Harrington Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 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.

Diesel Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 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. Last.Fm My Bloggy Proud to have served on Tip.it Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 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.

blushenka Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 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. "Metal isn't about violence or faggy whiny lyrics. It isn't even about who plays the heaviest and fastest. It is about invoking a sense of wonder and magnitude that no other genre can depict." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueTear Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 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. -This message was deviously brought to you by: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy500fan Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrington Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 2001: A Space Oddessey [/thread] Been a while since I've seen that one, but wasn't it just a bunch of aliens converting Jupiter's mass into a fussionable material and creating a new mini-star system with our own, for them to inhabit?

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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
