0161 — Finale and Epilogue! (Patreon)

Animal House dazzled me as a young and innocent lad — but not the obvious parts. I was fascinated by the closing sequence, in which the film informs the viewer of how the various protagonists' lives played out beyond the end of the story. It sent my jaw to the floor and my mind to the horizon of the galaxy that a film could so punk-rockishly flout convention. And who really wants to say goodbye to the characters of whom they have grown so fond? This technique of superclosure gives us congenital worriers the assurance we can safely say goodbye, that our new friends went on to new and suitable contentments.
