      ​@@purplebean8989 In my opinion, I think the ending was perfect. They weren't killed for shock value at all. I really just can't get over how ignorant that statement is. The thing that makes the father regret working for Hitler isn't the mere fact that his son died, but the fact that if he didn't work for him at all, he and his family wouldn't have had moved there. Not only that, but if Hitler didn't make the camps at all, his son wouldn't have died. I don't mean to be rude but the only thing that seems lazy is the story going exactly as it was perceived to be going (the mother taking the kids and moving away). The fact of the matter is people died. Children died. The father was only able to see how wrong it was after his own son joined that number.

      There is many differences that make the ending better in the book, but the main big difference is it doesn't just end in shock value. The mother goes back to Berlin and leaves her husband behind. He becomes depressed and starts assaulting his own soldiers. It ends with the allies liberating the camp and ending the war, and the father goes with them willingly, hoping to die because of the guilt and grief about what happened to his son.

      yeah, I feel like they didn't really get the movie by adding it to this list. Just when you thought you had it figured out that Constance had set David up, it's revealed he was in on it all along, and makes you less....sympathetic....to the cause. It was a good twist.

      I agree with both of you. I rank it in the top twenty of favorite films. It makes you think how many basically innocent people have been executed. I personally don't believe in the death penalty for a variety of reasons but this idea of a possible innocent person put to death for just one murder is probably the strongest reason.

      Yeah, most of the movies from that list had in fact fitting endings or twists. I was particular annoyed by their reasoning for The Son, The Life of David Gale and The Boy in the striped Pyjamas. These movies had the exact endings for very good reasons and to include them between bad horrorflicks is just tasteless. I guess they wanted to make an edgy list but it more looks like they just didnt understand the movies.

Unfortunately for me I ended up choosing that movie and because I was under 13 I did watch it with a parent which was my mom. We were both utterly shocked at the ending. I’m pretty sure I was crying. Now when I think of that movie, that horrible ending is all I can remember. Even 16 years later I haven’t forgotten that ending.

The worst is the end of the book..again all taken from the child's POV...right up until the dreaded scene. Absolutely NO nazi sympathising at all.

Now anyone under 30 doesn't know what a "9/11" is anymore never mind the Holocaust. 1 in 10 Americans have never heard the word "Holocaust" before. 1 in 3 thought the death toll was fewer than 2 million. Nearly half of Americans could not name a single concentration camp. Are these the same air-heads who smile and take selfies at the gates of Auschwitz? It's not a Disney movie or Free Willy.

    Looking for Mr Goodbar. Yes, it's faithful to the book, but no. Just no. She should have escaped and realised that she doesn't have to screw around to find the right man.

    2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY has a disturbing ending, but it is what made it a CLASSIC

    Wasn't pay it forward an actual true story and that ending legitimately happened.

      Pay it Forward was a fictional story adapted from the book Pay it Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde.

    Pay It Forwards ending seemed almost necessary to get to the outcome Trevor wanted. Its one of the most shocking endings ever and really did come out of no where, but great non the less. Movie came out when I was 9 and filmed in my city, and I cry every single time I watch it.

    The best way to ensure lots of comments and engagement is to deliberately produce polarising content

    I'm' glad you threw the word "relatively" before the phrase "grounded slasher movie".

    The Entity and The Number 23 were great films. Another two films you’re wrong about.

    A lot of these are "ruined" simply because you couldnt predict them.. I thought the son killing himself was a great touch. Also the Mist had an awesome ending!
