![]() In other words, he killed two people and ruined his life for nothing. Maybe the realization was, that he just killed two people, committed an act of terrorism, and is now a fugitive on the run for life, yet, no one paid any attention to his act of terrorism like he thought, people just went on about their daily lives, talking on their cell phones and listening to their iPods. Then, fast forward to the end, he looks up and sees two people in the mirror's reflection, one texting and the other talking on the phone. Maybe he realizes that there's no way he can fit into a society that requires your identity to be so open to the public and is so heavily dependent on technology.Įarlier in the movie, before they blew up the damn and they're sitting in that guy's trailer talking about the revolution, Joey says "this has got to make people think, right? We're killing off all of the salmon so people can listen to their iPods every second of the day". Then, as he's filling out the application, he looks into the mirror and sees two shoppers that are both using their cell phones. Prior to walking into the camping store to apply for the job, he disassembled his phone and scattered it around the parking lot. Silent Night is sung, with no harmony, for the appearance of the baby Jesus, to bell-like clanging of the gamelan. Although, I do think the director intended to leave us in the dark so that we can speculate.and it worked! haha The ending of this was really f*cking with me last night and I finally think I've come up with some conclusions. and memorable role opposite Paul Newman in THE DROWNING POOL earlier that same year of of 1975. Can anyone shed a little more light on how the very ending of the film figures into the rest of the story and what it could be trying to tell us or even just what exactly happened there? Sherman, Gene Hackman, Susan Clark, Jennifer Warren, James Woods, Melanie Griffith, Edward Binns, Harris Yulin, Kenneth Mars. Or maybe it's just the abruptness and plainness of the ending that confuses me. Did he actually see something in that mirror (did he maybe even imagine Dena)? Are we the audience supposed to see something there too?Įven after the second watch I'm still not sure what to make of the ending or if I maybe even missed something significant. I could get behind Josh's future being left deliberately vague and that might be somewhat fitting to the rest of the film's unagitated yet ominous atmosphere, but at the same time him looking into that mirror made me wonder if anything significant happened there. I don't quite know what to make of this ending. However, when he's about to fill the application form at the clerk's desk, he looks into a ceiling mirror which shows the shop area with a few customers and that's where the film ends. After killing Dena somewhat "accidentally" Josh ends up somewhere in California and casually applies for a job at an outdoor shop, apparently trying to go under the radar. And that's what counts.The ending of Night Moves came a little abrupt to me. It's a good noir, and watch it because of that. Just don't go into Night Moves with high expectations, like the critics will get you to believe with their 4/4 star ratings. It's one of the best things that this film has to offer. Here in Night Moves, his performance is one of the most attractive things. His work nowadays doesn't really even being to compare with his 70's and 80's filmography. Thanks to Susan Clark for her tits and other sexy shots in that video. Original trailer for Arthur Penn’s highly-regarded private-eye drama Night Moves, 1975, starring Gene Hackman and Jennifer Warren, from an original screenplay by Alan Sharp. ![]() In addition there is scene with nude Susan Clark. So Jennifer Warren is not shy and she demonstrating her boobs. Also Jennifer Warren naked in Night Moves. ![]() Gene Hackman continues to impress me with these younger roles. Melanie Griffith in nude scene from Night Moves which was released in 1975. This film is just a slight tick above average, when it should be powerful. Just know that the blame goes to someone, even if that someone doesn't have a face. I don't blame the cast or really even the direction. You understand what I mean? Night Moves is a good film, but it needs to be a great film. Why? The story is intriguing enough and it certainly holds many of the traits found in film noir, but it just doesn't have the "oomph" that it needs. It's impossible not to enjoy watching a mystery as it unfolds.Īrthur Penn's Night Moves is good example of noir, but it isn't a fantastic film. Each noir film has an underlying meaning, and they all deal with dark themes: greed, murder, corruption. There are so many likable characteristics about it.
