Rosaline Movie Ending Explained: There’s humor in everything, it just takes the right eye to discover it and in one of the greatest tragedies that came out of the quills of William Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet still comes first when talked about the stories of star-crossed lovers that fell prey to the society.
While Romeo & Juliet has been adapted into a lot of films and drama, HULU comes with a surprisingly new take on the whole tragedy and makes it feel like a wholesome take on it making it a rom-com which in turn is based on a Young Adult novel of the title “When You Were Mine” by Rebecca Serle.
Rosaline is the story about that girl to whom Romeo says “I Love you” before he met Juliet and what came as we know it. The film stars Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, Kyle Allen, Bradley Whitford, and Minnie Driver and tells the story from the perspective of Rosaline who after getting ghosted by Romeo tries to stray away Juliet away from Romeo in her desperate attempt to win Romeo back while at the same time being pursued by the man that by all qualities is perfect for her but her short-sightedness doesn’t allow her to recognize what’s in front of her.
The ending of the film is refreshing because we all know what happens at the end of Romeo & Juliet is that they both die but in the movie, Rosaline & Dario are able to make good use of that by stopping Romeo from drinking poison and then faking his death in front of their families who have been at each other’s throats delivering a speech that unites them after sharing a common loss.
In the end, Rosaline & Dario bid adieu to Romeo & Juliet after they leave for another place via boat and Dario & Rosaline find love in each other.
But then we see the conversation between Romeo & Juliet as they are sailing together when Romeo starts to ask questions that make it seem like they both do not know much about each other and once they start to ask those questions, it gets awkward because what one likes, the other does not but they’ve got a lifetime together to figure that out, don’t they?
