Now, most of the time, the cruelest thing I think an author or director can do is have their book or film, respectively, conclude with an open ending. I've invested all this time in these characters and this story and now I have no closure?!
Consequently, I personally love a good epilogue. Especially in a movie. Not only do I get closure for the characters in the current narrative I've been following, but with a few short sentences, I get to find out the extended path each character follows.
It made me think, how much better would an epilogue-less movie be if one was added to the end? With that thought, I present to you: Added Epilogue. And the first movie I decided to try it on, Independence Day.
