Midway through the credits


It says on IMDB "Midway through the credits, Mathias reveals his final decision on what he will do with the apartment and why." I left before the credits ran. What did I miss???

reply

You shouldn't barge your way out; there are too many movies that reveal more during credits that it seems ridiculous.
For the 1st reason that it's impolite; your type interrupt the movie credit roll (which we've paid for) which contains good music and important information always.
Secondly because you miss these important plot closures or sequel clues.
Mathias told the buyer he wasn't going to sell; that he's staying; 'it's a family thing'. It's not said but implied that he and Chloe will be together (which is why he went to Dr. to find out if they were related).
Now, was it worth missing?

reply

Thanks a million. I usually run out because I have to go to the bathroom! I did assume that he would not sell and would stay.

You shouldn't us the word "shouldn't". It implies a superior tone. My type? Just doesn't sound nice and neighborly........

reply

Seriously?!
You can't even take the time to proofread your reply - misspelled words.
I said exactly what I said because I meant 'you shouldn't barge your way out'.
That's the universal 'you', and you know that's what I meant.
Frankly, it's not a 'superior tone'; it's an exasperated tone. I just am tired of people (nearly everyone in any theatre) leaving during credits, and making a big ruckus when they do; especially those who squeeze their way past me.
In the last movie alone (not MY OLD LADY), I sat on the aisle seat, and because the exit was on my side, the entire row sidled past me a little at a time (whatever their excuses were) - ruining my desire to listen to some great classical music in peace.
Seriously! I can't listen to good music at that loud volume at home, so where can I but at the theatre, concerts, or in my car?
Oh well. As if you care. You're just too concerned about getting your feelings hurt.

98% of the credits are painfully boring to 99% of the people.
Who the f cares who catered the film? Or who the bookeeper was?
They used to limit the credits to the cast and a handfull of substantial creators like author, director, cinematographers, and somewhat unnessarily 2-4 producers. That I stayed for, but did you ever count the number of "producer" credits they give on the TV show "Law and Order"? I'm pretty sure one of them is the janitor.

reply

So, quit your whining and leave.
But, be polite about it. You're not the only person who paid to be there.
If you miss something that runs during credits, it's your business.

reply

I can whine if I want to.
It's America.
Get used to it.

reply

It's America, is it?
Then maybe you should look around and realize that in this country we don't have free speech anymore.
Just don't ruin other people's experiences at the movies, and you too can be respected for your desires.

reply

wow. you're absolutely charming. a stereo-typical classical music fan. what made you so condescending?

reply

YOU'RE THE ASS WHO'S CONDESCENDING.
When you push your way past someone still watching (and reading the scroll), and talk on your phone or with your companion - THAT'S being impolite.
Get over it.

reply

It's "impolite" to leave a movie during the credits? What planet were you born on?

Anyone who rants against people leaving a movie during the credits is the one that is on a high horse, dear.

This is what I said to the person who posted similar to you (just above):

YOU'RE THE ASS WHO'S CONDESCENDING.

Get over it.

Maybe you should take the time to read the other posts and replies, and take them in context instead of just the way you think.
If you want to know 'fanatic', there was a guy who shot someone in Washington State a few years back for interrupting his movie (during the credits). So, maybe my belief that people who leave should at least be polite about it is not so strange after all.
One day you people who think this is your private planet will wake up and realize that you're really not liked at all - everybody is just 'faking' going along with you.

And all you other posters to is this thread should note that the OP (aschmitt27) never replied to me again, but all of you thought it was your business to reply FOR him.

Hi Anne,

A long time ago, in a cinema far far away ..you talked about My Old Lady and the annoying 'stuff' that happens when the credits roll... And I just saw it again , the film that is, and I have to say I absolutely agree with you.:) , so you are not alone :) ! What I do, is I get up from my seat and lean against the wall to let other people pass so I can watch the credits in peace. I'm usually the last one to leave the room :).

