Ending


How does this movie end?

reply

SPOILERS... Obviously

Queenie's husband killed Jordan's dad, because the prophet was going to take Queenie away from him and seal her to Jordan's dad. He admits it to Queenie and turns himself in. Jordan tries to get his mom to leave the cult, but she wants to stay. Queenie and her daughter leave the cult with Jordan, but 1st she goes to see her husband and tells him that she'll never remarry and she'll come back to testify at his trial that he's a good man and he killed for her sake.

What can I say about that suit that hasn't already been said about Afghanistan?

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Don't read if you don't want to know the ending.










It turns out that Queenie's husband killed the guy. Queenie takes her daughter and goes away with her friend at the end of the movie. Patricia Wettig's character (the lady who was originally arrested for the murder), well she elects to stay behind with the other sister wives.

IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE!!!

It was a totally different than the book. Disappointing ending.

Okay, I have NOT read the book, but I DID look into the ending. Here's what I know: Jordan's mom chose to stay in the cult after she was released from jail, just like in the movie. Queenie and her husband ESCAPED without him being arrested; he left his confession in a letter to the police in order to set Becky-Lynn free. He also said in the letter that he and Queenie (and I presume their daughter) disappeared and that they'd never be found. When Jordan and his friend (a male not mentioned in the movie) caught Queenie and her husband trying to escape, Queenie's husband had her tie them up and gag them until they made their get-away. Queenie didn't want to treat them like that, but felt she had no choice and told Jordan she was sorry, both at the time and later in a letter she wrote right before they fled.

I wish they had done the ending that way - I hated to see the husband arrested, but they probably thought they shouldn't let him get away with murder -- however justified.

reply

Nah, I think it just made for a prolonged dramatic ending. And who knows-I think that if they weren't going to let Hiram off, he definitely could have eventually bailed with his fam.

i don't think queenie would ever marry again, but i do think that she and jordan become "more" than friends..there was too much undertoned "tension" b/w them, esp the way they looked at each other..i choose to believe (for the movie version) that they did fall in love but queenie kept her word and never married but jordan was fine w/that just as long queenie and he could be together as a family along w/her child as well...tell me you didn't see the "tension" b/w jordan/queenie? i know that me and a few friends sure saw it. i am glad she told her husband in jail that she would be ther to testify for him-- he would always have a place in her heart, afterall he did this for queenie so she wouldn't have to go w/another man.

reply

I don't buy for a minute that she and Jordan were hungering for each other, and her husband may have been released.
