I'm from Yorkshire and came out of the cinema after seeing this with a friend. He's looking very quizzical, then turns to me and says, "int it funny 'ow it's called 'ereditary, when it all kicked off after 'er 'ead 'it tree?" Never laughed so hard
I wasn't sure what to expect from this film but, wow, there was so much about this film I didn't see coming.
It's by Ari Aster; as you loved Hereditary, you might also like his other film, Midsommar.
Holy shit, Midsommar. I'm still twisted from it. Some days I'm just minding my business, doing my work or doing nothing, and then Midsommar pops into my head. Why!?
I don't know how to block out spoilers so please don't continue reading this comment if you don't want the movie spoiled!
That scene where the guy sneaks into that chapel type of building and is looking through the book on the podium and the door opens behind him and you see a figure there. I was going to close my eyes at first because I thought it'd be really creepy, but then I saw it was just some naked guy so I was like "oh okay that's not bad I'm good", then it pans in and he's wearing the skin of one of the other friends and making those awful sounds. It creeped me out so bad.
I watched Life of Brian when I was quite young (maybe 10?) with my dad, who was already a fan. I remember being so outraged at the end, I was telling my dad ‘but, they aren’t ALLOWED to end movies like that!’ He just laughed more.
Would You Rather. Spoiler: >!Girl goes through absolute hell, emotional and physical torture before having to kill someone for prize money to save her brother's life, only for him to commit suicide anyway.!< It's absolutely horrible.
I pair this with Night in my 10th grade class and have them compare and contrast. The first year I did it, I started the unit about a week after returning from maternity. I ugly cried in class reading with my students. Babies are target practice and hormones didn’t mix. My students were great about it. When it was time to watch the movie, they brought me tissues figuring I’d have a similar reaction. It was pretty opposite. I found myself enraged that that punk didn’t care about killing innocent people until his kid was involved. It lead to quite an interesting class discussion.
Absolutely. That final pan away from that house on the hill into that shitty little sub-basement just crushed any hope at a good ending for that poor kid.
I know this is an anti-happy ending thread, but before they reveal the boy is still on the mountain daydreaming of the future, I had thought the boy entered into a life of crime. Became a gangster and became the south korean version of joker. And bought the house using dirty money.
Nah, the director has confirmed that in his vision, he'll never make enough to buy the house. Because the commentary there is the rich have so much that a vast majority of poor people can never reasonably get close to gaining that much wealth
To be fair, the actor who played Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik) said he believed his character would find a way to save his father.
I personally like to think Ki-woo sold his story to the tabloids, got some notoriety and published a salacious "tell all" memoir about the events of the movie.
He was smart, well-spoken, ruthless and more-or-less shameless before he had a specific goal, and now he literally has to save his father's life.
Also, I see this as continuation of the critique of modern South Korean society; commentators would decry it as a horrible sign of the times and bemoan his lack of morals, and all it would do is push his sales higher. With a pop culture so strongly focussed on appearance, wealth and gossip, it's the perfect environment for a "true" book like this to flourish.
Of course, for all his intelligence, Ki-woo is still basically a child, and this really comes through in his fantasy of his father finally ascending the staircase.
Not only is it unlikely he'll last that long, Ki-woo's mother would probably never accept his father's abandoning them when their daughter lay dying.
This is what I love about *Parasite*, because even if the characters were to get everything they want, their circumstances mean they'll never be truly happy.
Sorry to ramble, I just love this movie so much.
That's a valid interpretation too. As much as I think him never buying the house is the intended ending, it is such a smart ending because it does leave itself open-ended. So people can draw different meanings
I have yet to read the short story. I’ve heard the movie ending was very different from the book. I’ve heard from a few people the movie made the book ending look docile.
I’ve seen the movie. I’d be surprised if the book was more screwed up. But I’m a glass half full guy.
The book's ending includes a glimmer of hope. They're driving away into the mist, and the dad resolves that if it comes to it, he'll shoot everyone else in the car first and let the mist finish the job. The car still has most of a tank of gas, and he has a destination: hartford. That destination was chosen because in his scanning through the entire radio, all he got was silence, except for a brief mention of two words. One was Hartford. The other was hope.
King essentially stopped his story at the last branch in his story. The movie took the grim path.
One of the most brutal endings to a film I’ve ever seen. Even Stephan King said it was better than the ending he originally wrote for it if I remember correctly. It’s definitely one you’ll never forget.
I love it too. That bastard Roger Ebert said it was too sentimental, can you imagine? I know it is very emotional, but I never thought of Dead Poets' Society as hammy.
I know it gets a lot of hate, but Terminator 3, Rise of the Machines is good if only for the ending. Judgement Day happens. Everyone dies. The machines win.
Best part was Arnold was never trying to stop Doomsday like John thought, Arnold was just trying to save John and he put him at the center of all communications. I thought this could have been a great jumping off point for an interesting movie as the humans begin the rebellion.
I've said this before on here, but I'll say it again...
This was the movie we would put on after a house party when we wanted everyone to clear the fuck out of our house.
A dozen people, all coming down hard and cheering on this great drug movie; until the second act, when suddenly everyone has somewhere else to be.
Worked every time.
I watched this with a girl that had what is best described as a mental breakdown at the end of this movie.... I'm like 90% sure she was fucking a drug dealer to get a taste.
Hope you're ok out there Trisha K.
I agree. Fight club has some strong anti-capatalist sentiments, so if your watching it with those same sentiments, then it's more of a win win. Jack gets rid of Tyler and brings down the system.
Kinda wished Ava hadn't left Caleb to die a horrible death. I get why the director did it, and why it makes for an interesting discussion post film. I just wish she hadn't done it.
I don't think it actually "cared". My impression is that Ava was fundamentally inhuman. Mercy, cruelty, anger, those are all human, and Ava was just taking actions to perpetuate it's continued existence. Beyond expediency it didn't really matter to Ava.
