![]() ![]() ‘I’m Thinking of Ending Things,’ Book vs.movie differences breakdown here.) Here goes nothing…. I didn’t read the book, which, from what I’ve heard, explains this conclusion a lot more clearly. Fair warning, I’m not an expert on this film and this is merely my interpretation of the ending. Before you’re like, “Excuse me?” I’ll do some explaining. Okay, I’m not sure the best way to get into this, so I’m just going to say it: Jake is the janitor, and the girl is a figment of his imagination. That brings us to… The “reveal” of the story For context, his parents’ house is in the middle of nowhere, on a farm, and it’s the middle of a snowstorm. So she’s starting to see things around her that make her think, Wait, what the hell is going on here? The boyfriend in question seems relatively unfazed. She opens a book of poems to a poem she could have sworn she wrote. “Lucy” looks at the wall and sees a picture of a child she’s pretty sure is herself. Meanwhile, we keep seeing footage of a random janitor in a high school, and that janitor seems to have no real connection to Jake or “Lucy.”īack at the house, things get even weirder. So basically, she’s watching them get both older and younger before her eyes. ![]() Not only is the dinner itself awkward, but afterward, as “Lucy” is walking through the house, Jake’s parents start to age up and then age back down. Like I mentioned, the movie follows an unnamed girl (who is sometimes called “Lucy,” but not all the time) when she goes to meet and have dinner with her new boyfriend Jake’s parents. ![]()
