Has there ever been a plot twist that genuinely shocked you?
Has there ever been a plot twist that genuinely shocked you?
Almost all of them because I'm a brainlet.
Matchstick Men
I remember really liking this movie, and I should probably give it a second watch because I saw it in the theater, but wasn't this whole plan pointlessly convoluted?
Also the part in which she has a breakdown and goes hiding in the house doesn't make any sense once you know it was all fake.
The Prestige had a good twist. Tons of foreshadowing and I didn't even register it until the end.
The Crimes of Grendlewald had two twists that were both the dumbest things I have ever seen in a narrative. Made zero sense.
Life of Pi, when it turned out that the whole story was bullshit that he made up
Not really a good twist, just kinda pissed me off
if it makes you feel better the book makes it a lot more unclear whether it was clear or not
the movie's beginning and ending were dumbed down for audiences
That was a really great movie.
Part of it was shot in the city I used to live during my PhD.
Of course it is never discussed on Yea Forums because of brainlets
>a lot more unclear whether it was clear or not
I guess it was just meant to reinforce her credibility: the first step of a healing process usually comes right after you reach the lowest point
The Wicker Man (original) yeah it's pretty obvious now but I saw it at a young age.
But Life of Pi conclusion wasn't bullshit he made up but the coping mechanism he produced to deal with real tragedy.
For me, its Usual Suspects.
I've posted about it a couple of times. It's one of my all time favorites. Shame it's not better known.
So it was a product of his imagination for coping with what happened, but wasn't somehow bullshit? I don't quite follow, sorry
>Usual Suspects
kek, I figured it out in 5 minutes and shut it off, how daft are you?
Oldboy's twist really got me when I watched for the first time at 19yo.
The twist with that little russian orphan girl was also pretty good.
Can't recall any other twist that got me.
The Phantom Menace, when Qui-Gon died at the end. Not because it was a stunning plot twist in the traditional sense of the word, but because it was then that you realized that the movie was coming to a close, and it still felt that it hadn't really got started yet. Nothing had been explained or had come together.
Sharp Objects
[spoilers]I knew there was something off about Amma, but the Adora Munchmommy storyline totally sidetracked me.[spoilers/]
I remember watching the film, knowing there was some big twist in it, and felt like I figured out what the twist was in the first few minutes and turned it off as well, thinking it was way too obvious or something. I don't remember what I thought that the twist was but now I'm thinking that maybe the thing I thought would be the twist was actually a red-herring and that the actual twist would be better.
Fuck, I hate it when I know beforehand that a film has some big twist. Ruins it for me
It was real for him, instead of him bullshitting. There is a difference.
DELETE
First time i watched fight club my mind was blown.
newfags cant into spoilers
You were also fourteen. Not that hard on an underdeveloped brain.
>two twists
Dumbledore and? Queeny becoming evil?
More like 13, but you were close. I still consider it a solid movie tho.
Dorian Gray in bw when i was young when i realized the painting aged but he did not.
Zathura being a black hole
you just dont understand Poetry.
>it was real in my mind
wow just like my bibis holocaust stories
The end of Saw was pretty surprising and well implemented. Same with 2, but after there it got too convoluted to be believable.
What film, I want to watch it now
Yes, it was in this.
The audience gasped.
OP pic was too obvious, the girl was too good for that old cunt.
i watched The Matrix wth absolutely zero prior knowledge about the story, characters, actors, effects, origin or reputation. All I knew was that it was an SF film, that involved a helicopter. that was it. when keaneo took the red pill.......... wow
*does it for the lulz*
Rear Window. I’ve seen it five or six times and every time I still half believe that it’s all in his head.
>floor is glorious Iberian marble polished to a high shine
>walls are lazy brick with shitty mortar and a slapdash coat of latex paint
Jesus Fucking Christ.
>the matrix with no spoilers
10/10 shit.
My parents decided to introduce me to R rated movies with The Matrix and Terminator 2.
This one. Probably the worst film Ive seen in a while.
Martyrs' twist in the middle of the movie, not really shocking, but unexpected.
Mulholland Drive
it's a pretty dry legal drama up until the ending hits.
pic related
In retrospect, I can’t believe I didn’t see it coming.
>all that talk titanic being unsinkable
>”sure we don’t have enough lifeboats, but don’t worry nothing bad could ever happen lol”
>the film starts with paxton’s character uncovering the ruins of a mysteriously sunken ship
this movie is fucking terrible fuck women
Baste
lmao
Kill yourself
I mean, i knew he was fucked up, but i didn't expect that much
Primal Fear.
