That's kind of the weird thing that M. Night Shyamalan has sort of unleashed upon the world is this need for every movie to have these ridiculous endings.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Endings are really hard to do, and it's hard to do an ending where it's sort of collaborative with thousands and thousands of people, and to satisfy all those people is impossible.
I think too often in films, people think endings are a summation of plot, and I don't like that. Because once you know where you're going as an audience member, then it's like a video game. You're just waiting for them to get through the levels and beat the bad guy. And I just think that's boring.
In film, you can have sad endings.
As an actor, I think a mistake that any storyteller can make is to play the ending.
Yeah, I don't necessarily like endings that contrive an artificial moment of completion.
The trouble with Hollywood films is that they always have a pleasant ending.
I've never done a film before where every single person in the audience knows the ending. I mean suspense, twists are almost impossible these days. People are blogging your endings from their cinema seats.
'Midnight Cowboy' is an exquisite piece of filmmaking. It's insane.
My favorite thing about movies is the ending, and so all my favorite movies have really great endings.
Endings don't have anything to do with what your movie is about. Now, there is an emotional climax, there's an emotional resolution that is 100 percent important. If I get that wrong, get your money back.
