The movie tries to make a "racist" character sympathetic. Can you think of any other form of media that's done that in the past twenty years?
That's what so ironic. Cinemaphile blew their lid at muh stronk womyn, muh Oscar bait, muh anti police rhetoric but the movie was the most redpilled theatrical release in ages.
>Can you think of any other form of media that's done that in the past twenty years?
Crash?
Hmm, dunno if the cop is racist if he was rapey with a black woman
They're two thoroughly unlikable people, sitting in a car together, both incredibly bigoted and unreasonable, but just in different ways. One is a cop who abuses his power, another is someone who fights the cops and becomes powerful, but she of course abuses her power as well.
They're sitting in the car together, plotting their vague revenge fantasies, because really, they belong together. In fact, they're practically the same person, it doesn't matter what they're backgrounds are or who did what to whom in the story, the end result is they're both equally detestable, corrupt people.
It's a pretty strong message, just because you "fight corruption" and in doing so you totally corrupt yourself and use the same wrong tactics you claim others do, that doesn't make you good, it means you're just as bad as them. It doesn't even matter if you have a good reason to do so, you still just become another corrupt, angry, person who's damaging the world instead of helping it.
That’s pretty cynical. To me it was just two heartbroken people grasping for anything to ease their pain in an unfair world where the good die and killers go free
Giving the "racist cop" a redemption arc was the whole point of the movie you dumbass. If the entire thing had been "all cops bad, crazy liberal white lady good" it would have been an absolute shit movie.
Because fight club is a twist you don't see coming even though the signs are all there which makes for compelling rewatches. Shutter Island gives away the twist in the very first scene 2 minutes into the movie - the entire thing is telegraphed over and over again and is so obvious it's not even a twist. Even if you think you didn't see it coming, you did.
Shutter Island was neither of those things, the whole thing was just orchestrated to fit his delusions but it was almost all actually happening even if it was just a roleplay.
>Saw trailer in cinema when I was like 15 >Told my friend sitting next to me "I bet he's actually the patient or whatever" >It comes out >Hear I was right >Never bother to watch it
This isn't a brag or anything, it was moronicly obvious. Just never saw the point in watching it if the twist was so easy to guess.
>the monsters aren't real and are made up to control people
ugh, contrived and stupid >it's set in modern times in a nature reserve
okay see now that is fricking kino, why does a moronic twit and some soiboi leadership have to be the central plot? make the fricking monsters helicopters and lost drunken teens, and reveal the village has been murdering the teens or some shit
>we live inside a dream
you mean the twist explicitly stated verbatim in fire walk with me (1992)?
the twist not just hinted at but outright told to the audience 25 years prior by david bowie in a funny voice?
do you mean that twist ending?
>2 days after release >Commercials talking about "A twist ending you won't believe!" >Literally no twist possibility other than the island doesn't exist, or he's crazy, but that's basically both him being crazy
I hate shit like that
For me it's knowing there's going to be a twist that ruins the experience. Just keep it to yourself and promote the movie as if the test of it is the important part

Did the same, also predicted The Village, never bothered watching either.

