Sappy ending意思

"Sappy ending" is an English phrase that describes a conclusion to a story, film, or other narrative that is overly sentimental or emotionally manipulative, often to the point of being considered insincere or contrived. The word "sappy" in this context means excessively emotional or mawkishly sentimental.

A sappy ending can involve a resolution that is too neatly tied up, with all conflicts resolved and characters experiencing a level of happiness that seems unrealistic or forced. It may include scenes where characters have tearful reunions, declarations of love, or other moments designed to evoke strong emotions from the audience, but which can feel unearned or overly simplistic.

The term is often used in a critical or dismissive manner by those who prefer more nuanced, complex, or realistic endings to their stories. However, sappy endings can still be popular and satisfying for audiences who enjoy a feel-good resolution to the narrative.
