The Most Confusing Movie Endings Explained Pierre: There's nothing ambiguous at the end of Cormac McCarthy's novel, _No Country for Old Men_. In a word, Anton Chigurh wins. Moss and his wife both die, the Sheriff narrowly escapes becoming one more of Chigurh's victims in the deceased Moss's motel room, and retires from a world he's no longer capable of coping with. Chigurh recovers the money from the vent in Moss's room. At that point you'd be forgiven for thinking that Chigurh wanted the money for himself. He does not. Chigurh's view of the world is confirmed, as is his status as a murderous poltergeist who can walk through it mostly unscathed. In a sense, this is like the endings to some of his other books, especially _Blood Meridian_ in which the character the Judge seems to dance through life, always acting on his own inscrutable motives with results that are frequently lethal to other people, while being, himself, almost ageless and timeless and unconquerable. In that way both the Judge and Chigurh are mythological creatures in misleadingly conventional (non-supernatural) stories. In Chigurh's case, the novel ends with his, having recovered from his injuries in the car wreck, returning the cash to the people who hired him to find it, minus his expenses. He essentially tells them he works for them now, and it's implied that he's not asking them, he's telling them. To what future ends, it's not stated nor implied. While the truncated ending works better for the movie, anyone who knows McCarthy's writing knows that he ends the book more bluntly and brutally and much more concisely than even the movie ended.
Honestly, given the totality of McCarthy's work so far, the ending of _The Road_ however sad it is represents probably the most optimistic of any of his stories. Yes, really. Which is saying something considering that _The Road_ is a story so brutal that that even _No Country. _ is tame by comparison. Believe me when I tell you, not all of the novel _The Road_ made it into the movie.

Here goes The Real Birdman explanation. Are you ready? Movie start showing him levitating and asking how we get here? But before that we see flaming meteor in the sky - thats the real begining. Then he just going back to work as usual. Mind work is not over. In this point all happening in his mind alone, he has already died - drowned in waters after medusas killed him. He did not get out of it. He is now working out his relationship especially with his daughter who he did not see - his biggest regret. In mean time his egoistic tendencies keeps coming back at him and distract him again as he fight with them all the time. He can't leave without sorting things out. Was it the great spectacle, the great performance on the stage the meaning of his life? No.
Haven't you asked yourself if what we see is real? Was it not curious to you that he change scenery like in magic dream? From one place to another. One moment he is in bar talking with his biggest critic, he go out make few steps open next door and found his daughter in some place just there as if waiting for him. They both bashed his ego, helped him to realize he is not the centre of the universe. That he does not exist. They inspire him to look deeper for others to drop his tendencies. Even the scene where he shot himself in the head turns out to be. he shot himself in the nose? Really? You still think its real? And when he get off the bandages mask that peculiar resambed birdman mask what we see? A purple nose? Thats it? Wheres gunshot wound from yesterday? Why he got any nose for that matter? The answer is: It's unreal already. Its all happening in his own mind. And when he get out of window, he flyed out and finally let go, droped self importance, and his daughter sees it. In this very moment we see what he see, as he finally percive her and see her happy. Thats liberates him.

The bird man ending has to be the ending that has made me the happiest of all the movie endings in all my life, I love the way of how when Sam sees her father flying through the sky, making her enter into a delusional reality that her father is still alive flying with super powers and making her bond with him even more stronger than before gives me a smile all the time whenever I think about it, its always makes me happy to see the fact that he has succeeded on making himself a real super hero to the eyes of his daughter and to see that she now is on the same direction he was

Regarding No Country for Old Men - saying The world got too violent to quickly and he can no longer cope is a massive cop-out. For starters, the world has simply NOT gotten more violent, this is plain, observable fact - it gets simply less and less violent over time.
But more - I think it's a lot more to do with the type of violence and the in particular, the fact that you can't box the villain in as a typical villain and he doesn't belong in the Western - more so, simply that whole framework just does not adapt to such a villain and fails miserably.

Ok, Vanilla Sky: I did think he just passed out in real life at Sofias house, but after dream Brian acknowledging the fight afterwards with reconciliation and David recognizing Tommy saving the company, years later. Yeah, it was all true but most telling was most quiet: in the beginning he first hears Sofias Open your Eyes, then Julie. Waking up, he hears Julies Relax, David. then Sofias Open your eyes. Sadder it wasnt all a dream, but, better? They went there, for once. Im sure others have caught these but took me forever lol

So I'm always confused why people are confused by Mulholland Drive. It's obvious -- Diane (Naomi Watts) and Camilla (Laura Harring) were lovers, and Camilla broke up with her. In her grief and anger, Diane hired a hitman to kill Camilla. We see the conversation, and he tells her that she will find the blue key when the deed is done. Everything before that -- the story of Betty and Rita -- is Diane's fevered imagination or dream as she is consumed with guilt over what she's done. It really isn't very confusing.

Vanilla Sky is my favorite movie. I literally ball my eyes out the minute he looks up at the vanilla sky and says Let them up there read my mind and then he looks down and Penelope Cruz is standing there so beautifully lit and the beautiful Sigur Ros song starts playing. Ahhh Im getting chills just typing it out. If anyone needs ANY kind of explanation for Vanilla Sky, let me know. I can tell you everything. Ive seen it at least 10x and the original just as much

No Country for Old Men left me and my sister with different views. My sister says that since Llewelyn is about to cheat on his wife, she didn't have the same feeling about his death than I did. After the end, I realized the movie kind of makes you question: do his immoral choices justify his death? It makes you question your own morals. An unfaithful thief deserved to die at the hands of the far worse Anton? Or did you still feel bad that he had died?

Inception - You never wake up into a new dream, you always just end up there mid stride.
Birdman - You'll notice the hing point at his attempted suicide after his play. Suddenly everything turns around. In reality, he is actually dead and everything from the stage suicide forward is him coming to terms with passing on. Seeing his daughter finally accepting him with all his powers puts him at rest, even if it is all in his mind before he dies.
