Ambiguous Movie Endings - Page 2

Ambiguity is one of the most important tools in a filmmaker's arsenal for capturing the attention of the audience. Directors have attempted to achieve this mythical quality in their films throughout the history of cinema, spanning all continents. This risky trait is celebrated for a special reason in an expensive art like cinema, where the studio's primary concern is to present the distinguishing quality in a clear, transparent manner. This is because ambiguity delicately presents the possibility of suspense-thrill and drama at the same time, where, in a successful attempt, viewers submerge to the film to the extent that they like to ponder about the film's fictional world long after the film's end and tries to answer the posed questions in weeks. A film achieves the long-lasting effect of short stories in this way. One solution is to leave the ending ambiguous, as a successful amalgam will haunt viewers for a long time before reaching a satisfying conclusion. How many have you seen?
