Movie Endings That Sparked Major Controversy
video description
I liked the kidnapped part of the movie & the mystery of trying to figure out if Howard is the telling truth or just some old conspiracy theorist gone crazy. I also enjoyed the suspense & anticipation of waiting for the aliens to enter the film, plus the set up for a sequel.
I think that the people who didn't like the surprise ending are people who don't like their predetermined movie plot expectations to be challenged.
To me it would've been controversial if the UFO didn't show up!
BTW John Goodman is a great actor considering he from Dan (lovable TV dad on Roseanne) to Howard.

The Interview pissed me off too. Hollywood and the American culture have this thing of making fun of other countries and try to make it seem like its not a big deal. You cant make fun of another country's president and even worse make kill them in the movie and then try to act like it just cool. The Interview was an act of war. The people that hacked Sony were right to do so.
Imagine if some company in a different country decided to make a movie about spies who go to America and then kill their president, the whole of America would be furious, but if they do it to another country they act like its just fine. American learn to respect other countries.

I hated the Do the right thing. Im not Racist but it could have caused violence. If my memory serves me the beginning was with Soike as a delivery man for a pizza place owned by an Italian man. He had photos or Dean Martin and Sinatra and Bing. And the black kids asked him why he didnt have any pics of black people. He answered he likes who he likes and there are no blacks in the entertainment industry he liked. An argument then happened with both sides holding their ground. And it basically Wes I
osculates more and more until a race war starts and the pizza place gets destroyed. Sounds a lot like real life now!

Spike Lee the difference is your movie was Race Baiting before the Obama era when as you see with the steady diet of anti-cop race baiting articles and media real cops got really assassinated, 'cops be racist ya'll' was federalist propaganda, so your money really was politically dangerous whereas a Schwarzenegger film is violent but doesn't imply the cops are racist and therefore the only 'black thing' to do is start a violent riot. You are a huge racist Spike Lee, and a D-bag human being who happens to be a black supremacist.

The reaction to Do the Right Thing had a bit of a racial bias, they implied a certain audience would go out and riot because of a movie, while never putting those expectations on audiences of other films. Its comparable to the phantom gangs of black people attacked me when i went to see black panther hoaxes that popped up after that film was released. Im not trying to argue about race but I do believe that its interesting how folks jumped to such an extreme conclusion from a movie scene.

Did 10 Cloverfield Lane really spark controversy? The only complaints I remember were about the fact that the aliens in this movie were different than the aliens in the original Cloverfield. And personally, I loved the ending to 10 Cloverfield Lane. Just when it seems like Howard was just plain crazy and Michelle is free, we find out the aliens are real. It's a great shock - and her experiences in Howard's bunker have prepared her to deal with it. Everything fits together perfectly.

When my son went to the cinema to see IT part 1, hw walked out Raging after half an hour. He is on the spectrum and a stickler for the book to movie thing (was nothing like the book) he has read all Stephen kings books and now refuses to go aww anything that's adapted from a book. I don't blame him tbh. Even though I'm not on the spectrum (degree in psychology) I agree I cannot read a book and then go see it made into a film because I know it will be completely different.

My problem with the end of Do the Right Thing is that it's awkwardly staged, and doesn't seem as authentic or spontaneous as what came before it. I'm talking mostly about the part when Sal destroys Radio Raheem's boom box and the initial fight breaks out. But the rest of the film is so brilliant, that this is really a venial sin, totally forgivable. And I never worried about the movie causing riots. That was just white folks buggin'.

About the Spike Lee film: People don't tend to riot if they are invested in a system. If they have opportunities to protect (jobs, standing in the community, political power etc) they tend to work within the system to get what they want and need. The fact that people were concerned that Do The Right Thing would lead to violence exposes real disenfranchisement. I mean you don't see nurses trashing a local business.

I loved 10 cloverfield lane and wasnt that satisfied with the ending at first, but now I kinda like the whole idea of her knowing what shes getting into before going right to the aliens. Though I wouldve preferred a creepier ending, like maybe she doesnt know about the aliens at all until she hears it on the radio, and its left ambiguous whether she actually goes to help. Idk lol