Bioshock
From Dusk Till Dawn
Oldboy
Bioshock
Fight Club
All these I came into fresh without spoilers. Loved it all
Vader, becaus I was 4 or 5.
Never apologise, user.
Are you talking about the bit when Evan was actually jumping out of the tree to try and kill himself
What a nice movie, I enjoyed watching it
if you didnt see that coming a mile away you are either retarded or havent seen a con man movie before
I wonder what it must be like to be this much of a brainlet
yall have small brains. the story is about religion. I haven't seen the movie, but I read the book, and the whole point of the story can be summed up with, "Why are people obsessed with reality?" people try to explain religion logically, but really it doesn't need to be. if you find comfort, or joy, from these stories, why do people try point out the fantastic elements of them as somehow being a negative aspect of religion.
basically, his whole story is an allegory for religion. some people, like the interviewers, are only concerned with the facts, and don't see the message or beauty of the story, nor do they care. this is pointed out by the fact, that one of the first things they say to him after he finished his story is that,"bananas don't float".
so in the end, it's more of a, "Choose which one you want to believe, and if one enhances your life in a meaningful way, go with it, regardless of how real it is"

TOTAL RECALL, idk if im dumb, but that actually completly surprised me
The Place Beyond the Pines definitely shocked me when I first saw it but I wasn't crazy about it as a whole.
Big Smoke turning out to be SLJ's bitch.
the Prestige could be taught in film school as an example of a SHIT twist.
I get why you thought it was clever, but it really wasn't and there's much more interesting lessons to be learnt about why it wasn't.
>if you find comfort, or joy, from these stories, why do people try point out the fantastic elements of them as somehow being a negative aspect of religion.
well there are all those times when people got killed over them for one thing...
explain
Sixth Sense
basado
no, you brainwashed slug. in those cases the violence is based on the ideology, not the religion, or the religion is used as an excuse for the furthering of a political agenda.
Nice. You get to enjoy life to the fullest.
>
>there's much more interesting lessons to be learnt about why it wasn't.
Name one, faggot.
I saw this as a kid and it got me really good.
The Usual Suspects got me totally, because it was a great film
I like those late 80s early 90s thrillers, also “Shattered” from 1991
Lmao this is me. It's like, why do I have to work my ass off to ruin the show for myself? I just pretend it's real life.
The twist in Glass, because of how shit it is.
>magician keeping giant tanks full of dead bodies of himself
>good twist
6th Since
Right cause it's soooo common for con men movies to have secret fake kids come in and trick them. Rockwell leaving, sure. But you're a lying sack of shit if you're trying to say you saw the daughter twist also.
>Nothing had been explained or had come together
needing star wars explained to you lmao
is /nu-tv/ plagued with brainlets?
As opposed to trying to get rid of his own corpse every night, yeah that seems much smarter and safer. At least if some law enforcement sees all the clones you can say well shit i had no idea they all look like me i have no idea whats going on blah blah.
Sleepaway Camp had an ending that genuinely surprised me.
Islam is not a religion. Read some of the hadith to understand shariah. It's a feudal system that has long overstayed its welcome on planet earth.
The twist was the twins you fucktard. That and he was committing suicide not creating copies.
Because it's so dumb
Gone Girl, and not in a good way
literally laughing out loud
Turns out he was wrongfully accused
I remember being genuinely horrified when it turned out Christopher Lee's Dracula was in the basement of the house the main characters were defending all along.
Dragged across concrete.
I was pretty shocked that Mel had a gun on a guy's throat but still got shot. It was disguised with a bunch of sloppy jump cuts but yeah, most shocking twist I seen for a while.
Absolute dogshit film that makes less sense the more you think on it.
fuck you
No. Yes.
Buzzem
Buzzem Frog
Black mirror-white Christmas
>three gunshots in a van
>woman spends ten minutes crawling over toward them
Were they trying to trick Mel and Vince into thinking they had shot each other? I can keep going on that movie all night lmao.
I'll see your White Christmas and raise you a Shut Up And Dance. White Bear had a good ending as well.
reddit as fuck but the good place was a good one
but maybe im a brainlet
>muh being smart makes you depressed
Except only genuine brainlets are nihilists. Read some actual philosophy and grow up pseud
NO one saw this coming. don't fucking lie
The ending with the kid was fucked up, and almost brings me to tears. It's even worse for me as I have a kid now and empathise hard during the last ten minutes
What happens?
