Why do you refer to Mr. Yelchin as an "awkward, effete man-child?" I certainly didn't see those traits in this film. Have you seen any of his other work?
I don't think there is a miscast here. There's a 33-yr-old woman who is attracted a 24-yr-old man. This kind of thing happens a lot in this world. The BIG difference here is that true love is shared by these two "crazy kids."
And when you use phrases like "No way," well, that's what I refer to as a global statement, i.e. a statement that applies to everyone on the planet. How could you (or I, or anyone) possibly know that? You state it as a fact as well. You need some global scientific evidence to back that up. Hard to come by.
Sorry that the conclusion of the movie confused you. Here's a synopsis:
Brian asked Arielle to marry him. She said yes, thought about it later, and changed her mind. It broke his heart, but luckily he had his good friend Jane there for him. His misery over losing Arielle pushed him to write his first novel, which Jane's company published. Later he got married and had a son. They all met by chance at the entrance to the museum, where Arielle took off her glove, revealing that she was wearing his ring. Valery stated that he had enjoyed "all" Brian's books, indicating that he had become a very successful writer. They parted.
This was the most moving, and heart-breaking I might add, romantic story I have ever seen. I'm not ashamed to say that it moved me to tears (but don't tell anyone). For me the ending was so poignant, how could it possibly be, as you describe, a "haphazard montage of an ending" that "was bizarre and confusing?" Not at all.
Not for me, anyway.
Ah, amour.
Actors do not have a job...they have a blast!
