Most Absurd Movie Endings
-
I just finished watching The FP (basically, a movie about gangs that solve conflicts with Dance Dance Revolution), and it has one of the most absurd movie endings I've seen in a while. Though, it wasn't really out of place, because the whole movie was absurd. Some other wacky movie endings were:
- Cabin Fever. One word: Pancakes!!!!
- Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. I predicted the ending, but I never thought they'd go there. The logistics of planning such an ending and getting that many people involved is just baffling.
Which movies have you seen with less than traditional endings?

Any Spanish horror movie: they have wonderful stories with an interesting plot, but at some place the money or the intelligence ends suddenly like the movie itself. A pity indeed. PS: Any spanish film that's not an horror film ends up being so horrible that could be considered an horror film.

I haven't seen any of those you mentioned, but "The Mist" had a really really outrageously absurd ending.

It's at least better than the Norwegian movies, as they usually ends when everybody in the movie dies. Norwegians appenertly find this quite natural....

Perfume, as you stated. It was also an implausibly weird movie. Recently: The dark knight rises - oh, well. The software was patched by batty bat man, sir. Find him at the French cafe. That's Bollywood style for ye. :laugh:

Classic tragedy. It's not the question who will survive, it's only about how they all die unavoidably.
At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

If only that was the case. Some comedies also have this plot like Dead snow[^]. This movie is actually a little funny, but wierd... And then ther is the Troll Hunter[^], also a comedy/adventure/something with lots of death... The list goes on and on...

A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order. Jean-Luc Godard Though I'm partial to his other quote: All you need for a movie is a girl and a gun.

I found it amazing that it could be adopted for the screen at all. But implausibly weird? In what way? It's good read (even though the middle part bores virtually everyone).

Here's my collection of fragrances (this photo does not have the expensive attars, niche and vintage bottles, and a few ones that were customised for me): https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/gDMjNuVKaVm-97iZYKHhF6unNC4pxdCt6ZkRB32B0AM?feat=directlink

The magic potion of a perfume that he mixes up is totally weird! Olfactory senses are different for people, and there's no one single perfume that will make a mob go crazy in love. I know it's based on a text, but the way several scenes were depicted was totally weird. I'm not saying that I know how better could it be done; perhaps me knowing a little about olfaction and perfumery made me laugh at it. It's like programmers laughing at a movie scene (while others are awestruck) where a whizkid "hacks" into the FBI's network by attaching his pocket calculator to it with a wire and typing something. It's just wrong. :)

Which ending, there were at least 5 AFAICT?

Pardon me sir, but i must discuss this, spanish movies are almost always lacking intelligence, except REC 1 maybe, which was so good the americans needed to make a poor 1 to 1 copy called Quarantine...
Hmm i wonder why its doing that......ARGHS NO STOP, ROLLBACK ROLLBACK...F*** That's how i learned to "Always Backup"!!

"Los otros", "El orfanato", "Los abandonados", "El espinazo del diablo", "Los ojos de Julia", "Darkness", "Abre los ojos". All of them are great movies (and all of them are better than REC IMHO) but apart of "Los otros" (with Nicole Kidman) and "Abre los ojos" (which Hollywood also made it's own version) they all lack of a good final. From my point of view, REC is a so-so film, it's not bad, but it ends more or less in the same line than the rest of the film itself. It is original but if you remove Barcelona from the footage... You have only to see the IMDB points on this film: 60K votes+/- and a 7 in Spanish, but if you go to see the Quarantine IMDB page... it only deserves a 6 and not so much people has voited it... Regarding the fact Hollywood want to make 1 to 1 copies... I guess that it is quite normal. Time ago I went to the cinema to see "Let me in" (the original film from the north of Europe) and I enjoyed it a lot. My wife has not seen much vampire movies and I thought this would be a good one for her to start with. We went to the cinema to see the Hollywood version. It was as nice as the original one, not much improvements there, even the CGI were almost the same, but... actors that appeared on the film were americans. We are so used to see them in films that even myself found the Hollywood version more "close" to my standards. I loved the original one and I loved the Hollywood one (they were almost identical), but the Hollywood one managed to get closer to me. This is why Hollywood port films that are good to their style. It's like what happens when catalan people go to the cinema to see films in catalan... it stills feels strange at the beginning. PS: "the machinist" is another great movie with a great ending, but again one of the three exceptions that confirm the rule.

Okay in part i agree with you on the movies you mentioned. Don't get me wrong i like how spanish movies are evolving in the last 5 years they're getting better and better (well not all of them like " Fuga de cerebros" for instance) Honestly what i would like to see is that people enjoy more our own productions than the copied (pardon my expretion) "Crap" from Hollywood. Why do they have to remake a perfectly good plot with good actors, just because they are not americans?.. Another thing that bugs me of (as a spanish person) are those monumental screw ups in american movies regarding other countries histories/culture. Best example is the mentioning in the movie "Knight & day" with Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz and a SPANISH Actor Jordi Mollà. Where Jordi Mollà has to say that one of the most famous festivals (and very well described by hemmingway btw) is located at Sevilla, which is kind of an insult. That would equal to if i said that the statue of liberty is placed in Washington, or that the Independence day is on 6th of November :doh: If you copy/make a movie of/from a country/version at least keep the facts straight.
