"The End" ?
Why did movies use to flash "The End" at the end of a film? If I had just seen the heroine agree to marry the hero, kiss him and then the music swelled and the newsreel started up again, I think I'd have been able to figure out that was the end of the film.

I just wish "the end"s were a little more accurate. Lord knows I've seen lots of things say "The End" but there's something after the credits.

Sailorcuteness is one of a rare breed - people leave before the movie has finished all the time these days. You know how sometimes there are additional little scenes after (or during) the credits, and some people miss them because they rushed out of the cinema to beat the line for the bathroom? Yeah. That would never happen if "The End" was still around.
Is it super-geeky that the title of this thread immediately made me think of the very first Red Dwarf episode?

Anyway, first thing I was thinking when reading this thread was a short-story we had to write in second or third grade… I wrote a cool time-travel-adventure with two guys and a professor in the stone-age… anyway, I proudly wrote »THE END« at the end, because it sounded so cool, like I made an epic story (that was only one page long). Then my teacher striked »The End« out, with her horrible red pencil.

It probably became a habit back before it became standard to have credits at the end of a film. A lot of old films had all their credits at the beginning.

But seriously, nobody knows about "The End" thing? I'd have thought there were more films study majors on this board. |
