The ending was very sad. The poor guy chose his dreamworld over reality. I like that.

I think the movie works better without hope. The anti-drug message makes more of an impact that way.

It was bittersweet, but I just wasn't expecting that to be the ending and it completely threw me off

Good movie....but to me, when the "leader" of their spelunk told the rest of the ladies that they were in an uncharted, unnamed cave, the true ending of this movie should've been them beating her ass until they found a way out....

number 23

the ending should have been him walking out in front of the bus and getting hit, after killing his wife. THAT would have been icky but true to the rest of the story.

as it is, the ending is so hollywood it's just sad

How about U571..that whole movie is a joke, the Brits who ACTUALLY did that should have turned up and kicked the thieving Yanks off the boat

In the immortal words of Kevin Kline in "A Fish Called Wanda"...

"...if it wasn't for US, you'd (meaning the Brits) all be speaking German now!! Deutchland Deutchland uber alles!!"

You muthafucas always turn up late to the party but bring lots of booze so we forgive you.

..one of those "fashionable" things we picked up from the French....

Plus i have to say to you that Adolf had his chance in '40 to invade and fucked up. He should have learned from Napoleaon and come at us instead of Russia. He was broken on the Eastern front thanks to the millions that died and people like my Grandfather running the Murmansk convoys. The issue from then on was never the invasion of Great Britain it was the retaking of Europe. We were already kicking his arse in Africa and then you boys arrived and we started the Italy front.

reneGade20 said:

What you really should have learned from the French is that Indo-China is not a place for mechanised war

Hitler was a victim of his ego and delusions of grandeur...I've always felt and said that he bit off way more than he could chew by trying for Russia during the European campaign...our arrival just sealed his fate...because if the Japanese hadn't kicked us in our asses and woke up "the sleeping giant", WWII would've lasted a lot longer than it did....

and for the record I was only quoting a movie line...I wasn't trying to suggest that the US was the sole reason, and if it came off that way I apologize...

I know you better than that my brother...we are all good, banter between brothers is fun. I knew what you meant.

For the record..you are right..He had an issue with Stalin on a personal level. That is why he went for the Bear. And why he paid such a high price in Berlin.

mdiver said:

Banter between bros with brews is even better!!

as for Hitler and Stalin, I guess as huge as the EurAsian continent is, it wasn't big enough for the both of them or their egos...thank goodness for that!

reneGade20 said:

Dude, one day for sure, we have to have this convo with beer. It is on OUR list. For sure.....we should be home for good inside 10 months .....you sure as hell better not be on a rotation.

I'm trying to get the wheels in motion to finish out my career over there at one of the Air Force bases (Croughton or Mildenhall), since once I'm done as an EO advisor, I'll still have about 2.5 years to go before retirement....and I have to go back into my regular field (communications)...

...but if that falls through, my wife keeps talking about going over there on vacation, so ya neva know!!

reneGade20 said:

Awesome!!!!

reneGade20 said:

No fucking way.....when could you be here?

mdiver said:

At this point, getting stationed there would literally take an act of all of the various deities...thats why I'm getting the wheels spinning now...but we're talking two or so years from now...

...vacation, on the other hand, is relative to finances and time...

reneGade20 said:

Book the flights bro, our house is your house.....all ya need it the wings.....

I just watched this...



and though I enjoyed it, I didn't really dig the whole 'dark hole under the passenger seat' thing
That was a bit odd...and Zia going through it in the end was weird and a bit ambiguous to me

Girl 6 (and just about all Spike Lee's movies) they go on like 45 minutes way to long.

mdiver said:

gracias!! for you and Val.....

DO IT

Anxiety said:

I couldn't sleep all night after the first time I saw Requiem. The ending is unsatisfying, but it was supposed to be. A shininh moment toward the end would have made for a lesser movie IMO.

Anxiety said:

I think just change title to Not Happening and it wouldn't give so much false hope.

sextonseven said:

I was really proud of the way they did this whole movie. It made me stand up and say "HA!" at the end. I was satisfied.

kpowers said:

Oh yes, in Mo Better Blues, cut out that whole extended ending with Denzel and Spike's sister and go straight to the closing scene.

Did you point to everyone else in the room and say, "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU TAKE DRUGS"? I did.
