Every single time i see the end of this film my eyes get watery and the fountains go on full strength. It's just such a powerful ending. Im glad the character figure out that in the end to God size doesnt matter.
share!!!ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ENDINGS OF A MOVIE!!!! The ending of this movie use to choke me up as a kid. I never understood that he was just shrinking to an other universe, I originally mistook it for that he was going to disappear into nothing and wasn't scared. He find peace with himself and is going to face his death as man. R.I.P. Richard Matheson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp3iHjGBfT4
shareI guess I'll have to be the skunk at the picnic. The ending was fine as far as its content is concerned, although calling it Shakespearean is a bit much. My problem is that the ending evokes an image of the writers sitting around smoking, drinking coffee and muttering "How are we going to end this $%#@* thing?" The ending has the feel of being tacked on because the film ran out of time or a more complicated ending (I thought spider venom was going to be the antidote) was just too much work. Even if the ending was true to the book, a movie viewer deserves an ending congruent with the rest of the movie. After all it is science fiction/horror not a morality play.
shareYes, that's a deeply moving conclusion, emotional & philosophical at once.
shareNah. Fuck 'im !
