Comment on Movie Review: ‘Take Shelter’ Had Me Until the End by carinacarina

Ok , call me simple, I did not like the ending. Why do I have to wonder , was he right all along, is this another dream, is he schiizophrenic? Having to make up your own conclusion to the ending of a movie was not satisfying. Like a guy having dreams of falling to his death and the end is him standing at a cliffs edge, yet does not jump, THE END.I sat thru 2 hours of a movie with no ending or conclusion. I don’t go to the movies to have to sit and analize the ending.Like having sex and the partner just gets up and walks out, no reason, explanation and most important,no satisfaction.

I agree with ProjectMelton and Woodwin completely, but I would like to add one more hypothesis. I believe that Curtis’ daughter was always in Curtis’ schizophrenic ‘comfort zone’. Notice she joined him in his earlier hallucinations and he was always her protectorate (regardless if he failed or not). The ending is a reiteration of the doomsday-type hallucinations that Curtis was having the entire movie, except with one twist: his wife was finally joining them.

Curtis’ daughter could’ve been let into Curtis’ schizophrenic ‘comfort zone’ for several reasons. Either because she represents some youthful ignorance and therefore would not judge her father as harshly as adults, or maybe her own disability helps Curtis feel less alone, or, most likely, Curtis’ unfaltering love for his daughter simply trumps everything (minus his mental illness).

Just throwing theories out there.

The more I think about it, the more I love this movie!

Firstly, i just want to say i loved this movie. I can honestly say a film hasn’t affected me as much for quite some time, I really can’t wait for his next film Mud. I felt this was better than Shotgun stories so i hope the trend continues.Obviously the final scene has provoked some debate, the only reason i’ve seen this is because i thought it was beautifully shot and the score was so spine tingling i wanted to read other peoples opinions, i thought i had the ends meaning pretty well covered.
Anyway, here’s how i took it. The oil rain in particular indicated his dream state all the way through the film, why would that be any different for the ending?
The only difference was his final dream showed that he felt he wasn’t on his own anymore, subconciously knowing he had the support of his family, a sign that he had come to terms with his mental illness and was prepared to face the future.It was overtly over the top with a big tidal wave, receding shoreline and double tornados. Clearly intended to be another dream following the tone of the film.
This doesn’t make it an unhappy ending, it makes it real which is what the film captures so beautifully, people suffer from mental illness it doesn’t mean life is doomed. You learn to control and live happily with it.

They were in Mrytle Beach on vacation. The “Shelter” was back at home. I’m thinkin a tsunami coming straight for you doesn’t offer a lot of options. I like to think
They became their own “Shelter” as one, and got wet…

they are the best in the industry, it just felt like subtle product placement but you’re probably right

A lot of DJ’s and producers actually use Beats by Dre now so I don’t know if the film is advertising that necessarily.

Its a modern Noah and the arc story. He was considered crazy for building the arc etc… I believe the end is not a dream. I think everyone was against this poor guy and the enly ones that beleived him was his wife and daughter and at the end her reaction to the storm was he was right all along..Great acting great story even better cinematography. I love movies that leave you talking afterwards.
