Looking for closure?
You've come to the wrong place.
Welcome to WatchMojo.com,
and today w're counting down our picks for another Top 10 movies with ambiguous endings.
For this list, we're taking a look at more big screen conclusions that leave certain matters unresolved or open to interpretation.
As if we really need to say this, Spoilers dead ahead !
And if you didn't see a film finale you thought should be on the list,
be sure to check out our first list of the Top 10 Movies with Ambiguous Endings.
No 10: Rosemary's Baby
The ending of " Rosemary's Baby " is bound to chill anyone to the bone.
It's hard to say what's the most disturbing part:
Rosemary's realization that she was raped by the devil, the fact that her satanic neighbors and husband were in on it
or that the new mother decides to nurture the Antichrist regardless.
What really gets under our skin though, is that we never see what becomes of Rosemary's hell's bond.
Is the human racing for a thousand years of darkness?
We're probably better off not knowing.
No 9: Oldboy
In this South Korean mystery, a man named Oh Dae-su is kidnapped, imprisoned and manipulated by a puppet master.
Once released, Dae-su sets out to discover his captor's motives.
Along the way, he falls in love with a young woman named Mi-do.
To Dae-Su's horror, he eventually learns Mi-do is his daughter
and his captor utilizes hypnosis to bring them together intimately.
In the end, Dae-Su is hypnotized again to erase this traumatizing ordeal from his memory.
The final scene however suddenly suggests that some mental scars cannot be healed.
No 8: The Grey
In one corner, we have the alpha wolf armed with a set of ferocious teeth.
In the other we have Liam Neeson armed with a knife and a fistful of glass.
The two charge at one another for one hell of a showdown,
and then we cut to black.
If that's not ambiguous enough, a fleeting post-credits scene reveals the wolf struggling to breath as Neeson rests his head on it.
Did Neeson survive?
Even if the wolf won, will it survive?
The answers will forever remain shaded in the grey.
No 7: The Shining
There are many different ways you can interpret the final image of the Shining,
which reveals a photo taken in 1921 at a Fourth of July Ball.
Standing front and center is Jack, grinning among the crowd of party-goers.
Does it symbolize Jack dying and joining the Overlook Hotel's Ghost Club?
Is Jack a reincarnation of all the previous hotel caretakers trapped in a never-ending cycle?
Or is Stanley Kubrick simply trying to mess with our heads?
It's an ending and a film we'll be analyzing until the end of time.
No 6: In Bruges
Ray arguably doesn't deserve to live.
He murders a priest, accidentally kills a little boy and can generally be the rudest man.
Yet we really don't wanna see him die.
Despite his suicidal tendencies, even Ray doesn't wanna die by the end of " In Bruges "
if only to seek redemption.
As he's mortally wounded, Ray vows to confess his sins to the boy's parents and face the consequences.
Whether Ray lives to redeem himself remains unknown.
Wherever he ends up though, at least it'll be better than Bruges.
No 5: Prisoners
In a pursuit to find his abducted daughter, Keller Dover becomes a figurative prisoner to his paranoia.
He then becomes a literal prisoner as the kidnapper traps him in a secret pit.
Dover's only hope is a whistle,
which just barely catches the attention of Detective Loki before the credits roll.
We can only assume Loki discovers the pit and rescues Dover.
Even then, however, Dover is likely to face a rough trial for imprisoning and torturing a mentally challenged man
who was initially believed to be the Kidnapper.
No 4: Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
The ending of Birdman keeps Riggan Thomson's fate massed in mystery
when he climbs out of a window and his daughter gazes up at him in awe.
Some believe that Riggan is dead, whlel others say he's become totally detached from reality.
The most widely accepted theory though, is that Riggan has lifted Birdman off his shoulders by creating super-realism.
Thus, he can finally take flight as a better father, a better man and a serious actor.
Since this is one superhero movie that won't spawn a franchise,
we'll never know for sure.
No 3: Enemy
Enemy doesn't spell out whether Adam and Anthony are supposed to be Doppelgängers
or if they're the same person.
Once the movie is over, however, the real question you'll be asking is:
Where the hell did that tremendous tarantula come from?
Alluding to an earlier scene,
the spider is often thought to be symbolic of women
and Adam and/or Anthony is afraid of getting caught in their web.
In other words, it's his subconscious's way of confronting commitment.
Either that, or it's some kind of monstrous spider invasion.
No 2: Pan's Labyrinth
Some would describe Pan's Labyrinth as a fantasy.
Others describe it as a horror picture.
The ending is a bit of both,
as Captain Vidal shoots Ofelia and she awakens in a throne room.
She's reunited with her parents, hailed as a princess and they all live happily ever after.
Boy, do they?
Is the magical world all on Ofelia's head?
Is it representative of the afterlife?
Is it possible that only those who truly believe can see magic?
This is one bedtime story that will definitely have us up all night.
Before we try to crack the enigma that is our top pick,
here are a few honorable mentions.
No 1: K-PAX
From beginning to end, K-PAX keeps the audience and a psychiatrist played by Jeff Bridges
guessing whether Kevin Spacey's prot is an alien or cray cray.
We're given reason to believe prot is indeed an extraterrestrial.
We're also let to believe he's really Robert Porter, a man unable to cope with the loss of his family.
Either way, prot's spirit is destined to ascend from his body on July, 27.
Although we don't get a conclusive diagnosis,
this film's moral is evident:
Make the most of your time on Earth.
