Why I feel that this movie-making thing, is more like learning psychology.

Whiplash's ending takes control of people's social anxiety and fear of an audience in an amazing way. There was no physical danger but I was more entranced and on the edge of my seat than I had been in a movie in a long time.

Just imagine
if this video was made before Game of Thrones Season 8

The greatest ending of all time for me is in Unbreakable. A lonely, broken man's lifelong quest for purpose and meaning is finally acheived, but it comes at the cost of his humanity. So underrated.

This is by far one of your most effective videos because you nailed everything about those great endings and really simplified the process to get there. You've really grown and I'm definitely going to take up your writing course.

What about endings were the protagonist doesn't "win" to make a point about philosophical stakes? Like Romeo and Juliet? There are lots of other examples but that's the first that came to mind. I'd love to see a video on not happy endings and how they can still be effective and meaningful.

Thanks sir, you bring us our favourite movie. Shawshank is the best example of a movie with a great story 😭

huh. what a timing to recommend me this.

I think it's important to connect the external stakes to the internal stakes.  In your example it might be worded as: hope is the freedom of the mind, as freedom is the hope of the body.

I think Reservoir Dogs ending is almost as good as it gets, the final moment when Mr White kills Mr........ its so satisfying for me because he’s been helping him thru the entire film and when he finds out he’s been helping the cop the whole time, it goes completely against he’s core value (all cops must die) it might seem fkd up to say this but I love it.

gahh how is all this useful information free!? I would be so lost without this channel.

Dude, thank you. I’m stuck on making my ending absolutely memorable and epic and this is a huge help.

Oh yeah, it's all coming together

This reminds me
of the ending in the film "The Mist"

Without steaks, the story is meaningless.

Thank you kindly for the education of writing and telling a meaningful story that really makes a difference between ones that are classics and ones that are forgotten or never materialize into anything. The insights add onto the gifts of being authors and screen writers.

Dude... you look very young, but you’re one of the best teachers I’ve encountered. You really are great at this. .

Django and Shawshank, two of my favourite films and favourite endings of all time. Awesome analysis of both, one of the best channels on writing I’ve seen on youtube 👏👏
