Confusing Movie Endings


Harrington

Recommended Posts

Warning... potential spoilers.

 

 

 

It's happened to us all.

 

 

 

You've just watched a great movie, but are left feeling confused at the end...

 

 

 

Total Recall - was it all a dream?

 

Contact - was the alien contact real?

 

Planet of the Apes (remake) - was that really set on Earth?

 

etc....

 

 

 

In the case of Planet of the Apes, I can only assume that it wasn't Earth, since the solar system layout was all wrong. I presume the general having seen the potential human technology, had the apes develop their own, use the time rift and attack Earth in it's own past.

 

 

 

In Contact, the 17 hours of blank footage was damning, confirming that it was in fact real.

 

 

 

Total Recall. Pretty sure that was all a dream, but I've no evidence lol.

 

 

 

Got your own opinions or other movie endings you'd like to discuss?

Took me forever to figure out why the aliens dies in War of the Worlds. Once I figured it out though I felt like a complete idiot.

 

 

 

Another one that I just saw a couple of days ago called "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" with Jack Nicholson. At the end, where did the freaking Indian go??? Was Jack Nicholson really crazy?

 

 

 

May think of some more later.

Hmm, may want to do some sort of spoiler warnings here. But if we do, the whole topic would be like that and it could get messy. Maybe best the way you have it.

 

 

 

You're probably right with Planet of the Apes, but who knows. I don't know if an official explanation is out or not.

The movie The Sacrifice was so intriguing - in some parts it kind of bored me, but I was still waiting to see what happens, because it was getting more and more strange. And the ending, which I was so anxiously waiting for, left me looking like this :?: And to top it off this is what a user on imdb says about this movie:

All of these, combine in one's mind's eye and heart to provide the thoughtful viewer with one of the most spiritually satisfying endings of any movie I have ever witnessed.

 

Oh well.

If I recall "Contact" correctly, the movie ends with someone noting that while there was no image evidence of her claims of being on an alien world for 8 hours 'cause there was just static, it was 8 hours of static. Unless I'm thinking of a different movie, the answer would be 'Yes'.

 

 

 

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", hmz... been a while since I saw that one, but I don't think so. He went into a mental ward because it wasn't prison, but he couldn't believe how the patients were treated. They turned the same quite inhumane treatment on him and eventually he just snapped. So not really mad, just temporarily enraged.

any stanley kubrick film.

 

 

 

Uh?

 

 

 

Yeah I didn't understand that either. The only one that would be confusing is 2001, but it's not if you read the book. All the others are straight forward.

 

 

 

Donnie Darko?

 

 

 

Make sure you watch the director's cut version, and make sure to read the chapters that come out of the Philosophy of Time Travel. It's all pretty straight forward then. But a very quick explanation: [hide]Majority of the movie takes place in a tangent universe. Donnie has to sacrifice himself to stop the tangent universe from destroying the primary universe.[/hide]

I know exactly what you're talking about, and I'm pretty sure it was Contact. But how is that confusing? Makes sense to me.

Yeah, but the point of the movie was that it was trying to compare people who believe in aliens to those of extreme religious dispositions.

 

 

 

Religious folk believe in the existence of God despite the complete lack of proof. Jodie Foster's character makes a big deal about this. It's supposed to be ironic that when she finally meets aliens, that she has no proof and scientists now need "faith".

I've seen a lot of his movies so far. I think 11 or 12. They all had an easily understood ending, except for 2001 like I mentioned earlier.
