Review of Lost and Delirious (2001) by Eric O — 13 Jun 2011
Piper Perabo was amazing as Paulie, and it was an amazing film all around, but with one exception. Why the hell didn't Paulie just go splat at the end? I understand it was supposed to be symbolic, and that the director probably wanted to stay true to the novel, but please.
When people attempt suicide by jumping off tall buildings, they don't turn into birds and fly away. At least last time I checked. Especially when you consider all the references to Shakespeare tragedies in "Lost and Delirious", an actual suicide would have made better sense, and it would have made for a better ending.
Ah who knows, maybe Paulie didn't turn into a bird. Maybe she became Mighty Mouse and flew off to Planet Krypton.
