The ending is the key to the success of a good movie. It is worth the screenwriter to miss the story, its intensity, the attention of the viewer, and the most promising picture will be spoiled.
A special place in the hearts of moviegoers is occupied by stories with an open ending. With its help, the author does not reveal all the cards, does not lay them out in front of the viewer, but gives him the opportunity to think, for himself, to decide what fate awaits the heroes.
For some, the sudden ending inspires, for some it discourages and even annoys, but leaves no one indifferent. Here are the top 10 films with an open ending.
