And this is my point. While I didn&#x27;t particularly enjoy the movie (I was in middle school at the time, it got old fast when all the girls wouldn&#x27;t stop talking about it), it keeps you engaged and so the moment that that happens can still come as a surprise or jolt. You&#x27;ve been engaged by the rest of the story. Knowing the last few minutes of that movie does not change the drama of the relationships between the characters, and that drama is the point of the movie, not the way it ends, but the way it carries out.<p>Spoiler alert: Everybody will die eventually. That doesn&#x27;t mean the journey from birth to death is pointless now that you know the outcome. Everything that happens in between is the part that matters. The same is true for good stories.
