I'm not saying that everything has to have a happy ending, but Funny Games cheated (I think I get the point he was trying to make with that, but still..), and Cache had NO ending. I rewatched the end credits, and I'm still not sure what it's supposed to mean.
The idea of the film is great, but I agree, I don't see how it would fit with Scorcese's style.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I feel exactly the same way about Funny Games. I didn't see the point at the end. Though it was well made, it was just a nasty movie to sit through, and the ending felt like a slap in the face. Cache, on the other hand, was a confusing mystery, but I never felt cheated. I don't quite understand the ending either, but it didn't ruin the experience for me. In fact it made me want to watch the movie again, to see if there were more clues as to what it all meant.