will he though? it kinda establishes that there are multiple timelines/universes and that he fails in most of them
if anything he's just like a normal guy again, trapped in one dimension/timeline
Came to post this. The freeze frame train scene was fricking obviously meant to be the original ending but a "happy" end had to be tacked on, despite the fact he effectively murders the teacher dude and takes over his body.
>BRO, SOME GRAVELLY VOICED D00D WITH A PET BUNNY AND HIS BLACK GIRLFRIEND TOOK DOWN THE ZODIAC!
Cinemaphile was the friend that recommended this shit in my case, same as Three Billboards. This board is big on that "4D Chess" directorial cope shit when it comes to movies that look good but are ultimately vacuous power fantasies...it's why they love Tarantino so much.
I dont think much of the morons who scream filtered about shitty films but I do unironically think if you didnt get sunshine's horror preamble which are subtle to be fair then it did filter you
I thought it had horror elements throughout, I just think manifesting them in some guy who both wasn't very scary and some really forgettable ramblings wasn't necessary. Space is already scarier than some crazy guy with his skin falling off could ever be, and the movie did a fine job capturing that before it opted to make that guy the focus.
it would be a nothing movie if it was just some dumb space mission and nothing happens and secondly pinbacker was the payoff to the set up of the 'what do you see kaneda' guy's' morbid sun fetishism/curiosity. it's kinda like a space madness/cosmic horror theme
>NOOOOOOOOOOO! WHY IS THE RACIST COP GOOD?!!!
t. leftist
dumb zoomer. my grandfather was a literal luftwaffe nazi
Plenty was happening before he showed up and I don't see any reason it couldn't have been eventful without him either. Just having the crew desperately trying to finish the mission as they lose more people and run into more problems trying to manage the ship was a lot more compelling than the stuff with Pinbacker and moments like the guy freezing in space was a lot more horrifying than a guy with his skin falling off chokelifting Murphy's character. I actually do like the cosmic horror and mad scholar themes in theory, so I can imagine how it would have worked, but it didn't work here for me. I have read that the original script of the film leaned more into theological discussion and Boyle trimmed it down, and if that's true then I can imagine how Pinbacker would have fit better, but as the film is now he just doesn't work for me. He didn't interest me, and with his actual character not winning me over all that was left to make up for it was how well he worked as a mechanic for the horror aspect of the movie, and I found him worse in that regard than the horror of space itself and the sun.
it's a fair take, I wonder if it was one of those less is more situations though. as for the plot when pinbacker shows up the mission is almost complete, the remaining crew is pretty much either gonna die completing the mission or if they dont frick up they make it back with barely enough oxygen (iirc) and without pinbacker the plot is basically the same as The Core which I cant see as preferable.
just one of the crewmembers turning antagonist trying to sabotage them would have been a better choice, maybe something happens that leads to them believing earth population has collapsed and died out during their journey, that could have sparked an interesting conflict as well with part of the crew wanting to continue their mission because they still have hope and the rest just not seeing the point in dying as well attempting to stop it? Would have made sense and doesnt require a teen-horror villain to show up.
was way better as a psychological thriller than it was as a slasher, the captain getting obliterated by the sun with the psychologist screaming WHAT DO YOU SEE KANEDA? is pure kino
The scene where they first explore the empty ship and the crew's faces are flashing on the screen is one of the most most unsettling and unique scenes I've seen in a horror movie. Legitimately thought there was something wrong with my copy at first. But yeah, really weird how it decided to become a slasher. Still enjoyed it a lot.
You know that trope in american movies where a character may be a scumbag, a liar, a thief, a killer, and an overall awful person but he's NOT a racist and that makes him sympathetic to redditors? This movie is the opposite of that. It's impressive it was made at all. There's no way Hollywood would green light it nowadays.
28 days later should have ended by the gang having to put down dad. The moment the soldiers show up and it goes from being about zombies to being about muh rape and how the redditor white knight pulls a dumb anime tier stunt and defeats them with facts and logic so he can beg the qt negress for a crumb of pussy it completely loses me.
Really? I liked how he had to become like the infected and go full feral when facing a life and death situation. He even looks like the infected by the end
i liked it too but "we haven't had pussy in FOUR WEEKS so we're gonna rape the first chick we see" plot is stupid and some kind of generic "the soldiers have gone mad with power and isolation and are murderous" would have been preferable to what we got
>"we haven't had pussy in FOUR WEEKS so we're gonna rape the first chick we see" plot
More like "The commandant is fricking nuts and wants some way to motivate the men not to kill themselves, so he comes up with the idea of getting women to rape". Is it really that far fetched to you that a bunch of soldiers in the post-apocalypse would really, really want some women to rape?
Solaris is such a piece of trash thst even Tarkovsky considered it a failed project. He only made Stalker because he felt he failed so badly at science fiction with Solaris that he had to try it again.
For me the star child is just the easiest way Kubrick could visual represent humanity's evolution to the next stage of sentience - a literal rebirthing
There are many different interpretations of the star child, that's not the problem. The problem is that representing it as a floating space baby looks ridiculous. This is one of my favorite movies of all time but I wish Kubrick had thought about the ending a bit more.
I can understand the reasoning behind your objection but realistically what other way could he have shown that this being was the next evolution of man?
There are many different interpretations of the star child, that's not the problem. The problem is that representing it as a floating space baby looks ridiculous. This is one of my favorite movies of all time but I wish Kubrick had thought about the ending a bit more.
yeah I also have a love/ hate relationship with the star baby. The message of 2001 is amazing but the execution of the baby is ridiculous and just makes me laugh. Idk how else that message could've been conveyed though.
I do sorta wish the end was him not appreciating the whole thing, getting mad ptsd, suing the everliving frick out of them and ny sheer coincidence more weird things happen so he never thinks hes outta the game. Turns into basically sarah o conner
I never saw this, but I heard people raving about the cinematography. What the frick. This look like shit. The gamma is absolutely botched. You can get a better color grading by using some russian luts.
>absolute peak "AI taking over and bettering humanity" Kino >Humans desperate to SHUT IT DOWN >Last 20 minutes is basically "fine I'll just stop because Le humans said so, okay?"
the movie costed too much, was bad and a commercial flop,worse is that he's still trying to be a director but now he can't even return to nolan because he has better people in the pool.
In the first one Woody lost protagonism as Andy favourite toy and is something he has to face
In the fourth one Woody lost protagonism as the new girl favourite toy and he left his friends because he want to be a leader with his gf.
Pixard lost his touch
It’s ok to retire though you really don’t have to follow around some kid forever who doesn’t even need you. Woody meant a lot to Andy as a kid but he didn’t mean anything to Bonnie, any sticking around for work’s sake is just Woody spinning his wheels because he likes to feel wanted, when he literally isn’t
The first three films presented the toys' relationship to kids as more than just work -- it seemed more metaphorical for having a purpose in life generally along with making human connections, loving, and being loved. So having the main toy just go "frick it, I'm out" in the fourth movie reads more like checking out of life/relationships as a whole rather than just retiring from a job, which I think conflicts with thematic core of 1-3. Or at least that's my problem with it.
Not him, but I was also, let's say, "dissatisfied" with the ending. It didn't ruin the film by any stretch but it was easily the weakest part. To be fair, I think it would be extremely hard to come up with a truly satisfying ending, but still.
>10/10 peak kino >ruined by unnecessary ending that beat you over the head with le one last chase >should have ended when Neil got back to the car and spots Vincent >as Neil starts to run and Edie realizes what's happening, fade to black
At least here the audience can guess based on what they just saw if Neil gets away or not (9x10 he's not getting away but the what if? is what makes a good ending)
Uh, if you don't recognize this you need to take a serious look at your movie-tastes. It's even up for free in HD on youtube on the Directors personAL channel.
>demons are real >The people they killed were literally demons >the fricking axe and garden gloves literally came from an angel >Every horrible thing they did was fully ordained by God. >Go to church and stop thinking for yourself
The fact that it all turned out to be real was the best thing that the movie could have done. Otherwise it would have just been some bog-standard murder movie
I mean you're absolutely right, it's just that it kind of throws all of the discomfort and skepticism you've had back throughout the entire runtime back in your face and calls you a moronic homosexual for having entertained the notion that there's no way they would actually resolve the mystery THAT way. It's surprising not because it comes at you from out of left field, but because the more horrible things you've watched happen, the more you're convinced there's just no way for them to backpedal and do the twist. But then they do it and your jaw drops to the floor and the dude knocks up his wife, becomes the sheriff and it's almost like they're leaving it open for a sequel. It's an insane movie.
