What is the matter with the endings?

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2004)

Why is some people so hung up with the endings? This is not a movie with a "Hollywood" ending. It actually ends like most things end in real life. With someone who "knew in his mind" who the guilty was, built a "coalition of the willing," committed what many think is a crime, gets away with it, and still gets high approval rates from members of his household. And when confronted with the fact that he was wrong, he gets even more support, and shows no sign of remorse.
Do you know of similar thing happening in real life?
