Gladiator, it seemed like in the ending rome may have had hope in survival but Commodus damage became the first stepping stone that led to the fall of the roman empire.
If we're counting stones for that particular thread of the timeline, there were countless prior to Commodus' pile.
True, there was many but commodus I think was the stepping stone to the fall as the shithead essentially almost bankrupted rome and caused civil wars since he was so shitty he did not have a kid.
The Graduate.
Wasn't that the point of the ending?
Youd be surprised by the number of people i have talked to that dont pick up on that.
Elysium.
Ok, so the resource allocation of the moon/earth society is completely broken and the moon-dwelling oligarchs sucked. Agreed.
But the end of the movie makes the computer system unable to differentiate between the handful of moon lords vs the unwashed masses on the earth's surface. There are not enough resources to go around in Elysium. All that medicine and food from the moon bastards is gonna run out in about ten minutes and then the last bits of society will finish collapsing. Any hope of ever rebuilding a functioning society ends about a week after the end of that movie.
I got a bittersweet happy ending last weekend at 좋은 시간 Massage Parlor. It was fun in the moment, but when I was paying a Polaroid of my wife and kid that I keep in my wallet fell out.
You're supposed to destroy the polaroid.

Brazil - wow, that is a really happy ending... oh, some runtime still to go.
Total Recall - was it all a dream?
