I think that The Last Battle is the book with the happiest ending when everyone dies at the end lol

Seriously, can you think of any other novel that has everyone die at the end, but has a happy ending? A happier ending than this one?
 
I cried at the end of LB, it was happy but kind of sad at the same time. It reminded me of....

**HP SPOILERS!!**




















....when Harry "died" in HP7 and was in that strange place.
 
There is a similar mood in the ending of the classic Bible-related movie "THE ROBE." The hero and heroine go to their death as Christian martyrs, and you get to see them walking up into Heaven.
 
In the movie Pan's Labrinth, *** SPOILERS*** the little girl dies, and as CF said about The Robe, you actually see her going to her eternal home, her real place.

But it was much more happier, to me, in TLB. Because they found all their old friends ... it was such a feeling of wonder.
 
I do! For one thing the misery of this world will be over and for another I'd rather have judgement dealt out by HIS hands than a standing ovation by those who are in charge now.
I used to say the old prayer hour of the monasteries, the complet, for some time every evening before going to bed and it quotes Revelation 22,4ff every saturday-night and then end with the blessing "a good night and a good ending grant to us God Almighty". I found that ever such a good way to end a day.

I love the ending of that movie especially when Marcellus's girl choses to go with him. Did you know the movie is based on a novel; as is always the case, the book is better than the movie though I like the seemingly random choice of hers in the movie better than the more thought out choice in the novel. But I digress.

I would have to agree that you don't get a happier end than the end of LB, not any one can sit there and make every character (aside from Susan) die and still have it a happy ending, Lewis deserves props.
 
The very end, when they meet all thier old friends, and are in the New Narnia is so happy and so.....sad at the same time. It's weird. Sometimes things are so happy that they're sad, and they make you get choked up, even as you're smiling, ya know?
 
I think that Tash is very very scary!:eek: But I love the mystery of it all and Puzzle is very cute!:rolleyes: TLB is a book with many emotions. i love it!:D
