ONTD Original: Ambiguous Endings
The Sopranos
Now I never watched the show (I tried!) but the news about the series finale ending was inescapable. The abrupt cut to black had people thinking something happened to the station lol. The question of what happened to Tony was on everyone's mind. In 2021 the creator would finally provide an answer but before that Tonys fate was a hot topic of discussion.
The Americans
the reason for this post tbh. I just finished rewatching the series and this is one of the best questions about the finale. Was Renee KGB? Phillip certainly thought so and tried to find out. Before leaving his best friend, Stan, Phillip warned him that she might be, he really wasn't sure.
Hannibal
Will and Hannibal did literally fall off a cliff BUT no bodies=not dead right? Plus this post credit scene with Bedelia at a table set for 3 with her leg as the entrée certainly implies both Will and Hannibal lived. But only a fourth season can answer how we got there.
Inception
Throughout the film Cobb uses a top to determine if he's in a dream or reality (it indefinitely spins in the dream). In the last scene Cobb spins it but then leaves the room to join his kids. The film ends with it still spinning but with an ever so slight wobble. So dream or reality?
thoughts? other favorite shows or movies with ambiguous endings?
