Jane Fonda Names Best Ending in Cinema History

LONDON, UK — Jane Fonda, a renowned actress with a storied career, has declared her choice for the best movie ending ever. In a recent interview with Marie Claire, Fonda praised the conclusion of Jordan Peele‘s 2017 film, Get Out, which stands out for its impactful storytelling and commentary on race.

Get Out features Daniel Kaluuya as Chris, a black man who visits his white girlfriend Rose‘s family, only to discover a disturbing truth about their intentions. The film unfolds as a gripping tale that merges humor and horror, tackling themes of racism in America.

The film culminates in a tense climax. After uncovering the family’s sinister secret of manipulating Black individuals, Chris fights for his life against Rose. An intense struggle ensues until Chris is about to strangle Rose, but just as the situation appears hopeless, his friend Rod arrives in a police car. This moment creates a twist that leaves audiences unsure of Chris’s fate, reflecting deep emotions of revenge and trauma.

Fonda’s choice of Get Out, a film released long after her own classics like 9 to 5 and Barbarella, emphasizes the film’s significance in contemporary cinema. Get Out has become a touchstone of the past decade, celebrated not only for its enthralling plot but also its sharp social critique and haunting ending.

This unique perspective from Fonda highlights the diverse emotional connections viewers make to film endings, demonstrating that a powerful conclusion can elevate a movie from good to unforgettable.
