2012 and 1403 the comparisons of John Cusac and the movies too

Movie: 1403

John: Writer turned depressed looking for ghosts and life after death who wrote one amazing book then became a literacy joke

This movie goes that he and his wife lose their daughter and he loses his will to live. It is not until the evil room he stays in tries to kill him and he realises in the end his mistakes and had he lived he would have gotten back together with the wife he loved.

Movie: 2012

John: Writer who is considered an "unabashed optimist" writing a book hardly anyone bought

2012 is the "End Of The World" movie where he loses his family because he blocked them out while he wrote, their family ends up coming back together due to an extremely crazy situation. She did meet someone else, but he got killed off shortly after his specific skillset was no longer relevant.

What I got from these movies watching his characters?
Being a pessimist got him dead and being an optimist allowed him to get his family back. Moral of the story, be happy because being sad makes you dead!

I know both of these movies are horribly bad, but I love them just the same. If that makes me crazy, so be it.
