I thought of this topic after watching 2001: A Space Odyssey

After being left confused (and sadly, not dazed) I did some research online to see if I could find an explanation on its ending. The most common answer I found was "its open to interpretation" or "whatever YOU think it meant"

This did not satisfy me at all...so my interpretation is "dissatisfaction"...even though I absolutely loved the movie, even during long drawn out landscape scenes that, I bet, were much appreciated during the 1960's

What are some other movies that have endings that are open to interpretation? And how did that ending make you feel?

So the concensus so far is: "sometimes".
