As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for historical dramas and a soft spot for Cillian Murphy, I must say that “Small Things Like These” has left me intrigued, puzzled, and eagerly anticipating the post-credits discussion. The film’s enigmatic ending is akin to an unresolved game level where you’re left pondering the consequences of your actions.
Small Things Like These spoilers follow.
Cillian Murphy has spoken out on his new movie Small Things Like These‘s abrupt ending.
In the first person, I would say: As a fervent admirer, I’m excited to share that the versatile actor known for his roles in Peaky Blinders and Oppenheimer is set to star in a film about Catholic church-run asylums in 1800s Ireland. These institutions were primarily intended for women who were seen to have ‘strayed from their path’.
In a turn of events, Bill’s character encounters a woman named Sarah in distress, and as time passes, he unravels the grim secrets hidden within these institutions. He finds himself grappling with the moral dilemma of choosing between what is right and his apprehension towards challenging the authority and might of the church.
The movie delves into all the events that culminate in his decisive action: rescuing Sarah and returning her to his household. Yet, it’s crucial to consider the ramifications of this choice for the community, the church, Bill, Sarah, and the other women within the asylum. How does this decision impact each of their lives?
The movie concludes without any further explanation, much like Claire Keegan’s novel with the same title. This sudden ending has stirred up debates, which Murphy seems to enjoy.
In a conversation with Radio Times, he expressed his viewpoint: “It appears that this has been the case for those who have already seen it.
“What makes this book, adaptation, and movie unique is that the main conflict arises post the initial event. Opinions on the situation vary greatly among individuals.
It’s fascinating to ponder, as it seemingly unfurls without end, leaving one wondering about its mystery.
As a gamer, I can see that this game could either have a hopeful or optimistic vibe, or it might take a more pessimistic turn. You catch my drift, right? It’s intriguing stuff, and to me, it seems like a hint at the weakening influence of the church during that era.
Small Things Like These is out in cinemas now.