I guess not a twist in the literal sense, but her character is chaotic as fuck for the first 45 minutes. Bonus, you get to see her juicy tits.
What the fuck, they made a show out of the book? How the fuck did that pass me by?
I saw ‘The Usual Suspects’ in a local movie theater in the day it opened, at the second or third showing, after getting out of school for the day.
I had no clue what the movie was about, and only decided to go see it due to the cast, and the poster.
It was KINO and well worth the $7 or whatever it cost.
If ypu don’t like TUS then you read too much about the movie before hand, or have bad taste.
The problem with the twists in Prestige is that they seem surprising when you see it the first time, but when you think about it none of it made sense. For example, why would the MC be obsessed with finding out how the villain does the trick? He already knows about the laboratory and there's no reason for him to assume the villain hadn't visited it too. There's other problems like that too, where the characters know things the audience doesn't, which make their actions completely illogical when you think about the plot in hindsight.
Because if you are going to say the earth is flat you can keep it deep inside your arse.
I figured out this movie within the first 30 minutes, but I’m from rural Pennsylvania so shit like Quaker colonies isolating themselves from modern society and fear mongering about what’s on the outside isn’t uncommon.
>The twist with that little russian orphan girl was also pretty good.
?
I was surprised that the Goose was only in it for a quarter of the film. Pretty good movie regardless.
The ending of SAW 1. Because I'm a brainlet.
KINO, but I believe it was based on, or the story stolen from, an earlier movie.
I forget which one though.
The MC gets his girlfriend pregnant, she breaks up with him after saying she's having an abortion. He sees her 8 months later heavily pregnant and she gets a futuristic restraining order put in place to stop him seeing her or the kid. He remembers she goes to her dad's cottage in Scotland during the winter and visits every year, where he knows she has the kid but they can't interact. The ex dies in an accident, lifting the restraining order, meaning he can see the kid (now 3 and a half) who has been living in the remote cottage with the grandfather. The kid is of a different racial descent, meaning the ex cheated on him. He confronts the grandfather and accidentally kills him, then flees the cottage.
The kid finds her grandfather dead, doesn't know how to contact help, and tries to make the journey to the nearest town after 2 days, but freezes to death in a blizzard. Put yourself in the kids shoes, 3.5 years old, finding your grandfather dead, no one around, constant blizzard outside...genuinely the most upsetting thing I can imagine, especially as a father.
>depressed = nihilists
>nihilists don’t enjoy life
>”read a book”
You are like a parody of an early aughts internet brainlet.
I think that user was implying that when you're stupid and easy to fool, all these movie twists are a wonderful surprise. I'm similarly jealous of people that enjoy bottom-of-the-barrel movies in general. Imagine how much comedy there is out there to delight you when you're into the Medea movies or Larry the Cable Guy.
Elevator scene from Infernal Affairs.
The bank scene from Dragged Across Concrete
no
Also why couldn't they let the one in love with Scarjo only meet Scarjo and the other one only meet his wife?
nice projection brainlet
It’s the Amish that isolate themselves from Modern Society, not the Quakers.
The Quakers still have active meeting houses all over the place, including several blocks from Independance Hall, which is in the heart of Center City Philadelphia.
The Amish also venture into the city, since a bunch of them work in the Reading Terminal Market in Center City Philly, and go elsewhere in the City to shop.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the rural Pennsylvanians from the former Coal towns are more shut off from modern society than the Amish.
There are even Amish websites.
The PC is actually Revan in KOTOR 1.
Frailty. Won't spoil it, it stars Matthew Mcconaughey and directed by Bill Paxton it's fucking great.
Because it's stupid. They would see and hear airplanes. The line about "restricted airspace" was a nice try. I can see a billionaire bribing politicians to do that. But it would only last for ten years. Not twenty, definitely not thirty. That's multiple generations of politicians that wouldn't give a fuck. You would need a billionaire on the outside working and bribing to keep the secret.
I wasn't expecting the first twist in The Handmaiden but after that happened I did expect it to twist back around
The movie is full of holes but I actually like it and its fun seeing Adrien Brody play a retard
Good post.
lol Mile 22
All of Chinatowns twists are superbly surprisingly on first viewing
