because the cats dream came true :')

[57worldwide]

No it didn't. Its dream was to be adopted.

[ForsakenArcher03]

Pop tarts.

No, they lived happily ever after. You can interpret that how you will, but the antagonist doesn't return to cause problems for them. In the movie Shrek, there is an open ending, and then a sequel. That's why writers leave endings open, so that you can imagine what is going to happen next, and so that they are free to continue the story from where the first left off.

[Ivan Ivanovitch Ivanovsky]

In (1/2) I tried make you realize its correct to assume that the prince and princess living happily ever after, meant that they stayed married and had a great life together. Thats how this movies are meant to be analyzed. Its the exact same way with "stray", its correct to assume the cat to have gotten a home, because in this short film everything points to that. Why is that so hard to understand? (2/2)

[Ivan Ivanovitch Ivanovsky]

You're right. Living happily ever after explains everything. It means they got a divorce, the prince went to rave parties fucking women from the age 20-25 until he became 70 and rode fast cars and motorcycles. The princess became an underwear model and she spent her life feeding men false dreams and found enormous joy in their tears of unfulfilled dreams.

Your way of thinking allows this to be the plot of a disney movie for 7 year olds, but its not. The prince and princess stayed married. (1/2)

[57worldwide]

That's true, it could just as likely turn into a robot tyrannosaurus etc. It's an open ended work of fiction.

I haven't seen the movie you mentioned, but I don't have to. Why are some works of fiction open ended, and others are not? For example, once upon a time, a princess met a prince; they got married and lived happily ever after. There is no "what about X", nothing else is possible because you know how it ends.

[Ivan Ivanovitch Ivanovsky]

Have you seen memento? The end there doesn't show that he keeps on killing, but we still know he did.

You not being able to realize there actually is one more correct way of analyzing what happened after the end is adorable. According to your way of thinking, what happened after this could just as likely be the cat turning into a robot tyrannosaurus rex with octopus feet and spectacles. You are either being deliberately difficult to reason with, or you have no idea about fiction at all.

[57worldwide]

Actually, it didn't get adopted, it just ran away at the end. Watch the video again.

It doesn't matter what is implied or hinted towards. Just like the ending of La Haine. We don't know what isn't shown (ie, the cat getting adopted), we only know what is shown (ie, the cat running away, not getting adopted). If anything, I would say that it suggests that the cat isn't adopted, because where do you adopt cats from? That's right, the animal shelter. The place he ran away from.

[Ivan Ivanovitch Ivanovsky]

Wow, now I know who I'm not gonna watch movies like inception memento and following with.

Unless there is a sequel that further builds on how this cat gets a home, the cat got a home. It is painful to see how short minded you are

You don't have to be that clever to understand that it strongly hints toward the cat being adopted and that anything else would just be ridiculous and an extremely bad written plot.

You got to see the ending too. It didn't not get adopted either.

[57worldwide]

You got to see the ending. It wasn't adopted.

[Ivan Ivanovitch Ivanovsky]

I have seen that movie, but I think a 2 min animated short film is meant to be a little simpler. For me this was a simple short film with a simple plot, but yes with an open ending you could over analyze this into being about the jews, but for me its just reading between the obvious lines. The film just has so much more quality if the cat foresaw it getting a home if it got famous and got a home, instead of it not getting a home. If the ending was revealed and it didnt, it would be a trashy plot
