Two times now have i watched a movie on Showtime, not because the movie was good but because i kinda wanted to know the ¨big¨ answer to the whole plot.
The result was NOTHING, the movies ended with no answers and no ¨real¨ ending.
One of these movies were Jack in the box. It was about people stuck in a basement being forced to play musical chairs for their life. The loser had to walk out and was probably killed.
Once in the movie you could catch a glimpse of the killers face and he looked pretty messed up, but no real info was given about the guy.
The people kept playing the game and when one was left, she got to live. A year later it all started again.
The END.
When i watch a movie, i generally want it to end properly. I don't want to wonder about things after i'm done watching, atleast not in this way.
So, what do you people think? Does it annoy you when movies leave you wondering about far too much, or do you like getting no answers at all?
You are all encouraged to post names of other movies with the same no-answers type ending.
I might watch it,, cause,, i guess i like being annoyed. 
DISCUSS!

but I don't think I would've liked it as much if it ended another way

If you really want to torture yourself watch Cube.

Next
An amazing Nicholas Cage film where he decides to just not end the movie; at least the real ending is hinted at.
|
Yeah, I'm with you, if they don't end it properly (even in a game) I get really sad (Megaman Star Force 3 didn't give a proper ending like Megaman Battle Network 6  ) so I'm still waiting, after 3 years and no announce for a sequel ;C

Those are the best kind of movies. Life doesn't "end". My favorite stories are ones where the characters aren't arbitrarily "introduced" in the beginning and the ending is left open. I like it when characters know things about each other and each other's past that I have no idea about and that I never will. Instead of just a story, it's a window into another reality that existed before I watched it and will continue exist after. That's a lot cooler to me than something that just resolves.

Those kinds of movies kill me.
In a good way.

Pretty much this. I hate that movie precisely because it was a giant tease.

When movies like this end, i kinda feel like Smith from The Matrix series.
He got so agitated when things were not completely clear to him, i find myself asking the same questions as him.
WHY, WHY, WHY!!!
The makers of these movies should be proud, cause they've made movies that affect me more than most movies do. I generally just watch one then move on. There movies get under my skin somehow, they kinda make me want to ¨enter¨ the world in the plot to take the answers i want and need.

If you didn't know that the Fellowship of the Ring was part of a trilogy, you would have thought the ending was pretty fucked up. I heard stories where some people in the cinema yelled "What? That's fucking it?" at the ending. Haha.
|
I was thinking this was book, and Fahrenheit 451 is what I thought of. Best open-ended ending ever. That sounds nice.
|
I LOVE movies like this. Thinking for yourself > letting a director/producer spell out every little nuance for you.
Donnie Darko is one of my favorites in this way.
|
Isn't this what makes a lot of movies really good? (assuming it's done right)
|
Ninth gate w/ johnny depp...
|
I felt lost in translation was sort of like that but i enjoyed it.
|
Lock Stock and two smoking barrels gets me because you really want them to get it but you Don`t Know!
|
The French film "Martyrs" is one of these, the character who finally found the "answer" to the plot + Show Spoiler +just said, "Keep doubting," before killing herself after being asked what the 'answer' was after she had been told it.
just re-read that and it makes no sense, I'm trying not to give too much of the movie away, you'll have to see it yourself xD
|
Cube ended the way it did because it was about people, not the situation itself. If they had given you any more information then it would have made the whole thing less compelling. Which is part of the reason why the sequel was so stupid.

Mulholland Drive
Unless the answer was lesbians and I'm just reading too much into it.
