  • The final scene of Saltburn, in which Oliver dances around the titular estate to "Murder on the Dancefloor," has a deeper meaning than it may seem.
    After successfully inheriting the Saltburn estate from Felix's mother, Elspeth, upon her passing, *Oliver giddily dances around the Saltburn mansion to Sophie Ellis-Bextor's 2001 pop hit, "Murder on the Dancefloor" in the one-shot* *final scene* of *Saltburn*. The scene became a viral sensation on TikTok, causing the 23-year-old song to start charting again after *Saltburn*'s release. However, the meaning behind both the song choice and Oliver's dance attire goes way beyond its pop culture relevance.

    SPOILER! I can’t agree he had intended to acquire their fortune from the very beginning, no… to infiltrate yes, but it’s far more likely and logical to assume that his plans evolved as he went along ! The dance is also symbolic of that, as he improvised and reacted to the situations that presented themselves at each step!

      I agree! I think he genuinely wanted his friend's love and amity. Sure, he was willing to use lies and trickery to carve himself a place in that cool guy's life, but he did not plan to kill him or anyone else at first. He loved that guy to the point that he literally drank his bath water! It's only after his lies about his family situation were exposed that he decided to kill him.

      Oliver's thing for Felix wasn't real love. It was more like how people obsess over celebs - all about the image and the vibes, not the real person behind it all. Seeing Pamela get the boot by Elspeth after hanging around too long, and Farleigh always having to grovel for more favors, Oliver got the message loud and clear. Farleigh's blunt warning that Oliver couldn't just waltz back in because he wasn't family really hit home.

      I completely agree. His speech is unreliable, he’s looking back and saying he planned it all but he leaves out the bits that don’t fit that narrative. He was bobbing and weaving the whole time. He’s resourceful but not the mastermind he claims to be.

    I think the final scene is his own mind trying to frame everything he's done as some grand plan or that he's some mastermind when the reality is he couldn't have either of the siblings so he moved onto the saltburn estate as his next obsession discarding pretty much the whole family

    Saltburn has many references. Another Country comes to mind, with a Rupert Everett look alike, what Downtown Abbey might have ended up as in an 80s setting and the Flashdance inspired dance scene with an amazing dance track.

    What a vapid and derivative story, this ending made me yawn and this 'video' doesn't change my mind. Trying to pretend it has something meaningful to say, similarly like The Menu. Go watch 'Parasite' for or The Talented Mr Ripley to see what nuanced and thought provoking films can look like.