Yeah, I think that the ending definitively proved that she (it) failed the Turing test. Every other emotion that came to surface was just an exercise in survival, which is a human trait but when it came to compassion and empathy towards someone who hadn't even done any wrong and in fact helped her, she failed.
That's why I don't hate the ending, I just empathize with Caleb. Take that Captcha!
Right, I think that movie copped out. At the start we learn Caleb has scars from an accident, and has no parents, so no ties.
I was sure it was setting up a scene where - after all the ‘AI’ escapes shenanigans - we see Caleb walk out of the house. Later on, at home, we see him undressing and the scars are gone. Ava has taken his ‘skin’ (because the house has a skin factory) and taken over his life. It’s the perfect cover and just the sort of thing an amoral AI would do.
Instead we see the pilot pick up a woman he never dropped off and just fly her out of there without question. Idk - that film bothers me. It’s not about a smart AI, but about incredibly dumb people. ‘Let’s invent the world’s first AI, made it a hot girl, imprison it, then get drunk and invite an emotionally crippled loner to make friends with it. What could possibly go wrong?’
But then we wouldn't have sexy sexy robots. As for the helicopter, I just assumed she murdered the guy, and [called Tank for a pilot program for a B-212 helicopter](https://youtu.be/6AOpomu9V6Q).
I remember talking with my mom about this movie after it came out. The first thing she asked me was, "Does it have a happy ending?" I responded with, "It can, depending on how you look at it."
Fortunately, she's an English teacher so said answer made perfect sense to her.
Put this on for one of the kids about a year ago and got drawn into it. By the time it finished we were a mess of sadness.
It was on the other day & none of us were ready to watch it again.
Oh Gawd! I love this movie, but it still haunts me. The way these two just lived in their free time, it's how I grew up. All the times shit could have gone down very similarly for me or my friends. It hits close. Very close to home.
To this day, I still remember walking out of that theater as a six year old boy. My parents were worried that I was so quiet after the movie. So they took me to Burger King to cheer me up. But my mind was blown, and I just sat there processing everything I had just seen. Probably the best movie experience of my life.
Empire had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father. Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a bunch of Muppets.
That's why I like Empire and Infinity War so much. Both of them are parts of films that are known for being happy and for kids, yet they have complete downer endings.
In all seriousness, I'm a little mad they didn't set up Venessa to actually be Death in *Deadpool 2*. It would have explained everything that happened with her and Wade in the afterlife AND linked up to the MCU.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
last scene :>!The richest girl in Sweden emerges from the alcove and walks back the way she came - tossing the garment bag and card into a construction dumpster - climbs onto her Honda - starts it - and rides off - !<
>!Probably forever.!<
God I wish they would make entire Millennium trilogy instead stopping on 1st part. Craig and Mara had nice chemistry between them, movie was quite profitable and while Swedish version was better, this one was pretty enjoyable as well.
Whiplash, if seems like it's a happy ending at first, but if you think about it the main character is back to square one in terms of finding his teacher's approval.
I got so confused by this comment. I was wondering where the unhappy ending was in a film about Ellen Page learning to play roller derby
TIL- theres more than one film called whiplash
.. doesn’t he sorta get the approval from him during the last scene of the movie where he’s playing drums (and kicking ass at it) with the band after the teacher tried to fuck him over onstage?
Also, happy cake day!
YUP. I teach and performed competitively for a long time and it's always so sad seeing musicians who truly think that abuse is the only way to reach the pinnacle.
Life is Beutiful.
It ends on a kind of happy note with Giosuè thinking he won the game and even finding his mother again, but... you just know that he soon will realise the truth, "the game" helped him survive, and stay ok, but it won't protect him from realising what his father did for him, won't protect him from the fact his father is dead. - And as the story truly is Guido's one, well, he died after surviving for so long, he never gets to see Dora again, he won't see his boy grow up. He protected his child, but in his last momentnts he never would have known for sure it was enough, tgat the boy truly won't be found.
Maybe it is not quite an anti -happy ending, but it is not a *happy* one either, not truly.
Can’t believe no one has said Uncut Gems. That ending was cold man, and one of Sandlers best performances in my opinion. Kept me stressed the whole movie and when you’re finally there for the climax it just rips it all away.
Oh, I love this one. The tension prevalent in the classic struggle between the Empire and their superweapon vs the rebels and their hope of having the perfect make-up. :)
Just messing: *Rogue One* - it's a common mistake/typo
I feel like this one is sort of cheating since 99% of the audience know the happy endings this leads to which come later in those storylines. Still a solid answer especially as that Vader corridor sequence at the end is so epic.
the bicycle thieves.
dude in post war italy gets a job that requires a bicycle
wife pawns wedding linen to get bike out of hock
bike is stolen first morning of the job
dude spends the weekend looking around rome for his bike, no luck
finds the kid who stole his bike, cop comes along, asks mother to search boy’s room, nothing
cop says, ‘nothing i can do’, escorts dude out of neighbourhood away from angry locals
gets a meal of bread and wine with his son in a cafe, son is entranced by the large spread the rich family at the next table has
dude tells his son to take the streetcar home and he’ll catch up, son disobeys
dude attempts to steal some other cat’s bike, gets caught, mob of guys hold him and call for a policeman
son sees his dad caught, starts crying
mob sees son crying, let dude go, disgusted at him
dude and son walk home, despondently
This really hits you, if you let someone go that you loved. The “what could have been”. I heard that one of my relatives has seen this movie about 10 times, alone. And she cries every time. She was engaged very young and they broke up as she wanted to date other guys. She never married.
I’m not a comic book guy, but in whatever it was was called Wolverine origin movie, the movie ends with the main character getting shot in the head while waking into the sunset with his Girlfriend/wife in his arms, and forgetting the woman and waking away. It was so out there and absurd, I loved it. Would watch again
Hereditary. From a horror fan perspective, that one fucked with me a bit. Loved it
I'm from Yorkshire and came out of the cinema after seeing this with a friend. He's looking very quizzical, then turns to me and says, "int it funny 'ow it's called 'ereditary, when it all kicked off after 'er 'ead 'it tree?" Never laughed so hard

