    Jackson didn’t kill himself just because of the ‘random’ guy, he was always planning on doing it. He wrote I’ll Never Love Again as a sort of suicide note. He was already at a stage of contemplating it for quite some time. His entire character arc was showing how mental illness and addiction can take over someone’s life, it had nothing to do with what Ali’s manager said, but the reason his words were important is because you should always consider what other people are going through before you say things to them.

      I'm shocked they didn't include the plot twist from Jurassic World. I literally groaned when it was revealed the indominus rex was part raptor. All I could think was "that's the oh-so-unspeakable bit of DNA that the scientists didn't want to reveal?"
      Honestly, it didn't really make sense for the scientists to insist on keeping this information classified. I literally thought that the twist was that human DNA was used bc it would explain many things about the indo rex (e.g. heightened intelligence, hunting for sport) as well as why there would be any refusal to reveal the last bit of DNA used to create the dinosaur. From what I hear, I wasn't the only one who thought this bc that's now a fan theory.

    Sometimes I really wonder if the writers who make these lists actually watch the movies or just do a quick google search and say “eh sounds about right.”
    To clarify: A Star Is Born doesn’t have a plot twist. It’s foreshadowed early on he was going to kill himself. Just because he was told to kill himself doesn’t mean that all the previous pain and mental illness no longer had an influence on his choices. He killed himself because of years of depression, substance abuse, and mental illness. It was a waste of an entry even including it in this video.

      Right? It's supposed to be a campy B movie. I think the problem most people have with his films is that The Sixth Sense hit it out of the park, so that was the expectation each time, but almost each movie was a different genre, and everyone was too focused on what the "twist" was going to be that they lost what the focus was. Unbreakable is probably his most appreciated film because the "twist" is so low-key that it doesn't detract from the story; it isn't the talking point of the movie, so it doesn't overshadow it. I like The Happening because I don't get hung up on the plants being the cause, and I can enjoy how campy the whole thing is; the crazy old lady at the end is one of the best parts of the movie because the atmosphere is set up so well. I dunno, maybe I just tend to enjoy stuff more and not over-analyze it to death.

    I don't agree with the idea of revealing that it took place on 9/11 at the start would have made the Remember Me twist better. What the film was trying to do was show how tragedies happen suddenly, without any warning. To warn the audience would have undermined that. You can debate whether the film itself is interesting enough to justify this twist, but it accomplished exactly what it intended to.

I mean Maisie released the dinos into the world instead of letting them die of poisoning because she was a clone which sets up the next movie/movies. So she basically did side with them over other humans since they are going to kill at least some humans while they are running free.
    I was actually hoping the twist was that some of her cloned DNA was the same as the Indoraptor and that's why it was obsessed with chasing her.

He showed signs of recovery and being in a better place mentally and emotionally. Then the manager, who had little to do with helping her career and only helped her become someone she despised, says he's holding her back. And suddenly THAT breaks him and makes him suicide? After coming to terms with his past, after getting over addiction and understanding his behavior was self-destructive, he does the most destructive thing? That's a complete 180 from someone who was as headstrong as he was earlier in the movie. Like, I get that some people are like that, but there was no evidence his character was going to suicide until the very end. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't understand the mindset well enough so I can't relate, but going from a narrative(this is a film, remember) point of view, it didn't make any sense.

They also lived in that place before he went to rehab. That was his house already. Also, you don’t get over an addiction even if you stop using it’s something you fight forever. I get it’s a movie but Bradley Cooper suffered with addiction and some mental health issues too so I’m sure they wouldn’t be so careless and write the character that way.

It would have made just as much sense, if not more, if he decided to do a disappearing act and left suddenly. Leave it open ended so it seems he might have gone off to end it all, but the fact he did it in their home and after taking enough pills to od, it just doesn't make sense to me.
