Confusing Endings

[Johnichi Chiba]

anyone saw Holy Blood, The Mole or The Sacred Mountain by Jodorowsky?

I really really want to buy that Japanese collector's set of his movies, but its like 500 dollars.

Donnie Darko pops in my mind for a confusing ending. I don't know what's going on.

 

[JackBauer]

Movie endings that confused the hell outta me:

-"Entrapment". So Sean Connery is a thief, and Catherine Zeta-Jones is an agent sent to capture him. But really Sean is out to capture Catherine because she was a thief, but Sean really was a thief, but he's not, but...

Too confusing for me to handle.

-"2001: A Space Odyssey". To be fair, everything that happened after HAL died confused me to no end.

-"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". The plot hadmore twists and turns than a frickin Six Flags rollercoaster.

-Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes". I'm STILL not sure wether Earth is or isn't the Planet of the Apes in the remake.

-"Men in Black 2". Just WTF?

-"Identity". So, was there, or wasn't a killer? Just WTF happened at that motel?

these were pretty straightforward if you ask me...

American Psycho was like "Whoa wait a minute..... so he imagined all this at the Maccaroni Grill?"

My friend and I are of two minds on this one.

Mine is that all the killing everything that was shown was a fantasy built up in his head. It's quite common for serial killers to fantasize about the prospect of killing long before they ever go through with it. So to me that's what it was about. He fantasized and built himself up and by the end realized it's something he could do.

My friend thinks it was about the generic quality and greed of the 80's. All the corporate schills looked alike, no one could tell one from the other, so they figure the guy, Bateman thought he killed, was dead but nobody realized it cause there was no one else to take his place. In fact wasn't there someone in the movie that kept calling him by a different name? In the apartment, the agent covered it up because the only meaning for her was making money.

It's been awhile since I've seen this.

Eyes Wide Shut I didn't really understand at all,

2-"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless MInd": when we first see Jim Carrey, he meets Kate Winslet at a train. They fall in love, but then they break up. She goes to Lacunas to wipe out all memories of him, and then he retaliates by doing the same. But when they show his memories, the train is nowhere to be seen and they meet at a beach. Which means that they met, fell in love, and wiped their memories of each other, only to meet AGAIN, fall in love AGAIN, and wiped out the memories of each other AGAIN.

See? Too complicated for me to follow.

They didn't get their memories wiped again. When we meet Carrey on the train it's the morning after he had his memory wiped, they learn they both got their memories wiped and realized if they met again, it must be for a reason.

What the hell was up with Hulk's father turning into a giant jellyfish?

 

[huskerwebhead]

Silent Hill - I liked the movie....but I'm just not sure where the hell they ended up!

 

[MaskedManJRK]

-"2001: A Space Odyssey". To be fair, everything that happened after HAL died confused me to no end.

I've only seen it a few time, but I believe that it was meant that after the guy saw the Mosolium, he jumped into several next stages of human evolution into that wierd cosmic baby thing in the end.

That's the thing I heard, anyway.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

-"Men in Black 2". Just WTF?

I'm WTF'ing too...but because someone didn't understand it. No offense, but that was so simple it's not even funny.

Turns out that the girl Jay was lusting over was some planet's savior and it was Kay's daughter.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

Donnie Darko pops in my mind for a confusing ending. I don't know what's going on.

Been a while since I saw that too, but I believe it went like this:

Donnie was supposed to die when the airplane engine fell into his home, but his psychosis (Frank) forced him away, turning just about everyone else's life to hell. Donnie realizes this, and through his learning of the timestream, was able to go back to the day he was supposed to die, and let the airplane engine crush him.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

Eyes Wide Shut I didn't really understand at all,

That one was kind-of simple as well, I thought.

A couple that was on the verge on cheating on each other find themselves tangled in a wierd sex cult place, got themselves out and tried to work their relationship out in the end.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

What the hell was up with Hulk's father turning into a giant jellyfish?

