picture he painted of her. She looks happy. The end.
That is the most ridiculous thing I've read for a long time, wanting to know the ending of a film before you go and see it. Books as well. I'm sorry, but you are a sad pathetic creature. In this case the film is awful so it doesn't really matter how it ends.

wow that's retarded
shareThis is not a joke or an insult; I say this with sincerity.
You should consider speaking with a therapist (psychologist). What you describe is fear-based within your need to control the unpredictable in life - which is most everything, including the entertaining world of books and movies.
In order to properly function in a chaotic real-world, you will need to function in a linear time fashion with unpredictability as a norm...because that is life.
By catering to your irrational fear-based need to intercept information that was intended to be revealed at the author's discretion - not yours or mine - you may inadvertently make real life more difficult as it inescapably becomes very complex at times.
As this is in direct opposition of your intention to expect an outcome, you will feel even more helpless, dissatisfied, and fearful than you otherwise would have experienced, had you not felt a compulsive need to know the future before the present has occurred and played out.
Let the quirky crutch go. Not knowing is often most of the fun. Hope is based on not knowing. Like the old expression states: It isn't the destination that is important, it is the journey. :)

sharedafuq. I used to be like that as a kid. Always read the last sentence of a book first, and then sometimes even the last few pages. Nowadays I'll still almost always read the very last sentence, but not much else since I don't want to spoil the ride. I guess it's like, I know now that certain stories are better played out how the author/movie-maker intended than me jumping ahead and knowing. maybe you're right, there's some psychological thing...I didn't want to be unprepared and I used to like knowing where it was going so I could see how it gets there. But I don't think it's therapy-worthy!!
And who knows, maybe because real life IS so chaotic and out of our control, and some people are more sensitive to chaos than others, they like to have a sense of control over things that they can control, like a story/movie. I mean it's not doing any harm to read the ending first except that you might be missing out on some cool intended shock value or whatever an author might have intended.
