Have you ever watched a movie that brought an important point or subject was never tied up at the end of the film or never addressed in any sequels. It was just left it open and dangling? A point, that if you were the scriptwriter, you would have just written one more scene or speech that would have tied up that subject in the film? Which one of the following films do you think needed that one more speech or scene to addressed the issue that someone thought needed addressing? Some suggestions may include what the contributor suggests as a scene resolving the issue. To suggest a film or talk about the subject, click here. Be sure to name the film and the issue that needed tying up. If you are going to create a scene or speech to tie up the issue and it includes stage dirrections, please use brackets or parentheses, and the stage directions in italics like a proper script.

Yes, in my offering, I did think that the wizarding society of Harry Potter doesn’t really take care of it’s orphans and street kids to well. They leave them to muggles. Harry and Neville were the lucky ones to have relatives that the child could be placed with. And yes, I did see a lot of parallels to Charles Dicken’s “Oliver Twist” in the story. And yes I did put the joke at the end as if to say she had got the general gist of the matter but not all of the particular points strait because the muggle was talking a muggle book she had probably didn’t know about or care less about.

Oh boy!

I had this with WIDOWS recently:

An 'underdog/heist' story could have been good. A political thriller would have been good too. Or Viola Davis alone against the gangsters. But the film went in too many directions at the same time. The political set-up turns out to be a completely waste of time because none of the major players of the first act plays a tangible role at the end, the realistic progresses made by the three women are boosted by the addition of Cynthia Erivo who's capable of anything for plot conveniences, and even the happy end (anyone could have seen coming) doesn't have that emotional electricity in it. What happened is that the film focused on the three women in a way that made their arcs rather predictable."Widows" depends on an empathy we're ready to give but it throws so many plot lines and ramifications that it ends with disappointing loose ends.
