The Fountain. The whole thing is pretty much that.Long dream-like character study endings. What are the best examples?
Would you count the final couple of episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return?You'd like Synecdoche, New York, I imagine. Brazil is another obvious example. Also, like, the second to last episode of almost pretty much every Bojack Horseman season, though not the actual season finales.
Dreamlike, definitely. Though it's debatable whether the last episode represents Cooper descending into or waking up from a dream. Character study? Not so much, if anything it very deliberately obscures character motivations. Which is sort of a bookend to the entire season. It both starts off and ends on a very emotionally distant note.Would you count the final couple of episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return?
Pi from the same director somewhat gets there in its ending, though it's not as long or verbose as the likes of Evangelion.The Fountain. The whole thing is pretty much that.
Yeah that's a good example too. Forgot about that film, it's been a while since I've seen it.Pi from the same director somewhat gets there in its ending, though it's not as long or verbose as the likes of Evangelion.
Was sort of thinking Brazil as well, but wasn't totally sure it fell under the same category. I guess it does.You'd like Synecdoche, New York, I imagine. Brazil is another obvious example.

I watched it twelve years ago.Texhnolyze. Why will nobody watch it? It can't get any more existentialist and as for character study it digs deep into the very heart of humanity itself. I have never experienced('watched' would be a disservice) a show(or any story for that matter) that impressed me this much. Best piece of fiction ever created.
Best music as well..
Too bad. I quit right before that, at episode 20 of 26.The Big O - More so in the last few episodes of the 2nd and final season.
I suggest you finish it just for the sake of completion. I won't spoil the ending for you, but it ends in a gainaxy open ended kind of way. It was supposed to act as a last episode or a continuation for another season that never came. Honestly, how they would make a third season out of that is beyond me. Sometimes it's best just to let things end. the ending is love it or hate it territory, but I actually like the ending. I felt it was a fitting end to such an awesome show.Was sort of thinking Brazil as well, but wasn't totally sure it fell under the same category. I guess it does.

It's kind of hard to find in good quality.Texhnolyze. Why will nobody watch it?
