10 Movie Endings You Can Only Work Out For Yourself
2. The Lobster
Yorgos Lanthimos's deliriously twisted black comedy The Lobster takes place in a bizarre dystopia where single people are given just 45 days to find a partner or be transformed into an animal of their choosing.
Singletons are encouraged to seek out potential partners with characteristics similar to themselves, and so protagonist David (a brilliant Colin Farrell) eventually settles on a woman (Rachel Weisz) who, like him, is short-sighted.
However, the woman ends up blinded by the leader of the Loners (Léa Seydoux) - single people who live in the forest - and so at film's end, David is forced to decide whether to blind himself in order to remain "compatible" with her.
At a restaurant, David goes to the bathroom and prepares to stab himself in the eyes with a steak knife, yet the movie ends before he does so.
It's absolutely believable that David blinds himself in order to be with the woman, but at the same time it's completely plausible he bails on her and flees.
Hell, perhaps David simply pretends to have blinded himself. Lanthimos sets all three of these endings up without giving preference to any of them.
