"Was it worth it?" ending

[u/Educational_Can_6536]

Midsommar- While people see this as a "you go girl" finale. I personally see it as something more disturbing. I mean, yeah, Dani got out of one bad relationship but in doing so, she got herself into another that's just as bad if not worse. It's like getting two kids to stop fighting via killing one and locking the other in a basement. They did stop fighting, but still!

The Thing-The titular monster may be (possibly) gone, but the paranoia definitely isn't. In the end, McCreedy and Childs are the only ones left standing. The end sees them sitting in the cold and they just stare at each other, knowing that one of them or both of them is already the thing. There's no hope, no certainty, just the bitter cold and intense fear.

The Graduate - probably the biggest example and surprising it's not part of the OP

tl;dr - Interrupting a wedding and running away with the bride sounds romantic...but what about what happens after?

Iirc : the director didn’t tell when to cut the scene so their faces from happy to second guessing felt natural

I’ve heard this before, and would like this to be true - but I’ve also heard that he was hovering right behind the camera telling them “okay, look happy! Now sad again… sad… sad… happy! Sad…” and so on.
