It's become very popular in contemporary films to have the twist ending.
I hate when you see a film and after one scene you know what's going to happen and you can predict the whole story.
A story has been thought through to the end when it has taken the worst possible turn.
Ekk Deewana Tha' will have a surprise ending to watch out for.
One never knows how a bout is going to pan out and even in last 2-3 seconds things can change.
Story involves action. Action towards an end not to be foreseen (by the reader) but also towards an end which, having been reached, must be seen to have been from the start inevitable.
I really hate those books where the murderer turns out to be somebody you never heard of who pops up in the last chapter.
You never want your second act or the whole movie to just be this relentless march towards its goal. You want things to take the audience by surprise.
My stories always have these twisted happy endings, and the boy always gets the girl.
We've come through on a very strange path, and it's all somehow worked out.
A story is not finished, until it took the worst turn.
I never in a million years would have thought I would end up with Golden State.
I basically like the unpredictability factor. When I watch a film, if it becomes predictable, I lose interest in it.
I did know that the book would end with a mind-boggling trial, but I didn't know exactly how it would turn out. I like a little suspense when I am writing, too.
Discovering the 'impossible' ending to a new book makes me sick with joy and relief.
