This is probably so far-removed from the time of the original post that no one will read it, but I feel compelled to say it, anyhow.
Remember in Clerks when Dante championed the "down note" ending of The Empire Strikes Back? Well, it seems to me that the end of Amy is Kevin's attempt to convey the same sort of feeling. I felt it at ten years old, when the strings swelled and the medical frigate slowly floated away and Luke in the gang shrank into the distance. I felt the same way when Holden walked out of the con, away from the two most important people in his life. Except this time, I cried.