Shit from start to finish. Single most overrated director working, other than Nolan. His brother is better than him - this manipulative overwrought homosexual isn’t even the best director in his fricking family
I think Ari Aster is the most overrated director working, I haven't seen his older stuff but Midsommar and Hereditary were really unremarkable for all the praise they got in my opinion.
I’d agree Aster is overhyped, Hereditary felt fresh but I’ve got no desire to ever watch Midsommar again. My problem with McDonuts is that it’s self-regarding Oscar bait, not as funny as it thinks it is, and exploits serious topics (rape, murder by immolation, terminal illness and suicide, all in one movie!!) without doing anything at all interesting. Three Billboards feels more like a series of tear-jerking insurance ads than a movie. Frick I hate it so much anons
Didn't it just end with Jamie Foxx winning and going to his daughter's concert? I don't remember feeling it was a rug pull ending but I only vaguely remember it.
I think it's how contrived it felt, combined with the fact that Jamie Foxx doesn't really change after the fact he's essentially proved the villain right and killed a criminal or whatever, been a while since I watched it.
they find Butler's last bomb and sneak it into the prison so they can blow him up with it. It is the most moronic thing I have ever seen in a film and its pretty much a solid 7/10 right up til that point.
I think it's how contrived it felt, combined with the fact that Jamie Foxx doesn't really change after the fact he's essentially proved the villain right and killed a criminal or whatever, been a while since I watched it.
i honestly find the idea that Foxx threw a fit at the idea that Butler wins over his character in the end and demanding a rewrite more plausible than anything else.
It sounds like the kind of petty bullshit he would pull.
This movie became shit the second he killed the lady lawyer. Would've been kino if he only killed the bad guys and corrupt people, but killing innocents makes him a gay
>the guy trying to claim that it's a secret message about how the moon landings were faked >says that the only anagram for "room n." is moon >mfw moron is actually a real anagram
yellowbrickroad (2010) this movie wasn't anything special for a horror film but that ending felt like a cop out to answer a mystery that didn't need to be solved
he did. but he's not using it there, thats his normal nano suit. The hulk got hurt using the big glove because he tried to do something that broke causality
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon has a pretty shit ending. So does I am Legend and Titanic
Shit movie but I liked the part where she was going sjw nice on the police for targeting heckin Black personinos when statistically based on geography and demographics there's a 95 percent chance a black guy raped and murdered her daughter.
The Number 23 starring Jim Carrey.
It was an interesting flick, the cinematography was fun, the premise was somewhat lackluster but made interesting by the cast and the plot, but the ending absolutely kills it.
The last 20 minutes are a fairytale fabricated by the MC's brain after he got caught by precrime and sent to a containment zone.
The warden even says something like "it makes you see things, like all your dreams coming to life"
After that, every conflict in the film gets resolved in the most simplistic way.
First two thirds are brilliant, all the tension, the horror of remaining a family unit after a tragedy, guilt, shame, blame all bubbling under the surface.
Then it devolves into paint by numbers spookiness, shock shlock, and overdone cult nonsense.
This. I fricking hate Hereditary's shit ending. The entire movie is very slow and mild and then the last 10 minutes is just them throwing everything at the fricking wall and bumping things up too fast too quick. It just goes from "Oh hey a cup moved" to "THE DAD IS ON FIRE AND THE MOM IS ON THE CEILING AND THERE'S NAKED PEOPLE IN THE ATTIC AND THE MOM IS CUTTING HER HEAD OFF AND THE SON JUMPS OUT THE WINDOW AND THE MOM FLOATS INTO THE TREEHOUSE AND THE TREEHOUSE IS FULL OF NAKED PEOPLE AND THE DAUGHTER IS NOW IN THE SON'S BODY AND IS NOW THE DEMON KING ALL RISE". It's moronic And it happens so fricking fast. No buildup at all.
I thought the ending would 100% be a reveal that Henry knew all along it was a ploy, and he was simply taking advantage of it to secure France's obedience and expand. Giving up his true friend for his ambitions. Then it ends with his new wife chastising him for being a moron and telling him he'll have to earn her and all along he really was just a gullible moron. Was that how it played out in the play?
the whole point of the film was that he didn't really want to be king and thus got played by people who wanted to use him as a tool - that's the whole point. his story is supposed to be tragic, especially cause it costs him his closest friend
i loved this movie's first act >oh man oh geez our house is haunted >let's move
a guy in the theatre yelled THANK YOU and then when they're told that the kid is haunted he was like MAN WHAT A RIP
>Even Kevin Smith knew better than to kill Randall in Clerks
Except he didn't know better. That was in the script originally until someone read it and told him how moronic it was.
Jacob's Ladder is peak ruined ending.
The entire movie spells out that he's dead but sure go ahead and show him actually dying and to top it off let's even show him ascending to heaven.
Absolute trash.
To its credit, Jacob's Ladder was one of the earlier movies to use "It's all a dying dream" tropes, even though it was way on the nose. Plus it directly influenced Silent Hill 2 which landed both the main story and the ending.
i think it works for JL's sake, just this once.
It was unique at the time, and the notion that in your dying hours in some vietnamese hellhole, you dream or actually visit hell or whatever for several years ahead in time, failing to make sense of an ordinary life gradually becoming more hellish while trying to stay sane through it all is just a great premise.
His corpse remaining in the field hospital several years "earlier" is a very bleak point to end it on and just makes the whole movie feel even more surreal afterwards.
I turn off Joker, Taxi Driver, and The Devil's Advocate after the penultimate scenes. Apocalypse Now is best with the destruction of the compound in the original.
The ending of Taxi Driver where he looks in the mirror and then does a double take and turns it away so he can't see himself is better than the end of the penultimate scene in my opinion.
Sunshine has a great ending though, it's more the final quarter leading up to it that goes slasher. And even then there are bright moments with Capa and Mace.
>starts super promising, interested from the start >kino tough kid protag girl >kino nightmare scenes that legitimately unsettled me >kino concept of a nightmare person that all humans encounter in their sleep
If the second half of this film was somehow lost, people would think it's an unfinished masterpiece. But at about the time of the romance reveal it becomes a little stupid, then becomes a little more stupid gradually, and culminates by blowing your head off with the dumbest LOL MEME twists in cinema history.
>Liam Neeson is the last man standing, having done all he could to save the rest of the passengers on his crashed flight >It's just been revealed through flashback that his wife "leaving" him really meant that she died recently, although he can't bring himself to say it >His mantra/poem has been fulfilled, he's spent the last 90 minutes of runtime fighting his hardest in an impossible situation, and now it's over >Has just been dunked in icy water in the middle of a snowy forest and is clearly dying of hypothermia >He assembles a grave marker out of the wallets and IDs of the people who were on the plane with them, and prepares to die as well >All loose ends are tied up, all plot arcs have ended, the movie could easily fade to white and keep its dignity >Instead, by pure chance and at the last minute, he stumbles into the WOLF HOME BASE and is about to be eaten BUT WAIT, the ALPHA WOLF shows up and tells the other wolves to back off because HE WANTS HIS 1V1, then he waits (???) while Liam Neeson ASSEMBLES BRASS KNUCKLES OUT OF BROKEN BOTTLES so they can FIGHT TO THE DEATH
What in the everliving frick was the last five minutes of that movie. Complete tonal shift from the rest of the film, turning a thoughtful and sad movie about a man coming to terms with the inevitability of death into a ridiculous action movie. If it's meant to be a metaphor for his "last good fight" then it pales in comparison to the plane crash itself, which I have to assume was the intended meaning before some producer stepped in and complained that there was no action payoff for the focus groups. Instead it's just goofy, resolving no issues, tying up no loose ends (for there are none left at this point), and generally demeaning the rest of the movie.
The wolves are obvious metaphor and never act like real wolves throughout the film. Either this breaks if for you or it doesn't, but it's clear throughout that the film isn't attempting to be realistic.
I totally disagree and think that him throwing himself into a hopeless situation at the end full force serves as an exclamation mark to the point the movie was making since the plane crashed.
And 10/10 is pushing it, but whichever of the two films where Nic Cage can see what's gonna happen in the future and it ends with aliens outta nowhere.
Could've been crazy b***h kino, but the ending took the sharpest turn, totally contradicted the rest of the entire movie and doesn't really make sense in general. I think I'm the only one here that watched it tho.
what was wrong with the ending?
>ambiguous too smart 4 you ending
>oh btw the racist pos read a letter now he’s a good guy
>oh also he doesn’t care that the chick tried to burn him to death