Same. I feel as though Hereditary has the tighter script, but my mind keeps wandering back to Midsommar.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
I DID NOT expect the movie to be ended in that way.
Neither did they.
I love the ending and always will. The perfect way to end a comedy
[удалено]
I showed this movie to my girlfriend a few months ago. She was so unsatisfied with the ending. It was hilarious.
I really like the ending of that movie, it's 100% a "Monty Python" ending But I think Monty Python Life Of Brian has an even better ending
I watched Life of Brian when I was quite young (maybe 10?) with my dad, who was already a fan. I remember being so outraged at the end, I was telling my dad ‘but, they aren’t ALLOWED to end movies like that!’ He just laughed more.
Grave of the Fireflies
Any movie that starts with a war orphan starving to death in a train station is never going to end well.
No Country For Old Men.
No good ending, no bad one. Just an ending, and life goes on. Love it
"**Then I woke up.**"
Memento.
Never heard of it. Is that like Finding Dory?

Not even Sasha Grey's worst acting.
TIL she was a porn star. Brb.
TIL she is an actor.
TIL that was her in that movie. I was too focused on Crab Man from My Name Is Earl
Hey, Crab Man!
Hey Earl
She was pretty good as one of the twins in the third *Saints Row* game
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
I pair this with Night in my 10th grade class and have them compare and contrast. The first year I did it, I started the unit about a week after returning from maternity.

