A film without an ending


This says it all:

"It depends on how I feel that day. And of course that pisses off a lot of people because they’re not used to a film without an ending. But what the *beep* is an ending, you know?” - Nicolas Winding Refn, Director 'Fear X'

Had I known that piece of information beforehand I wouldn't have wasted 90 minutes of my life

You already HAVE killed yourself, mate. You have NOTHING to offer the world. Read your pathetic sentence: "so why not kill youreself youre using up the air". You died the second you were given freedom of speech.

The movie 'ended'. There wasn't an 'ending'; ordinary or otherwise.

"so youre saying you didnt know what happened to his wife?" - what are you talking about? Where did I say that? What is this - insert a hypothetical line and argue with yourself?

By the way, you want to read the Directors own comments about this imaginery ending you saw and the rest of us didn't.

I think the "ending" is clear, if you disagree perhaps you should stick to reality TV. OR...go back and watch it for a second time and fill in the blanks.
If this movie pissed you off, Lost Highway would make you dig your eyeballs out with a spoon.

you should stick to reality TV


Huh? I know very little about reality TV because I just don't watch it. But obviously you do, otherwise you wouldn't reference it. What do you watch? Is it something about Paris Hilton or Anna Nicole Smith?

And the ending that you see, but that the director himself readily admits there was a lack off - purely to annoy the audience - is very obviously not there. Unless you and everyone else claims to see it simply to make yourself appear so much more intelligent than these people you quote, these reality TV viewers.

I've noticed on these threads there is always somebody disputing it having a terrible ending. Always somebody implying everyone else is stupid because the ending is so clear. So, here, I'll give it to you again:

If you think about it he does have a point, the world moves on. I mean, the ending is just the end of the movie.

But I wasnt too happy bout it either...
