One Hour Photo : was a lot of stuff cut out…

was a lot of stuff cut out…

A great performance by Robin Williams (he was better in Insomnia) still, this movie left me cold.

Its really, really anticlimactic.

And the end is so abrupt.
Feels like something is missing.

i told you not to stop the boat. Now lets go. Apocalypse Now

Re: was a lot of stuff cut out…

I think the way it ended was spot-on. I mean, we could have seen what legal issues/jail Sy would have went through and the recovery of the family after the ordeal but do we really need to? Or is it better left unsaid?

The only thing I wonder is...and I'm assuming...is the last shot is a picture of the Yorkins with "Uncle Sy" in it and I'm pretty sure that's all in Sy's head.

Great role by Williams. Watch him in "Boulevard" also if u get a chance..

Re: was a lot of stuff cut out…

The last scene was indeed fantasy.

It was a closing shot portraying what Sy had wanted all along, but never had:
A family who loved him.



I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

That's because this is one of those movies where they show the end at the beginning and then the whole movie is actually a flash back memory. You're expected to recount the opening scene, the police station interview, after you've watched the movie. I hate when they do that.

If I've never seen it before, it's a new release to me!
