'The End'

reply

I've only seen a few Woody Allen movies and I've enjoyed each one as they unfold, but the endings always seem extremely unresolved to me.

Before anyone jumps on me, I should clarify: I wasn't looking for a clichéd Hollywood ending here. I love plenty of dark endings, mysterious endings etc. The problem to me is that there doesn't seem to be "any" ending in the few Allen films that I've tried. It's one thing to leave ambiguity and quite another to leave loose ends in virtually every subplot of the movie. This film was endearing and interesting enough that I was still able to give it a solid 8, even disliking the ending. I did think that the final professor bit with the speech was a nice poignant wrap-up line.

It drove home the point that "Nice guys often really do finish last".

"Sorry. If I've not responded to you either it wasn't necessary or I've set you to Ignore."

Yes, that's it. So what is the problem?
