The final moments of these movies have been needlessly debated for years, but they are actually straightforward conclusions to the story.

Sometimes a movie's legacy can spiral out of control, leading to straightforward and clear endings becoming debatably ambiguous. While alternate readings and fan theories are valid ways to engage with the art form, these movies' endings were not meant to leave audiences wondering what really happened. The films may leave the audiences with complex emotions, but their narratives are neatly resolved.

10 Life Of Pi Many debate the ending of this philosophical epic, but the real issue with Life of Pi - both the Yann Martel novel and Ang Li film adaption - is that rules out any room for ambiguity. After telling a harrowing story of his time on a lifeboat filled with animals, Pi retells the story, explaining that he was actually on the boat with his mother, a sailor, and a cook. The story with the animals was just a coping mechanism for Pi and a less depressing way to tell the story.

6 Inception Much like The Thing, Inception's end has been endlessly debated, while missing the real point of the film's ending. After Cobb is reunited with his children, the audience is left with his spinning top as it wobbles, questioning if Cobb is awake. Countless theories can and have been made about what Nolan meant by this ending, but no matter what the audience chooses to believe, it’s a happy ending for Cobb, and his arc is resolved.

4 The Wrestler Before Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler ends, it tells the audience exactly what will happen after it cuts to black. Randy's heart is going to give out in the wring, and he is going to die doing what he loves. This point is explained repeatedly in the final act of the movie, so it is baffling why anyone would find the ending ambiguous.