Frick you and frick off you fricktastic homosexual ferrocarrile.
It was one of the best redemption arks I've seen
this, on average I don't like that open kind of ending but this one was really nice and didn't seem pretencious at all
It was insanely ballsy to make the racist cop the hero of the story was well. Only reason why this didn't win best picture.
amen, white guilt brothers!
Consider he was gay and he loved the sheriff
He wasnt racist, that was a point of the movie, all those prejudices various characters held were misguided even the ones about him.
I agree that he wasn't racist by normal people standards, but by leftists standards he was clearly racist.
The movie tries to make a "racist" character sympathetic. Can you think of any other form of media that's done that in the past twenty years?

>the good die and killers go free
The frick are you talking about? All people die, good bad, midgets, it doesn't matter, people die. All of them, that's actually pretty fair.
And what killer was let free? They never found the killer!

"it was him all along"/"it was all a dream" are the worst, laziest fricking endings

A Cure for Wellness is a good movie.
"Unreliable narrators" aren't "it was all a dream", dumbasses.
why did i like fight club twist but hated shutter islands?
Because fight club is a twist you don't see coming even though the signs are all there which makes for compelling rewatches. Shutter Island gives away the twist in the very first scene 2 minutes into the movie - the entire thing is telegraphed over and over again and is so obvious it's not even a twist. Even if you think you didn't see it coming, you did.
Because there's an actual plot with significant events happening even with the protag being a schizo. Shutter Island is just some guys fantasy
He's not describing an unreliable narrator, moron. He also wasnt saying it is always a dream, that's just one of two ways the twist works.
Shutter Island was neither of those things, the whole thing was just orchestrated to fit his delusions but it was almost all actually happening even if it was just a roleplay.

