MUST See JJ Abrams ‘Mystery Box’ Clip
Why it’s a ‘must see’ is b/c it seems like a lot of people are frustrated with the ending but hopefully if you watch JJ Abrams explain his own ‘mystery box’ and also explain why he believes a scene from Jaws w/ the father and son at the dinner table is one of the best scenes ever in any movie. He explains what makes movies like Jaws so good and it’s NOT b/c of any shark what so ever.
See for yourself please…
As one who liked the ending (once it sunk in) I thank you.
I agree and the beauty is that we can contemplate the ending for years to come. Rather than it being so ‘black’ and ‘white’ it’s more ‘dark’ and ‘light’ or grey/gray?
The point is when you watch that Youtube clip you can see his intentions in writing and what makes a movie/show seperate itself from the pack.
Alright, this clip makes me feel a whole lot better about The End.
It shouldn’t. None of those examples he cited have similarities to Lost. The “mystery box” in those movies were opened and revealed. That was the part where Lost failed.
Highbrow, shut up, I’m trying to forgive and forget. 😉
One episode. That’s all it would have taken. Across the Sea, only with the DI. The show would have been epic.
I fully agree. I was actually expected there to be some sort of big revelation in The End. I don’t consider it a big relevation that FSW was purgatory – I consider FSW irrelevant to the series.
