Warning: The following article contains spoilers regarding
the ending of the movies, “Martha Marcy May Marlene” and “Warrior”.
You’ve watched a movie that is so marvelous, you can barely
think of what is coming around the bend because you are so absorbed in all of
the events that are being portrayed. The movie has you enraptured, deeply
within its grasp and then…it ends.
Not just any ending though, a completely
‘Where the heck did that come from?’ ending. Sometimes the movie does not even give you that, it just ends abruptly with the
screenwriter expecting you to finish where they left off and make up your own
ending.
This can culminate in hours of frustration
and obsessive bristling whenever the film is brought up or mentioned, in the future. At first,
you remember it fondly until, your mind warps back to remind you of the
hauntingly unfinished ending that permeated the rest of the film.