VIOLENCE IS... LE GOOD
A Quiet Place (2018)
Joker's was it all a dream ending was a wank overused cliche at the end of a brilliant movie
But it wasn't all a dream. Certain events didn't happen the way they were first shown, but the most important events did indeed happen.
He committed suicide when he climbed into the fridge. Everything after that was a fantasy in the throes of death.
>It was all a dream

went into this blind and loved it but that ending basically ruined it
Wrong. His first time thru the audience can clearly see his actions are changing what happens around him. He isn't just "remembering" what happened.
He is clearly in another dimension/ time and interacting with the world from the start.
The ending is the best part. He succeeded, got his happy ending and he'll still be out there stopping criminals from getting away with it
will he though? it kinda establishes that there are multiple timelines/universes and that he fails in most of them
if anything he's just like a normal guy again, trapped in one dimension/timeline
Vera is hot af
Came to post this. The freeze frame train scene was fricking obviously meant to be the original ending but a "happy" end had to be tacked on, despite the fact he effectively murders the teacher dude and takes over his body.

a good friend recommended 7 psychopaths and I remember how awfully disappointed I was when I finally got around to watching it
>BRO, SOME GRAVELLY VOICED D00D WITH A PET BUNNY AND HIS BLACK GIRLFRIEND TOOK DOWN THE ZODIAC!
Cinemaphile was the friend that recommended this shit in my case, same as Three Billboards. This board is big on that "4D Chess" directorial cope shit when it comes to movies that look good but are ultimately vacuous power fantasies...it's why they love Tarantino so much.
this is some top tier moronposting I kneel
Damn I remember this b***h being posted endlessly what 10 years ago? 15?
>any film that ends ambiguously
Frick you, just give me closure.
I didn't even get a 1/4 of the way through that one before being annoyed by it and turning it off
The entirety of the movie was shit, to be fair
What? But the ending was the best part.
the part where she stops being such a b***h to woody after he starts vomiting blood was pretty kino. the rest was kinda shit.
wow he's literally me
To say it was ruined might be a bit much, but the final act of this movie really lost me.
I dont think much of the morons who scream filtered about shitty films but I do unironically think if you didnt get sunshine's horror preamble which are subtle to be fair then it did filter you
I thought it had horror elements throughout, I just think manifesting them in some guy who both wasn't very scary and some really forgettable ramblings wasn't necessary. Space is already scarier than some crazy guy with his skin falling off could ever be, and the movie did a fine job capturing that before it opted to make that guy the focus.
it would be a nothing movie if it was just some dumb space mission and nothing happens and secondly pinbacker was the payoff to the set up of the 'what do you see kaneda' guy's' morbid sun fetishism/curiosity. it's kinda like a space madness/cosmic horror theme
dumb zoomer. my grandfather was a literal luftwaffe nazi
Plenty was happening before he showed up and I don't see any reason it couldn't have been eventful without him either. Just having the crew desperately trying to finish the mission as they lose more people and run into more problems trying to manage the ship was a lot more compelling than the stuff with Pinbacker and moments like the guy freezing in space was a lot more horrifying than a guy with his skin falling off chokelifting Murphy's character. I actually do like the cosmic horror and mad scholar themes in theory, so I can imagine how it would have worked, but it didn't work here for me. I have read that the original script of the film leaned more into theological discussion and Boyle trimmed it down, and if that's true then I can imagine how Pinbacker would have fit better, but as the film is now he just doesn't work for me. He didn't interest me, and with his actual character not winning me over all that was left to make up for it was how well he worked as a mechanic for the horror aspect of the movie, and I found him worse in that regard than the horror of space itself and the sun.
it's a fair take, I wonder if it was one of those less is more situations though. as for the plot when pinbacker shows up the mission is almost complete, the remaining crew is pretty much either gonna die completing the mission or if they dont frick up they make it back with barely enough oxygen (iirc) and without pinbacker the plot is basically the same as The Core which I cant see as preferable.
>if it was just some dumb space mission and nothing happens
if your idea of "something happening" is an axe-wielding maniac showing up then i dont think you got a good taste in movies.
I love Sunshine but the final act could have gone in a million different directions and most of them would have been better choices.
name one
just one of the crewmembers turning antagonist trying to sabotage them would have been a better choice, maybe something happens that leads to them believing earth population has collapsed and died out during their journey, that could have sparked an interesting conflict as well with part of the crew wanting to continue their mission because they still have hope and the rest just not seeing the point in dying as well attempting to stop it? Would have made sense and doesnt require a teen-horror villain to show up.
you honestly sound too young for the movie
ending is great, tbh, but yeah the movie takes a dive when it decides to become a slasher
This though
Was kino sci-fi survival thriller but turned into fricking Event Horizon at the end
was way better as a psychological thriller than it was as a slasher, the captain getting obliterated by the sun with the psychologist screaming WHAT DO YOU SEE KANEDA? is pure kino
The scene where they first explore the empty ship and the crew's faces are flashing on the screen is one of the most most unsettling and unique scenes I've seen in a horror movie. Legitimately thought there was something wrong with my copy at first. But yeah, really weird how it decided to become a slasher. Still enjoyed it a lot.
You know that trope in american movies where a character may be a scumbag, a liar, a thief, a killer, and an overall awful person but he's NOT a racist and that makes him sympathetic to redditors? This movie is the opposite of that. It's impressive it was made at all. There's no way Hollywood would green light it nowadays.
Isn't that just Gran Torino?
That's another movie no one would green light nowadays.
28 days later should have ended by the gang having to put down dad. The moment the soldiers show up and it goes from being about zombies to being about muh rape and how the redditor white knight pulls a dumb anime tier stunt and defeats them with facts and logic so he can beg the qt negress for a crumb of pussy it completely loses me.
Really? I liked how he had to become like the infected and go full feral when facing a life and death situation. He even looks like the infected by the end
i liked it too but "we haven't had pussy in FOUR WEEKS so we're gonna rape the first chick we see" plot is stupid and some kind of generic "the soldiers have gone mad with power and isolation and are murderous" would have been preferable to what we got
>"we haven't had pussy in FOUR WEEKS so we're gonna rape the first chick we see" plot is stupid
true that was always extremely dumb
so basically it turns into day of the dead halfway
im sold honestly
>"we haven't had pussy in FOUR WEEKS so we're gonna rape the first chick we see" plot
More like "The commandant is fricking nuts and wants some way to motivate the men not to kill themselves, so he comes up with the idea of getting women to rape". Is it really that far fetched to you that a bunch of soldiers in the post-apocalypse would really, really want some women to rape?
wouldn't say it's a 10, but high tension. solid slasher besides from that non sensical ending.
if anything the ending wake me up a little bit. this movie is not slow is just tedious and i'm saying this as somebody who loves tarkovsky
well Solaris is the superior film
Solaris is such a piece of trash thst even Tarkovsky considered it a failed project. He only made Stalker because he felt he failed so badly at science fiction with Solaris that he had to try it again.
Filtered. Star child is the final phase of transgumanism of the elite
Same interpretation I had when I first saw it. It's what humanity will become.
For me the star child is just the easiest way Kubrick could visual represent humanity's evolution to the next stage of sentience - a literal rebirthing
There are many different interpretations of the star child, that's not the problem. The problem is that representing it as a floating space baby looks ridiculous. This is one of my favorite movies of all time but I wish Kubrick had thought about the ending a bit more.
I can understand the reasoning behind your objection but realistically what other way could he have shown that this being was the next evolution of man?
yeah I also have a love/ hate relationship with the star baby. The message of 2001 is amazing but the execution of the baby is ridiculous and just makes me laugh. Idk how else that message could've been conveyed though.
wrong. star child is our physical world. our earth is literally a human embryo and we are the micro cosmos living on its skin.

