Quote by Nora Ephron
It struck me that the movies had spent more than half a century saying, They lived happily ever after and the following quarter-century warning that they'll be lucky to make it through the weekend. Possibly now we are now entering a third era in which the movies will be sounding a note of cautious optimism: You know it just might work.
Summary
This quote reflects on the changing narrative and tone of movies over time. It suggests that for a long period, films portrayed a fairy tale-like ending, followed by a shift towards stories that emphasized the fragility and uncertainty of relationships. However, it proposes that we may now be in a new era where movies are shifting towards a more hopeful perspective, amplifying the idea that things might actually work out in the end.
