Do you like movies that have endings that are open to interpretation?

😭 I was actually gonna ask this on GaG last week before I got sick, but you beat me to it, lol.

Before you read how I feel about those kinds of movies... just a heads-up — I’m gonna reveal a bit about Shutter Island. So, if you haven’t seen it and still want to 😶

Couple of movies really got to me. The first was Zodiac — the ending confused the hell out of me, and then I found out it was based on a real-life case, which honestly made it even more unsettling.

The other one that messed with my head for like 2–3 days was Shutter Island. I kept thinking- “What even happened?” That open-ended stuff drove me crazy. I ended up watching a bunch of YouTube videos where people were debating whether he actually relapsed or just pretended to. I even read a few articles to see if others thought the same — that he came back to his senses but chose not to live with the guilt and pain.

I was so frustrated and felt so unsatisfied 😭 Movies with endings that are open to interpretation always leave a bitter taste in my mouth.

Yeah I feel that. I feel the same. I genuinely can't stand them. Wish movies had a disclaimer about them, because then I wouldn't watch them. I just watched Triangle of Sadness and that was one of the most unsatisfying endings.

I can't stand them either. "That was two hours of my life I’ll never get back"- is how I felt after watching it. Honestly, I could’ve stared at a wall and had a more satisfying experience 😑

I just watched the trailer of Triangle Of Sadness and it kinda gave me Knives Out vibe. Thanks to you, I won't bother watching it.

Thank you!

Not really…. it leaves me confused and wanting to solve the mystery. I understand that the director wants to leave it open to the audience, so there is a possibility of multiple endings. However, just like The Inception, not knowing which is the right one (if there is) kind of bugs me.

[HawkPerception]

You and me both

Thanks for the MHO 🙂

They usually piss me off when it is becoming evident that it's going to end like that. So no!

[Lynx122]

It depends if it's well done yes :). Like Inception I thought the ending was great.

I hate them

[WonderingManII]

Yes sometimes.

They can be thought provoking.