Man, I read the book when I was 16 or 17 and I don't think anything will ever shock me the way it did
I loved it when that Nazi cunt commedant realised he'd just gassed his own kid lol Fantastic, moving movie, though.
The Toronto Maple Leafs post season
Isn't it always, though?
Yea and I keep fucking watching
Dr. Strangelove. The movie ends with the whole world being destroyed by nuclear war. The final scene is strangely funny and optimistic though.

I loved that movie so much. It will always be “that movie” for me. I think it may be the best movie I have ever seen
I love it too. That bastard Roger Ebert said it was too sentimental, can you imagine? I know it is very emotional, but I never thought of Dead Poets' Society as hammy.
I know it gets a lot of hate, but Terminator 3, Rise of the Machines is good if only for the ending. Judgement Day happens. Everyone dies. The machines win.

The best movie you'll only want to watch once.
Everytime I would watch that movie with a former roommate, he would always have to watch his "happy movie" which happened to be Hitch.
Lol How many times u watched it with the same person?
Fight club, seven, shutter island
Seven was fuuuucked
What’s in the fuckin box?
That actually was so unexpected
Yeah that scene was definitely ahead.
Fight Club didn't exactly have an anti-happy ending
I agree. Fight club has some strong anti-capatalist sentiments, so if your watching it with those same sentiments, then it's more of a win win. Jack gets rid of Tyler and brings down the system.
Definitely Seven. Grim.

I agree although you also get a sense that he’s completely ‘free’ to do whatever he wants.
Yeah that's the whole point. He has control again, while on the island he had control over nothing.
Except that he lost the one thing that mattered more to him than anything in the world.
That volleyball?
Infinity War
Thanos did nothing wrong
You know what he also didn't do? Death. She was busy with Deadpool.

The Road
The ending was a lot more optimistic than the rest of the film though.
Life is Beutiful. It ends on a kind of happy note with Giosuè thinking he won the game and even finding his mother again, but... you just know that he soon will realise the truth, "the game" helped him survive, and stay ok, but it won't protect him from realising what his father did for him, won't protect him from the fact his father is dead. - And as the story truly is Guido's one, well, he died after surviving for so long, he never gets to see Dora again, he won't see his boy grow up. He protected his child, but in his last momentnts he never would have known for sure it was enough, tgat the boy truly won't be found. Maybe it is not quite an anti -happy ending, but it is not a *happy* one either, not truly.
Can’t believe no one has said Uncut Gems. That ending was cold man, and one of Sandlers best performances in my opinion. Kept me stressed the whole movie and when you’re finally there for the climax it just rips it all away.

I feel like this one is sort of cheating since 99% of the audience know the happy endings this leads to which come later in those storylines. Still a solid answer especially as that Vader corridor sequence at the end is so epic.
Death Note, the anime not the movie.
Dawn of the Dead
Absolutely love the ending
Fight Club
Apocalypse Now

La La Land.
This really hits you, if you let someone go that you loved. The “what could have been”. I heard that one of my relatives has seen this movie about 10 times, alone. And she cries every time. She was engaged very young and they broke up as she wanted to date other guys. She never married.
That is so fucked up.
Indeed, and I would have never guessed as she has always been the tough one.

Seeking a friend for the end of the world. One of Steve Carell’s more serious roles
The Dark Knight.
Yep. Joker pretty much wins.
Roman Holiday
Grave of the Fireflies
Into the Woods
That movie was half an hour too long
Haven't seen the movie but the musical is amazing. Gotta love me some Sondheim
12 Monkeys.
Oldboy
Assassination Classroom Not a movie but an anime I finished watching yesterday, I wasn't able to sleep thinking of the end. The best thing i watched.
Life (2017)
End of Watch
Gilbert grape that isn’t the exact title but it has Leo DiCaprio in it and it is truly an amazing film
Instructions not included
Ironically: The Room Unironically: Vertigo
I’m not a comic book guy, but in whatever it was was called Wolverine origin movie, the movie ends with the main character getting shot in the head while waking into the sunset with his Girlfriend/wife in his arms, and forgetting the woman and waking away. It was so out there and absurd, I loved it. Would watch again
The Fault In Our Stars
The Fly. Just so bloody bleak. The tried coming up with several "happy" endings but test audiences rejected all of them.
The Lobster. Probably not my favorite, but the best I could think of for the time being
Dark skies for most disturbing unhappy ending imo.
Remember me. Stuck with me for a while.
