16. [SPOILERS for Snowpiercer, The Grey, No Country for Old Men]

Since the writer/director/creator chose to end their movies that way, doesn't that indicate that they're all ambiguous on purpose?

[replicantangel]

This. I grant to the OP that there's a distinct difference between abrupt and ambiguous. ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is an example of an ambiguous but not abrupt ending - did she die? did she land? do they see each other again? Yeah, I guess I never understood that film.) But it seems like OP is mostly thrown off by movies that end at ambiguous but *also* high-action moment (or close to high-action). Honestly, I feel like the ending of "The Grey" is pretty obvious, but after all the action, it doesn't *need* to show one last fight. You know what's going to happen. It ends just as your adrenalin gets pumped up again.

I guess I can get why OP doesn't like that, but yeah, I'm pretty sure the writer/director/creator is intending the exact ending they put on film. One film is not ambiguous "on purpose" while one was abrupt on accident.

[peablossom]

IA about "The Grey" it didn't have to show what happened, I felt like I knew anyway. But I also didn't think "No Country" was ambiguous, either, just depressing. Sadly, I have yet to see Snowpiercer.

[replicantangel]

I liked Snowpiercer a lot. Close the end, it got a bit of WTFery going on, but the end itself wasn't a shock. All of it is very grim, but that's pretty obvious from the get-go.

Chris Evans was really good, but I think the rest of the cast was even better, especially Tilda Swinton and Song Kang-Ho. Their characters were just more interesting to me, I think.

[tabaqui]

TILDA, omg, i adored her in this. I love how she'll go so far into quirky/weird/ugly (in many ways) characters.

[replicantangel]

She is always flawless and a total chameleon.

is this about movies or fics

Man, I read a fic with a really inadequate ending just the other day. It was annoying.

...sorry, just came here to say that.

[kallanda_lee]

Haven't seen "The Grey", it doesn't bother me for "No Country for Old Men", though I do not think it's as good as they say they are.

Snowpiercer - that's just a properly shit ending. Congratulations, you achieved the extinction of the human race and pretend that's a good thing.

[(Anonymous)]

How would you have had Snowpiercer end, then? As Wilford said, the train had made everyone at least a little insane; do you really see it as a fixable situation? From the get-go, I saw the ONLY possible ending to be everyone either dying or realizing the futility of things and committing suicide.

[kallanda_lee]

I dunno, WAS everyone insane? There were quite a few people on that train, and I'd hardly say they all deserved to die.

[(Anonymous)]

The ending is ambiguous - we don't KNOW that the human race has been wiped out.

[comma_chameleon]

I hate ambiguous endings period. XD It drives me crazy when a movie (or TV show) just ends and nothing's explained. I know it's probably intended as a, "You can decide whether he was really crazy/it was just a dream/whatever's left up in the air." but I don't like that. Just tell me what happened so I can get on with my life.

[ariakas]

Wot.

Just like "Inception", the purpose of ending "The Grey" like that was ambiguity. And there wasn't anything abrupt about the ending of "No Country For Old Men" - it ends when he finishes off the last person responsible, just like you'd think it would.

Haven't seen Snowpiercer, but now I have my doubts.

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP, but I hated the ending for No Country for Old Men. Having it end with that Bardem character (forgot his name) just walking off, would work for me, but IIRC, it ended quite abruptly after Tommy Lee Jones' character talks about his dream.

I've read up on it, and sort of understand it better now, but from a viewing perspective, to have that speech and then BOOM!ended, just felt really jarring to me. It would have worked better for me with the bad guy just walking off and disappearing. But then, there were a number of stylistic choices in the film that I didn't care for, so my dislike for the ending may just be an extension of that.

Snowpiercer spoilers!

[elephantinegrace]

I haven't seen The Grey, so I can't comment on that, and I absolutely agree that No Country For Old Men had a really WTF ending, but I would actually say that the ending of Snowpiercer was more ambiguous than abrupt. I mean, Yona and Timmy survived the explosion, so isn't it plausible that somebody else could have, too? 25% of the train's population was still alive, and it was a huge train, so that's not a small number of people.

That being said, though, I've spent my whole life thinking that facial hair is unattractive. But Chris Evans can rock that look from here to my bed.

-cough- Did I say that?

[cushlamochree]

I absolutely love ambiguous and abrupt endings. They're absolute crack to me. Even if they don't really make sense. I love them in a way that can't really be traced to any rational reason. Especially in books ugh completely sudden endings are so brilliant but also in movies. I loved the ending to No Country. Maybe I'm just pretentious idk.

I can understand how someone would not like them, though. It's very much an aesthetic choice, in a lot of cases, to leave things incomplete or to create some effect by suddenly stopping things at a particular moment. It's a conscious choice but it's not one that everyone is going to like.
