Yep. I hated it. I didn't find the girl super likable or well developed, the fashion was so far out there it was awful. It felt like there was very little character development there, we are meant to take her as a "chatty Cathy" but it doesn't seem that way. She's not that quick of a talker or that much of one. Likewise there is little reason to believe she hated the guy- he wasn't super developed either. Seemed like they hated / endured each other and then it switched all of the sudden. The male character had a chance to grow but didn't. It could have foreshadowed the ending better, (Scenes where she walks in and he IS in pain and hides it after he notices her, or times when he's a little crabby to other people and she brushes it off) I didn't find his decision that inline with the man that was portrayed, making him a hypocrite when he tells Clark to go on and live her life to the fullest.
There are several themes made by the ending that I fully disagree with. 1. If you're in enough pain, it's OK to kill yourself. 2. Its better to die than to be a burden. 3. You can choose to die, it's not selfish, and after a month, the girl you had WATCH your death will be totally OK and without grief. 4. If all else fails, give said girl a trust fund and you can buy her happiness, and she won't grieve anymore. 5. Death is romantic.
Yes, you can say it's up to the viewer to decide to take out of it, but these themes were implied by Clark's lack of remorse or sadness at the end. There are reviewers that say it highlights the joy of living and it is only the male that goes against them, but the happy way the end was portrayed discredits the highlights given.
The few things I did like: The castle and rich people house and quality of film was OK.