I think it was since Bruce/Hulk's power came from his severe pain from his father's torture, when both personalities decided to let David have it, he felt all the suffering that David inflicted on his son and started to break apart (hence the "Take it back!" and his distorting form), and eventually blew up, giving Hulk back his power but with some sense of peace (represented in the end by the good memory of David tucking young Bruce to sleep).

I would recommend getting the book version of it, written by Peter David, it's a lot better and better explains the end.

Well I haven't seen it in a long time, it just seemed really pointless and overly conveluted. I was probably just expecting a lot more than what I got.

 

[Mr. Edward Hyde]

Aladdin. Definately Aladdin. At the end of that, I was just all..."whaaaat?!".

 

[Bat Attack]

the end of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" used to confuse me, but I realized this: When Nancy went to sleep at the after setting her watch to wake her up so she could pull Freddy into the real world, she never woke up. That would explain the whole 'Freddy Car' at the end.

 

[LostSon88]

Aladdin?

 

[Mr. Edward Hyde]

Aladdin?

Sarcasm is pretty popular where I'm from. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

The Hulks father was actually a crappy movie version of the Absorbing Man.

He had turned to water to fight the Hulk under the lake.

That thing the looked like a jellyfish was just a large bubble of water growing out of control because the Hulks energy was too much to handle.

 

[Lady Stormcrow]

Silent Hill! I mean..where were they??

 

[Gamma Ray]

Aladdin. Definately Aladdin. At the end of that, I was just all..."whaaaat?!".

Aladdin: Not so fast, Jafar. Aren't you forgeting something?!

Jafar: Huh?

Aladdin: You wanted to be a genie, you got it!

Jafar: What?!

Aladdin: And everything that goes with it.

Jafar: No! Nooo!

Aladdin: Phenominal cosmic powers! Itty-bitty living space.

Aladdin is the best thing "Steve" from Full House has ever done!

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

it wasnt confusing at all

...Your joking right??? The conclusion was one big question mark.

...That's what I said, it just also related to the more metaphysical metaphors that was laced throughout the picture.

Donnie realizes this, and through his learning of the timestream, was able to go back to the day he was supposed to die, and let the airplane engine crush him.

I think it had more to do with the formation of the alternate/tangent universe. If the alternate wasn't destroyed, the world would end, and the only way to set things right was for Donnie to die.

Alright, I know we already tackled this one, but can ANYONE do up like the ENTIRE timeline and location of Burton's PLANET OF THE APES? I just don't get it. Is it supposed to make sense -at all-? So in the beginning we have Mark and some monkeys in space, they go through some portal and we are... where!? The future of Earth? An alternate Earth? The past of an alternate Earth that some human has stumbled on before(remember the *old* gun that is the same that Mark has that one of the apes warns the other ape about?!). And then at the end what happens?! Another monkey shows up! From the same hole? And he's there ancestor? Or what? And then Mark goes back THROUGH the hole... and winds up on Earth... WITH MONKEYS! So is it alternate Earth with monkeys? Future Earth rebuilt identically but with monkeys?! Insane Marky Mark picturing everyone as monkeys?! AHHH!

Ok.
Any help would be great.

Also, the original Mission Impossible confused the hell out of me. Not on what actually occured, but on the specifics of it and how Ethan figures everything out so fast. I literally only pieced it all together the time before last that I saw it(just prior to MI3) and I must have seen it a good 10 times before that. The bit with the Bible and Ethan having flashbacks of what really happened while he tells JV an opposite story face to face... damn was I confused. But I got it now. BUT EXPLAIN PLANET OF THE APES!!

Oh, and the 6th Sense. I was VERY confused as to how so many people didn't see that **** coming 10 minutes into the movie. Ghost movie+ main charecter shot in the beginning+no interaction with anyone else other than the kid that sees ghosts= ****ing obvious, people.
