I watched My Brilliant Career today. And-Gahhhh! I have never seen a worse movie ending in my ENTIRE life. WHY? I was loving the movie right up until the last 15 minutes, and then as it slowly dawned, horrifyingly, on me that it was going to end momentarily, I was like what? WHAT? WHAT????? Noooooo! Absolutely RUINED the movie for me-I am so angry

Which season of VM are you watching? Because her bf changes.

Prior to S1 she was with Duncan, then she dated two other people in early S1 (Troy and Leo) and late in S1 got together with Logan. And S2 went from there.

And oh boy. Amen on Logan-Duncan comparison.

I haven't seen My Brilliant Career, nor have I read it. It's considered one of the 'Great Australian Books', though. Our biggest literary award is named after the author, Miles Davis. The story is semi-autobiographical; Davis was in her late teens when she wrote it. She wrote a sequal too - My Career Goes Bung - but it wasn't published until many years later, because it was a bit risque, apparently.
I just did a bit of digging for you - Movie Sybylla isn't as comical as Book Sybylla. I haven't found anything about the similarity or not of the endings, though.

AH! One of my favourite films!!!! But yes, I absolutely agree with the ending. *sigh* But I suppose I have gotten used to it, with certain c.d. I have seen. I like to 'change' the ending myself. Haha. :D If you like Judy David I highly recommend 'A Passage to India' and 'Impromptu'. Both costume dramas {of course!} if you have not seen them. She is a brilliant actress.
