Happy ending?  Upon rewatching (and reflecting on) the end of the film, how would you characterize it?  If Ben was concerned about his future at the beginning of the film, worried that he wanted it to be "different," then what does the end of the film seem to be saying?  While no words are exchanged over the last five minutes of the film, what do the looks and faces of Ben and Elaine tell us?
