Cloud is weak. I don't mean weak as in physically unable. I mean weak, like an actual human being.
When kids think of their heroes, they think of cool superhuman people that have no weakness, or maybe just one, but it's more of a quirk then a real weakness. But this movie shows that Cloud has many weaknesses. The happier he gets, the lonelier he becomes. He doesn't want to lose it all again. But in the end, he picks up his sword, and fights. He is a true hero in my eyes.
And the ending scene, where Cloud is standing in the Lifesteam-infused water in Aerith's church, when he smiles, and sees Zack and Aerith, he truly feels forgiven. He knows that everything will be okay.
That ending always gave me a fuzzy feeling, and now I finally know why. The movie makes me feel lighter. Like a weight of guilt's been lifted off my chest, even though I have nothing to feel overly guilty for.
I just had to post that crock of s**t somewhere.... sorry if I wasted your time.
