And that's fine by me because it keeps me from having to use my intellect, which I am trying to stockpile in case I live to be 100 and still need it. That's right, there are folks out there making money by giving their interpretations of movies that have no endings. It's gotten so bad that I follow several YouTube channels that explain movie endings. Oh, and you can never, ever – ever times a gabillion – read the CliffsNotes to see if you were correct." Then come up with your own ending so I can psychoanalyze your pitiful and clueless interpretation.
But movies today feel more than a like an assignment in one of my college literary classes: "Now, students, tonight I want you to read this epic poem by Homer except for the last two pages. When I watch a movie, I want to be entertained. If I wanted to think, I'd learn new math. If I wanted to actually think, I wouldn't be watching be watching an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. Why would anyone put us through such torture? The usual excuse is that the writer wanted the audience to figure out what happened next. The growing trend in movie scripts these days is to leave the audience hanging, especially in scary movies. You have to carry it through to "Face it, girls, I'm older and I have more insurance." Now that's a good ending to a story.
But would you leave a friend hanging at "Face it, lady, we're younger and faster?" No.
