Ever watch a movie, and find yourself tearing at the last scene or at least really close to it. I am intrigued by the market for movie endings…
Of my favorite movies, I like the revenge/happy ending of Shawshank. My favorite TV ending is that Different Strokes when Arnold gets molested by the Maytag man… Kidding of course, that was pretty stupid.
Rosemary’s Baby is a thriller classic with one of the most memorable movie endings of all time. As with many movies with twist endings, like Fight Club, once you know the ending it can be a rewarding experience. If we ever do a “worst twist endings” list, I think “Mystic River” should be on there.
How about Psycho… Psycho comes with a fairly early twist in that the main heroine in the film (Janet Leigh) gets murdered well before the film’s conclusion. It’s not that these new technologies have made writers shy away from the twist ending technique — it’s that fewer movies come off as original, and, because of this, fewer people tolerate a lack of creative storytelling.