The Game. It quite literally ends with

Nah the game was good. That shit was peak justified schizophrenia.
I do sorta wish the end was him not appreciating the whole thing, getting mad ptsd, suing the everliving frick out of them and ny sheer coincidence more weird things happen so he never thinks hes outta the game. Turns into basically sarah o conner
no movie is 10/10 with a scene like this
I never saw this, but I heard people raving about the cinematography. What the frick. This look like shit. The gamma is absolutely botched. You can get a better color grading by using some russian luts.
thought it was.....mid
damn...this says a lot about society...
i watched this movie at 5 am when the sun was coming out just like a bunch of times in this movie and i was like... wow
For real.
How are you gonna have this high-concept wankery and shit the bed and kick it out with that ending
have you seen the 3rd movie?
For some reason I watched all of them
Canadians fricking suck at making movies
I never even remember what the ending was.

Lawnmower man was better
Nolan's cinematographer who directed this never recovered afterwards
Why not?
idk
I didn't make it to the ending. this is probably the most boring film of recent times.
i couldn't bring myself to give a frick about anything except paul bettany's storyline
the movie completely killed his career lmao
taco bell and hundai commercials what the frick
why is he being punished? what the fucj
the movie costed too much, was bad and a commercial flop,worse is that he's still trying to be a director but now he can't even return to nolan because he has better people in the pool.
In the first one Woody lost protagonism as Andy favourite toy and is something he has to face
In the fourth one Woody lost protagonism as the new girl favourite toy and he left his friends because he want to be a leader with his gf.
Pixard lost his touch
It’s ok to retire though you really don’t have to follow around some kid forever who doesn’t even need you. Woody meant a lot to Andy as a kid but he didn’t mean anything to Bonnie, any sticking around for work’s sake is just Woody spinning his wheels because he likes to feel wanted, when he literally isn’t
The first three films presented the toys' relationship to kids as more than just work -- it seemed more metaphorical for having a purpose in life generally along with making human connections, loving, and being loved. So having the main toy just go "frick it, I'm out" in the fourth movie reads more like checking out of life/relationships as a whole rather than just retiring from a job, which I think conflicts with thematic core of 1-3. Or at least that's my problem with it.
>Est 1986
Is that a hecking Easter egg to when Pixar started????
I really hated this movie. They should have stopped at 3. This movie accomplished nothing and tried way too hard. Pixar has been trying way too hard.
It was fine, don't get your panties in a wad.
It was horrible and my childhood will never recover.

How about Bad movies saved by their ending
That was a good movie with a good ending.
Nah it was a tedious movie that wore out its welcome by the third act, but saved by its ambiguous ending.
>ambiguous
You got f-f-filtered
i agree with you
Bad is harsh but the movie would be nothing if not for the ending.
Good call. Dogshit movie with a great ending.
If you know, you know
why do people dislike the ending? I was sold start to finish
Fabian's fricking incredible
Not him, but I was also, let's say, "dissatisfied" with the ending. It didn't ruin the film by any stretch but it was easily the weakest part. To be fair, I think it would be extremely hard to come up with a truly satisfying ending, but still.