Cheers from across The Pond.

Wow. You need to sit in a less inconvenient seat. If you want to stay for the credits, sit in the middle of a row. Then no one will climb over you.

reply

You're so dense as to consider mid-row as THE solution. That IS where I usually sit (for that reason) and where no one can sit in front of me. However, it happens almost every time, anyway. Which goes to show that more and more Americans are being less and less courteous and considerate.
Offending people can and do sit in front, back and side.
Often times they just sit there talking loudly, or playing voice mail messages loudly, and even after being asked nicely to be quiet and courteous.

reply

Yah! You shouldn't! It's so rude to the people behind (or above) you that. And then there's the real idiot that has the nerve to just STAND there momentarily and idly procrastinate like there's no one else there or watching. It's really annoying.

reply

i think revealing things during the credits is a very annoying thing to do. The end of the film should be before the credits begin, not after. especially as nowadays they are usually extremely long.

reply

The only person being impolite is you. For instance, how do you know he "pushed his way past someone still watching and reading the credits"? Were you there? Do you this person's specific circumstances.

No, you do not. YOU are the one being condescending and rude, and you have done so to just about everyone in this thread. aschmitt27 was even respectful in their reply to you, and what did you do? Continue to harass them further, ridicule their spelling, etc. You are not the victim here.

If you're determined to act like a snooty brat, at least take responsibility for it.

There's another scene at the very end of the credits. albeit one with no bearing on the plot. I will not say what happens in it, because as someone who always stays until the very end of the credits, I feel that such scenes are a special reward for viewers like me.

reply

I wish I left sooner. This"film" was a horrible waste of time.
I did stay through most of the credits, so I saw the scene with the real estate agent.
I did leave before the credits were totally over,so if I missed a little"gem"at the end, by all means keep it to yourself. I could care less.

reply

This"film" [sic] was a horrible waste of time.

So was reading your bilious mini-screed.

I could care less.

So could I. Regarding you and your uncalled for rudeness.

Thank you, thank you--you're most kind. In fact you're every kind.

reply

I thought I stayed through all the credits (I wanted to see the filming locations)but I guess I missed the "gem" at the very end. Can someone please satisfy my curiosity?

reply

Jim and Mr. LeFevre (so?), the real estate agent, are talking. Jim asks him where he learned English. Mr. L says he learned it from watching American movies, and then does a funny impression of Clark Gable in Gone With the Wind.

reply

That's supposed to be (sp?), not (so?). Sorry!

reply

Thank you tenbananas

A lovely film made for adults, enjoyed it immensely.

I also enjoy watching the credits, very often some things "click" for you, such as location information, production companies etc. Also it's interesting to see the amount of nepotism going on; sometimes I see small players & think they bear a familial resemblance to a lead actor, and there's the family name in the credits.

As a young man I couldn't bother with them, but now I glean plenty of information from the credits - and it's nice that some deserving people get a mention, even though having your name in the credits can be big business.

I kept my firm's name out of credits to stop competitors from horning in, so do spare a thought for the many people who work for little or no money just for a mention in the credits, albeit these days some of them are far too long.

reply

whoa, anne is the biggest douche on earth right now

reply

Oh noooo! I missed the credits and whatever was revealed! Please answer this question regarding Kline's visit to the doctor. . ..was he related to Scott-Thomas or not? Were they brother and sister? or?????? This was somewhat confusing, for me anyway. . ...

reply

Not brother and sister. The doctor tells Kline that.

reply

The credits are part of the movie. You paid and you have a right to leave anytime throughout, but why 99% of people stand up upon the first credit, when the film still has 5 minutes to go, is beyone me, and it is very rude when everyone does it all at once.

reply

Credits should just be credits I think. Shown after the story has finished. If they want to show something during the credits it could be outtakes perhaps.

reply

I Wonder how stage actors would react if the audience would do the same and stand up as one and leave the room as soon as the last word of the play is told !
