The Village -Someone tell me the ending

[Rose]

I finally tried to watch this movie today after telling myself for two years that I was going to watch. I changed the channel and realized I will never watch it.

Can someone please tell me the surprise ending that I have avoided for so long so I can get on with my life? Thanks!!

they are actually in modern day time. the "monsters" are the elders or parents or whatever who dress up to put fear in the villagers to stay within the village limits. they are actually in a state park.

when they send the blind girl for medicine, she encounters a park ranger in his jeep who has no idea who she is or whats going on and steal meds from the station for her.

she doesnt know who he is or that its modern day time because she cant see.

thats about the jyst of it.

Now I don't need to watch the rest of it either. I'm a chicken!

I hated that movie. After all the hype, an hearing people talk about it, I was expecting much more.

I wasn't all that scared of the movie until I realized we go hiking in those same exact woods all the time.

I liked the movie only because I did not expect the ending at all but I would never watch it again.

I don't think it's supposed to be a state park. The leader's name is Edward Walker, his daughter, the blind girl, is Ivy Walker, and the park ranger's vehicle door says "Walker Wildlife Preserve" on it. I think the land belonged to Walker's father (there's the part about how his father's business partner killed him) and he came up with the plan to take up residence on his family's land, with the nature preserve thing as a front so they'd be left alone. It also makes sense that is was private land and his family was rich because there's the part about how politicians pulled strings to keep the airplanes from flying over the preserve--only someone with powerful conenctions could get that done.

The other elders were people he met at a counseling center. They'd all had relatives who were victoms of violent crime, and that's why they left modern socirty in favor of their village, and why they want to keep their kids in fear of leaving the village. Walker was an American history professor, which is supposed to explain how he was able to make the village authentic.

:) What funny timing for this, as I just finally watched it this weekend via Netflix. I wanted to see it when it originally came out, but then DH found out about the ending somehow. I still wanted to see it, but then we went out to eat and overheard people at the table next to us discussing the ending. I decided to wait and see it despite the fact that so many people thought the ending was ridiculous and the movie bad.

I watched it yesterday and really enjoyed it. Also, I don't think the ending came off as far-fetched as I imagined it, and I really liked it. Glad I finally saw it, and I would watch it again if it were on tv. :)

Funny thing about this movie.....When we went to see it and it starts off with the gravestone that has a date I read "19XX-19XX" not "1800's" like everyone else saw. I guess I just skimed the date and assumed it said 1900 because that is the century we are in. So the whole time I'm watching it I know it's in modern time and just thinking these are like some weird group who are all about the basics. When the movie was over I turned to FH and he was like "Wow...didn't see that coming" and I was like "What? You didn't see the gravestone at the beginning?". We argued about what the stone said but I obviously lost because everyone else in the movie theatre read 1800's. :p

I thought the twist at the end was interesting, but overall did not really like the movie, and would probably not ever watch it again.

FutureGallucci How funny that you knew the twist on accident. :p

The only thing I wish was different was the ending. I was hoping to see Lucius & Ivy get married and have their dance. Too bad I was watching an M. Night Shamalyan movie and not a nice happy ending variety. ;)

DH and I watched this movie because of all the hype but we were both disappointed.
