They directly challenged the "rules of the game" too, which seems to be the greater metaphor. Love is impossible to control, and it set them free.

Icaro, yep that's the "happy ending" that gives the audience what it needs. You might be a rare one who could follow in the direction of truth to your soul. However, most humans are still afraid of "death" because of this they would not be able to proceed in souls truth as she did.
Deep inside the masses beyond the Love metaphor, the story leaves one not with hope and love as the active element but an underlying sense of fear which allows for more subliminal control. I bet if you asked around most watchers would say they had weird and icky dreams after watching it, not dreams about hope and love.
Politics, movies and media are micro-managed from the spirit realm or worlds, beyond what we can see here (you might be shocked to know how many people can be instantly controlled and influenced in any given moment)! When a veil starts to drop and something begins to become known --such as vampires for example, then stories/movies/tv-shows are offered up. As they are explained away as fiction they loose their momentum towards more unveiling.
Fortunately there is always potentials for catalysts for opening towards internal change as well if one confronts themselves.

Definitely agree on that! And that is what people DO want, extravagant fantasy. This is what they are ASKING for and what they externally want. If you took a peek at most peoples vision boards what do you think would be on it?? I highly doubt most want to know how to LOVE as Fully as possible or to synchronize with their Deepest Souls Desires; or to Open in expressive Truth with their Partners. They aren't asking for Inspiration or to be fully Empowered. For the most part they are asking for Tangible, external stuff.
