Uh…what DID happen in the Others? I sort of slept through it. ---

**irishgirl** , the ending to _The Others_ was: The family and the servants are the ghosts and the ‘ghosts’ are actually a real family they’ve been ‘haunting’. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by NDP \* > \*\*Well, Zoe in _The Usual Suspects_:The only other survivor of the assault on the ship (the burnt Hungarian guy who kept screaming “Keyser Soze”) was able to describe Keyser’s appearance to a police sketch artist. When the drawing of Keyser Soze was faxed to the station house where Verbal was being interrogated, it was revealed that the face on the drawing was that of Verbal. \*\* Well, yeah, but I’ve always had this thang in the back of my mind that Verbal’s butler/chauffeur was Keyser Soze, and Verbal was just carrying out orders. I’m probably the only one, though. ---

**A Beautiful Mind** (though I wouldn’t say that it was absolutely shocking) and **Abre los Ojos (Vanilla Sky)** ---

I can’t believe nobody’s mentioned **To Live And Die In L.A.** yet: During the final raid, the hero cop (as far as there are ANY heroes in this movie) takes a shotgun blast to the face and dies instantly. No miraculous recovery, no emotional final words. Just…BLAMMM!!! ---

The end of _American History X_. I was expecting Norton’s character to bite the dust at some point, fighting against his former fellow skinheads. Having his little brother killed, by a black boy - which white supremacists would use to support their twisted cause - was a superb irony. Oh, yeah, the end of _The Usual Suspects_ was downright amazing, indeed. ---

Well I was pretty shocked by city of angels… But I don’t know how to make spoiler boxes ☹ And Reindeer games had me a number of times through the film! The Usual Suspects was great though… you get all the way to the end and have to watch it again just because now you know who Kaiser Soze IS! ---

I’ll chime in on _The Usual Suspects_, also, _Primal Fear_ with Richard Gere when You find out that Edward Norton’s character Aaron is all just a ruse, and he’s really some psychopath. _Memento_ was good too. I also liked _The Thirteenth Floor_ . [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/absolutely-shocking-movie-endings-uh-yeah-spoilers/178432.md?page=1)
