      The tragic part is that a man who has never functioned or socialized in a normal setting or a real world, with a severe lack of knowledge about almost everything about it, just got loose into it, with no money (which I suppose won't be much problem since he can sue the studio for a literal lifetime of unpaid wages) no family, no where to go, or proper idea of how to function, with a hopefully possibility of one love interest (he could possibly trust), who might be reach him before someone else grabs him in front of the studio and essentially puts him back into the same position of exploitation. We can hope people will still treat him as nice as he was treated in his fake world, but even real world people with the best intentions can be still be absolute dicks.

      @countcapricorn 4 года назад +3

      It just sucks that the book ending, which is the superior one all things considered, would have been a crap ending to the movie due to the difference in medium and storytelling methods involved. So Peter Jackson killed off Saruman and moviegoers got a happy ending, instead of the rude awakening of coming back to the Shire with Saruman in firmly in charge of the place and attempting to respond in kind to what was done to him at Isengard. Thematically, it's thr better ending and served up another aspect of Tolkien's overall message (in this specific case, that somtimes "you can't go home again" and that war can leave some pretty messy problems behind), but having the movie end with solving the Shire's problem after you already stopped Sauron is an awful ending once transitioned to film.

    • @jayluck8047
      @jayluck8047 4 года назад

      countcapricorn - Agreed. I always shut off the movie early and read, “The Scouring of the Shire”. It’s the most satisfying ending.
      The completion of the journey, the lessons learned, and how differently Sam and Frodo handle their returning to the Shire, is the main point of the story and ties into Tolkien’s life during times of war.

      The Silence of the Lambs is my favorite movie, but the ending seems unrealistic. I mean, Buffalo Bill could have easily killed Clarice with his gun since he was wearing night vision glasses and had seen where Clarice was. However, he approached her and tried to kill her at close range, which made the trigger sound and alerted Clarice. She ended up killing him instead with her great reflexes. Also, the fact that the FBI trainee outsmarted the senior FBI agent also confused me.

      It is real, some people claim that it's Alfred's imagination because of Inception which is shown two or 3 years apart, people think that it's Nolan's signature to make people confuse on his movies but actually he didn't do that on the Dark Knight Trilogy because it is a Batman movie which is based on a comic super hero, not all Nolan's movie leave the audience think like in Inception or Tenet.

      With that said though, since you are a fan of the movie, here's a tidbit you might like. I've been to the Titanic graveyard in Nova Scotia. And there are 2 graves with someone named Jack next to someone named Rose. That part of the movie isn't based on real people or anything but it's a little cute that there's that coincidence.

      Literally stared at 10 minutes of VHS blue screen at the end of the movie, convinced it was some sort of joke. That's why it's perfect.

      I guess you could say the ending was a bit of a "cop-out."

      I agree, most anticlimactic ending in history

    Really forgot stepbrothers when the Catalina wine mixer is saved, mom and dad get back together, prestige world wide is back together, they both get chewbacca masks, they get the boat treehouse, Brenan secures his relationship, and they get crossbows
    You cant possibly imagine a better ending
