![]() ![]() Whiplash (2014) - Anytime I see Neiman walk back onto that stage I instantly get super pumped up.I am not a big fan of horror movies (but I can enjoy one once in a while if I'm in the mood).What are some endings of movies you absolutely adore and why? I'll start: SAW (2004) - A James Wan Classic & my personal favorite plot twist in a movie.Īlright people, thanks again for all the recommendations. “Game over,” he says, ending the film with Adam trapped in the pitch-black washroom, screaming into the credits. ![]() Adam is shocked by the moment and John abandons him, turning off the lights and locking him in the room. John has been making people kill themselves to make them learn life lessons, as he himself is bitter from his approaching death from an inoperable brain tumor. John rises up and tells him the key to his chains is in the bathtub, but had been swept away when Adam first awoke. Gordon's patient John and has been pretending to be the “corpse” on the floor. The real Jigsaw, it turns out, was actually Dr. Gordon's wife and daughter, or be killed by a poison coursing through his system. He searches Zep’s pockets for a key, but instead finds another cassette. After a tearful goodbye, Gordon leaves, saying he has to get help, or he'll bleed to death.Īdam, however, is still shackled to the wall. Very soon after, Zep reaches the washroom and is tackled by Adam, who is injured but still alive and beats Zep to death with the toilet lid. Free of his shackle after sawing off his foot, Gordon shoots Adam. Tapp nearly emerges victorious, but is shot by Zep, who rushes to the washroom and leaves him to die. Believing that his wife and daughter are still in danger, Gordon finally saws off his own foot thinking that it is the only way to save his family, while Adam cries out unsuccessfully, trying to tell Dr. Tapp tries to catch Zep before he can get to the room. Zep and Alison fight over a gun while Det. ![]() The clock reaches 6:00, ending the time limit. Do you believe the final trick is a literal 1:1 with the birds shown earlier, or that the final trick is being pulled on the audience? (I don't remember exact scenes, but at the time these both made about equal thematic sense)Īnd while in the book cloning is actually 100% shown to work, the movie never takes it that far while having a much more grounded story for the first 99% of the run time.īasically the whole thing is just that a Nolan movie has an arguably open ended conclusion (*shocker*) In a movie that's explicitly telling you to not fall for the trick and be critical of what's presented to you, it all feels a little suspicious especially with how they're deliberately not showing you things that would make it absolutely clear. And in that hallway you only ever see the one dead man in the tank, when it would have been trivial to show the 'others' to remove doubt. Plus the flashback shown in the last confrontation isn't set up as a regular flashback, but rather a retelling from an unreliable narrator. Basically the cloning machine is an extension of the 'light show' of the machine from earlier in the film (lots of fancy effects and then have someone walk out of a different room having been "teleported"). You see the multiple hats (something not hard to get a lot of) but never the machine actually working in the same shot. The argument is that he killed off his look alike for real the time he noticed the other guy in the crowd, and everything else is misdirection. You never actually see the cloning machine work. It's a bit of a stretch and I haven't recently re-watched but basically: I'll come back here for some feedback later. I still think this movie is genius.ĭo you know some that blew your mind this way ?ĮDIT: Wow ! thanks everyone for all the recommendations, I guess I got myself some good movie times ahead of me. Last time I had a really unanticipated twist was Lucky Number Slevin. I really like movies with massive plot twist but when I know there is one I just can't stop trying to figure out what could happen and it kills the effect a little. ![]()
