Seriously, its all good you didnt like the ending (or "get" the ending for that matter).
I wouldnt expect a simpleton Misery fan to understand film like this.
The FACT that it won a bunch of Oscars assures it is a brillant film and highly praised by critics everywhere. I will take their opinions over yours anyday of the week and twice on Sundays.

Dude. You're not helping (and take note, we're arguing the same side).

UM I don't like missouri. I like Penn State. I don't care whit critics say or Oscars they won. I wasn't offering you my opinion. Quite to the contrary I wouldn't walk across the street to offer you my piss to put you out if you were on fire.
Furthermore, your opinion is of such little consequence that as I type this I'm feeling ashamed of myself because I felt compelled to respond your blathering. [Reply]

Annie Hall, Adaptation and Amadeus are timeless.
He could've made his point by observing that 'Shakespeare in Love' was just Hollywood spooging themselves over their own in-jokes.
I didn't mean to offend.....I actually enjoyed some of the movies that I mentioned....but wouldn't consider them GREAT. Obviously I should edit better. But because they earned an Oscar or two, Midnight Douche thinks thae are great. Oh shit, I just used the phrase....Midnight Douche thinks.....sorry. [Reply]

Oh great, you're just another Claythan. You're just another wannabe movie snob that wants to try to look smart by calling everyone else ignorant because the movie, in truth, was fucking boring. And I know, I know, you're going to take that tired, worn out "you're not smart enough to get it" angle. The goal of a movie should be to entertain, and IMO, it didn't [Reply]
The decision wasn't hasty at all. They had been driving around in the mist (slowly, one would assume, since they were driving in mist and couldn't see) long enough to completely run out of gas (we're talking hours here, not minutes). They obviously encountered no other survivors. EVERYBODY who ventured outside (as far as they knew) was killed in a nasty way, and the unlucky ones were killed in a nasty way SLOWLY. There was no hope.
Even it was a few hours that was still hasty when you consider what he did.
And no, not everyone ended up with that fate. The father himself ventured out and back. Why not wait and see if what ended up happening, ended up happening? Why not try the radio?
It was retarded. [Reply]

Also, while we are in agreement in this thread, I wouldn't say that Oscars actually "assure the brilliance" of a film. The Oscar voters make plenty of mistakes/wrong decisions with their awards.

OK, first I want you to recognize I have not once said in this thread that anyone was right or wrong in their assertions. Just that I disagree.
That said, to say "the goal of a movie should be to entertain" ... that is incorrect.
Movies are for entertainment... and can be so much more.
The art of film (or any art for that matter) can be, and absolutely should be whenever it can, more, even a catalyst for change.
Just because all YOU want out of a movie is to be entertained is not to say that is all the artists involved in making it wanted.
If you don't like "art films" then don't see them. They weren't made for you (the universal you - those who don't like them).
The Coens, like it or not, are artists. Their films speak more than just on the surface. [Reply]
