A movie’s first and last scene, compared side-by-side (NSFW)

We ’ve seen film editorJacob T. Swinneyjuxtapose the first and last shot of a moviebefore . Now he ’s back again , comparing how 70 more movies open and close . manifestly there may be some obscure - ish spoiler in some of the closing shot and a few of the scenes in this cut are NSFW but it ’s really interesting just to see how movies part and wrap up their stories , visually .

Swinney writes :

After legion requests , I last decided to create a sequel to “ First and Final Frames ” . Part II plays the opening and closing shots of 70 photographic film side - by - side . Like the first video , some of the opening move dead reckoning are strikingly similar to the concluding shots , while others are vastly unlike — both serve a aim in communicating various theme . The side - by - side comparison can communicate an entire story , but also let us to develop new theories about a pay film . So once again , what can we memorize from analyze the first and final frames of a plastic film ?
