Endings that live rent free in my head (Trying to pick some that have left me haunted or elated)

ending shot of Dogville (2003) where an outline of a dog on the floor becomes an actual barking dog.

an ending shot of Mulholland Drive (2001) where the woman with a blue hair says "silencio."

a shot of a short film Jiří Trnka's The Hand (1965) where Harlequin gets a state funeral by the authoritarian Hand.

an ending shot of La Belle et la Bête (1946) where Belle and the Prince (who was the Beast) fly up to the sky.

Here is your reminder that Lex Lang provided a narration for pro-Putin/anti-Euromaidan propaganda piece that was released 2 years after the Russian annexation of Crimea. - Jay

The information part of the Wikipedia page on Ukraine on Fire, a pro-Putin propaganda piece directed by Igor Lopatonok, which portrays a Kremlin-friendly version of the events that led to the flight of Yanukovych in February 2014 as a coup d'état orchestrated by the United States with the help of far-right Ukrainian factions.

The film poster has American filmmaker Oliver Stone, who is also the executive producer, in the center alongside Russian political figures (including Russian president Vladimir Putin) on both sides.

It is written by Vanessa Dean, produced by Igor Lopatonok, and starring Oliver Stone, Vladimir Putin, Victor Yanukovich (disgraced former president of Ukraine), Vitaly Zakharchenko, and Robert Parry.

The production company behind this piece is Another Way Productions, who also distributed it with Cinema Libre Studio.

Lex Lang has also provided a voice-over narration of this piece, which I circled in red.

Hey Cassie Carter, this man with locked-in syndrome managed to write a memoir with eye blinks. - Jay

Jean-Dominique Bauby and his assistant. His body was paralyzed except his left eyelid, and he relied his assistant to write down his thought through choosing a letter with eye blinks. With that, he authored a memoir titled The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Le Scaphandre et le Papillon).