Your ending is worse mate.
How is it worse than le chase in the runway?
At least here the audience can guess based on what they just saw if Neil gets away or not (9x10 he's not getting away but the what if? is what makes a good ending)
Not everything needs a cookie-cutter ending

Sounds kino
Actually kind of is. Rides the line of 'wow this is moronic' and actually 'pretty good' like basically nothing I've ever seen.
atheist tears
The fact that it all turned out to be real was the best thing that the movie could have done. Otherwise it would have just been some bog-standard murder movie
I mean you're absolutely right, it's just that it kind of throws all of the discomfort and skepticism you've had back throughout the entire runtime back in your face and calls you a moronic homosexual for having entertained the notion that there's no way they would actually resolve the mystery THAT way. It's surprising not because it comes at you from out of left field, but because the more horrible things you've watched happen, the more you're convinced there's just no way for them to backpedal and do the twist. But then they do it and your jaw drops to the floor and the dude knocks up his wife, becomes the sheriff and it's almost like they're leaving it open for a sequel. It's an insane movie.
Shit from start to finish. Single most overrated director working, other than Nolan. His brother is better than him - this manipulative overwrought homosexual isn’t even the best director in his fricking family
I think Ari Aster is the most overrated director working, I haven't seen his older stuff but Midsommar and Hereditary were really unremarkable for all the praise they got in my opinion.
I’d agree Aster is overhyped, Hereditary felt fresh but I’ve got no desire to ever watch Midsommar again. My problem with McDonuts is that it’s self-regarding Oscar bait, not as funny as it thinks it is, and exploits serious topics (rape, murder by immolation, terminal illness and suicide, all in one movie!!) without doing anything at all interesting. Three Billboards feels more like a series of tear-jerking insurance ads than a movie. Frick I hate it so much anons
good post
The most moronic attempt at a rug pull ending I have ever seen.
Didn't it just end with Jamie Foxx winning and going to his daughter's concert? I don't remember feeling it was a rug pull ending but I only vaguely remember it.
I think it's how contrived it felt, combined with the fact that Jamie Foxx doesn't really change after the fact he's essentially proved the villain right and killed a criminal or whatever, been a while since I watched it.
they find Butler's last bomb and sneak it into the prison so they can blow him up with it. It is the most moronic thing I have ever seen in a film and its pretty much a solid 7/10 right up til that point.
i honestly find the idea that Foxx threw a fit at the idea that Butler wins over his character in the end and demanding a rewrite more plausible than anything else.
It sounds like the kind of petty bullshit he would pull.
This movie became shit the second he killed the lady lawyer. Would've been kino if he only killed the bad guys and corrupt people, but killing innocents makes him a gay
The picture on the wall was the most moronic shit.

Pontypool (2008) has an amazingly strong start but flops with the weird dream sequence ending thing.
yellowbrickroad (2010) this movie wasn't anything special for a horror film but that ending felt like a cop out to answer a mystery that didn't need to be solved
>le fade to black
Why didn’t he just invent a suit or glove that absorbed all of the radiation?
he did. but he's not using it there, thats his normal nano suit. The hulk got hurt using the big glove because he tried to do something that broke causality
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon has a pretty shit ending. So does I am Legend and Titanic
>he did. but he's not using it there
What? That's worse.
yeah
>i'll make a glove with slots for the stones but leave it unshielded so i die
good plan
I Am Legend is a book, not a movie.
A movie based on the book "I Am Legend" has never been made.
le superhero shit
Shit movie but I liked the part where she was going sjw nice on the police for targeting heckin Black personinos when statistically based on geography and demographics there's a 95 percent chance a black guy raped and murdered her daughter.
Literally the last like 10 seconds as well
Why they didn't just cut that scene out I dont know
filtered, the ending makes the movie
shittest ending ever, ruined the movie for me
A loooot of truth right here, a LOT of truth
So I take it he didn’t like the movie then
theyre a homosexual but they have some solid points
The Number 23 starring Jim Carrey.
It was an interesting flick, the cinematography was fun, the premise was somewhat lackluster but made interesting by the cast and the plot, but the ending absolutely kills it.
Did it end with him discovering the number was actually a 28 and the left part of it had just faded away
This movie is 5/10 at best regardless of the ending
Those last 20 minutes feel like they were written by a 10 year old.
And yes, I know about the fairytale ending theory. That shit doesn't fix it.
>fairytale ending theory
What's this?
The last 20 minutes are a fairytale fabricated by the MC's brain after he got caught by precrime and sent to a containment zone.
The warden even says something like "it makes you see things, like all your dreams coming to life"
After that, every conflict in the film gets resolved in the most simplistic way.
shitty films with an even shittier ending
you shut your prostitute mouth
Hereditary.
First two thirds are brilliant, all the tension, the horror of remaining a family unit after a tragedy, guilt, shame, blame all bubbling under the surface.
Then it devolves into paint by numbers spookiness, shock shlock, and overdone cult nonsense.
This. I fricking hate Hereditary's shit ending. The entire movie is very slow and mild and then the last 10 minutes is just them throwing everything at the fricking wall and bumping things up too fast too quick.
It just goes from "Oh hey a cup moved" to "THE DAD IS ON FIRE AND THE MOM IS ON THE CEILING AND THERE'S NAKED PEOPLE IN THE ATTIC AND THE MOM IS CUTTING HER HEAD OFF AND THE SON JUMPS OUT THE WINDOW AND THE MOM FLOATS INTO THE TREEHOUSE AND THE TREEHOUSE IS FULL OF NAKED PEOPLE AND THE DAUGHTER IS NOW IN THE SON'S BODY AND IS NOW THE DEMON KING ALL RISE". It's moronic And it happens so fricking fast. No buildup at all.
I thought the ending would 100% be a reveal that Henry knew all along it was a ploy, and he was simply taking advantage of it to secure France's obedience and expand. Giving up his true friend for his ambitions. Then it ends with his new wife chastising him for being a moron and telling him he'll have to earn her and all along he really was just a gullible moron. Was that how it played out in the play?
the whole point of the film was that he didn't really want to be king and thus got played by people who wanted to use him as a tool - that's the whole point. his story is supposed to be tragic, especially cause it costs him his closest friend
you're a moron

