BUMPS THREAD
Anyone know what the ending truly was??
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

Does anyone know for SURE just what Sara did?! Did she jump off the bridge, run off, or go home to her family??!!
If she went home, why go to the trouble of showing the bridge?
Has anyone ever read any interviews or heard commentary from the film?

I cry each time i see the endingit's my fave romance movie!

I cried. I cried when I saw the first one. I think the older version made it clearer that the girl had a year to live. She decided to spend the last year of her life helping people learn to live. One per month. It is pretty clear she's close to the end of her journey- I totally get that she wants him to remember her as she was.

Hahahaha yeah the entire movie makes me cry is just so beautiful but at the same time sad

I cried too although I am a gay man although I never could be able to touch the real love
I liked "Sweet November" very much!!! :S
Even if I dissaprove what you think! I will defend your right to say it!

For me it was obvious that she jumped off that ramp. Hovewer less obvious was, why he just walked away? I guess it was better ending than scene where he is standing above her dead corpse.Correct me if im wrong please.

I believe that what she actually said was that she was "going home" - meaning, as swayedbytrinkets suggested, that she was going to die and would go to heaven, where they were waiting for her.
Thank you!! I'm kind of surprised people think anything else than she was going to commit suicide! It seemed evident to me, as she stated that "Its starting to happen" meaning the intense suffering had begun and she didn't want to experience that or make Nelson watch it. She is 'going home', meaning she is thinking of heaven. And "They know I"m coming" I took as meaning angels, lost loved ones or whomever she believes is in heaven waiting to care for her.
And I never believed she was going to her family, as she runs out of her house in her pajamas, with no purse and no money. And Nelson and Sara are way too upset for her simply returning to her family. She ties the scarf around his head so he doesn't have to watch her as she walks away, to commit suicide.

I believe that she knew she was dying all along thats why there was an "October".Most likely there was a September,an August,so on and so forth.She was trying to change a guy a month until she died.
i may be right,i may be crazy,but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for

I'm the same way as you. Some people only want you to remember the way they once were. I'd always remember that so i'd rather have as much time as I can with them. So i think they are kinda being selfish.
Yet, you have to respect someone's wishes in a situation like that, no matter how tough it is.

You know my ex loved this movie to death and I who tends to like a good chick flick gave it the befefit of the doubt. I really really wanted to like it, and after it was over and the sobbing (my ex) was profuse I lied and said it was great.
In all honesty I hated the ending, she ran off leaving him wondering how she was when she passed and never really achieving closure. I thought it was such a cowardly act. Now before you flame me, my mother's boyfriend who I believed would most likely become my step father ran off to die without a word when he found out he had terminal cancer. I loved the guy more than my biological father, and to this day I feel no closure with his death.
To me that ending just ruined what was a mildly charming saturday afternoon flick. It just felt like such a major cop out on her part.

I believe that what she actually said was that she was "going home" - meaning, as swayedbytrinkets suggested, that she was going to die and would go to heaven, where they were waiting for her.

When she said she was going to her family (those who were waiting for her in heaven), they were expecting her that meant she was ready to die. Not that she was physically going home to her family
Because she wasn't even speaking to her sister.
Dude, I'm Matlock

would not like to begin my reply with the word "I".
Actually this movie again aroused the emotional me that I try to forget sometimes. And this again made me cry when I remembered all the questions that I asl my self.why such separation, pain ?Will I ever find such good people..andif I find them will I be able to figure them out before its late..

I balled like a baby.

Like what claudiuseven said, just before she ties her scarf over his eyes, she tells him that she's going home, back to her family. I just saw the movie for the first time and I don't understand why some people believe she jumped from the bridge, etc. She wants to be with him but can't at the same time because she's dying and it is more evident now than before. See how sick she was and getting pale towards the end of the movie? All she wants is for him to remember the good times they had together, not when she's laying on her death bed. And as for Nelson not going after her, he did with the scarf over his eyes but only later realizing after removing the scarf that she's not there and he has to move on with his life with only the good memories he had with Sara.

It is a good movie and i agree that the ending made me cry bcos i wanted the relationship between Nelson Moss and Sarah Deever to continue but unfortunately that didn't happen. They broke-up in the last scene and more than their break-up the uncertainity about Sarah Deever(whether she is dead or alive) at the end is what that is causing me a lot of pain to tears. The background music during the last scene also haunted me more when i saw the climax and it created an impact on me.

In what scene did she talk about going to her family? Was it out on the bridge on the last scene???
I've seen this movie a few times and never heard her say she was going to her family.
She said "It's starting to happen.." which I assumed meant she died. I always got the impression she must've gone and died in some alley way somewhere!! Horrible.. but that's what I thought must've happened.. that's how I interpreted it. I REALLY hope I'm wrong!!

SPOILER
I THOUGHT she died at the end, wasn't that the whole point of her telling him not to look for her because she was going to DIE.

Man I was just bawling at the end; seriously..my nose went all snotty and I couldn't breathe propli..
