You can kind of guess how a lot of films are going to end, at least vaguely. If it’s a romantic comedy, the two charming leads will, after a tumultuous eightyish minutes involving amusing but frustrating misunderstandings, realise how much they love one another and get together before the credits roll. If it’s a slasher film, there’s probably a maximum of two main characters that’ll make it all the way through. James Bond won’t die but will get it on with (at least) one female.
Some films go a little bit further though, adding in little hints and snippets of foreshadowing, whether revealing a secret early or just indulging a bit of aren’t-we-cleverism, leaving little clues that upon rewatching, make you go, “Whoooooaaaa, it was there all along!”
SPOILERS! But, then you already knew that, didn't you?

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