He can't write an ending to save his life, it's always just "Character I like kills everyone"
Even Kevin Smith knew better than to kill Randall in Clerks
Randall is the only redeemable character to come out of Smith.
>Even Kevin Smith knew better than to kill Randall in Clerks
Except he didn't know better. That was in the script originally until someone read it and told him how moronic it was.
Her daughter was raped while dying. HA!
Jacob's Ladder is peak ruined ending.
The entire movie spells out that he's dead but sure go ahead and show him actually dying and to top it off let's even show him ascending to heaven.
Absolute trash.
To its credit, Jacob's Ladder was one of the earlier movies to use "It's all a dying dream" tropes, even though it was way on the nose. Plus it directly influenced Silent Hill 2 which landed both the main story and the ending.
I had no issue with it. I thought the end and film I’m general was way above average.
i think it works for JL's sake, just this once.
It was unique at the time, and the notion that in your dying hours in some vietnamese hellhole, you dream or actually visit hell or whatever for several years ahead in time, failing to make sense of an ordinary life gradually becoming more hellish while trying to stay sane through it all is just a great premise.
His corpse remaining in the field hospital several years "earlier" is a very bleak point to end it on and just makes the whole movie feel even more surreal afterwards.
>The Batman (2022)
Bullshit 'muh' flood with everyone gathering underground and shit

I turn off Joker, Taxi Driver, and The Devil's Advocate after the penultimate scenes. Apocalypse Now is best with the destruction of the compound in the original.
The ending of Taxi Driver where he looks in the mirror and then does a double take and turns it away so he can't see himself is better than the end of the penultimate scene in my opinion.
The ending for Take Shelter really pissed me off because of his b***h wife. Kalifornia was great until Brad Pitt gets taken out too.
>epic space drama that questions if humanity even matters

Sunshine has a great ending though, it's more the final quarter leading up to it that goes slasher. And even then there are bright moments with Capa and Mace.

I hate open endings, but the rest of the movie is kino

>kino concept of a nightmare person that all humans encounter in their sleep
If the second half of this film was somehow lost, people would think it's an unfinished masterpiece. But at about the time of the romance reveal it becomes a little stupid, then becomes a little more stupid gradually, and culminates by blowing your head off with the dumbest LOL MEME twists in cinema history.
Good pick. The fact that the ended with a literal meme was so stupid - the movie deserved better
Was she even in a comma or she just got a meme?

How, its fricking great lol
The Grey wins this in my book.
>Liam Neeson is the last man standing, having done all he could to save the rest of the passengers on his crashed flight
>It's just been revealed through flashback that his wife "leaving" him really meant that she died recently, although he can't bring himself to say it
>His mantra/poem has been fulfilled, he's spent the last 90 minutes of runtime fighting his hardest in an impossible situation, and now it's over
>Has just been dunked in icy water in the middle of a snowy forest and is clearly dying of hypothermia
>He assembles a grave marker out of the wallets and IDs of the people who were on the plane with them, and prepares to die as well
>All loose ends are tied up, all plot arcs have ended, the movie could easily fade to white and keep its dignity
>Instead, by pure chance and at the last minute, he stumbles into the WOLF HOME BASE and is about to be eaten BUT WAIT, the ALPHA WOLF shows up and tells the other wolves to back off because HE WANTS HIS 1V1, then he waits (???) while Liam Neeson ASSEMBLES BRASS KNUCKLES OUT OF BROKEN BOTTLES so they can FIGHT TO THE DEATH
What in the everliving frick was the last five minutes of that movie. Complete tonal shift from the rest of the film, turning a thoughtful and sad movie about a man coming to terms with the inevitability of death into a ridiculous action movie. If it's meant to be a metaphor for his "last good fight" then it pales in comparison to the plane crash itself, which I have to assume was the intended meaning before some producer stepped in and complained that there was no action payoff for the focus groups. Instead it's just goofy, resolving no issues, tying up no loose ends (for there are none left at this point), and generally demeaning the rest of the movie.
you must be a woman
Don't you dare place that moronic diarrhea of a ending on the same pedestal as Master & Commander.
Don't forget the post credit scene with a panning shot of both Liam Neeson and the wolf slumped over, ambiguous as to which of them is alive
The wolves are obvious metaphor and never act like real wolves throughout the film. Either this breaks if for you or it doesn't, but it's clear throughout that the film isn't attempting to be realistic.
I totally disagree and think that him throwing himself into a hopeless situation at the end full force serves as an exclamation mark to the point the movie was making since the plane crashed.
Insidious is a big one imo
And 10/10 is pushing it, but whichever of the two films where Nic Cage can see what's gonna happen in the future and it ends with aliens outta nowhere.
Knowing isn't really that good, it's bizarre rushed ending just makes the rest seem better in retrospect
I didn't even get to the ending, couldn't finish that film it was so awful, nowhere near "10/10"

I love the movie, but the end is so meh.

Could've been crazy b***h kino, but the ending took the sharpest turn, totally contradicted the rest of the entire movie and doesn't really make sense in general. I think I'm the only one here that watched it tho.
