Appealing to authority doesn't negate what I said. There was a clear narrative to the story, Kubrick failed to convey it. That is poor film making.


Ooookay. You are the world's greatest expert in film-making. Thank you.


I’ve seen the movie a few times and no part of it is confusing. The movie and the story it tells is coherent and, I dare say, pretty obvious. It’s unfortunate that you were not able to follow it, both because of your obvious dissatisfaction and because now you’re making a lot of bad posts.


This film is definitely a trigger for me, so I'll concede that I'm over-reacting. However, I do not believe the ending was easy to follow, not just because I didn't understand it, but because I've never heard anybody who's only seen the film say they understood it either.


He wasn’t trying to convey the story you wanted him to convey so it’s poor filmmaking?

I’m not sure I understand your position. He’s a bad filmmaker because you preferred the book’s ending?
