Heretic Ending Explained In 3 Minutes Or Less

[@Stumme-40203]

The whole movie wasn’t real. It was just a Butterfly’s nightmare.

[@kiwthebeauty]

The reverse Butterfly Effect!

[@MadelynJolie]

She died and the the other girl did not save her to finish killing him, she was already dead, this all simply happened in her mind, as she was already dead and crossed over to the other side... She died when she was stabbed and he was by her side. He died too

[@palpanapa]

Her dead mind??

[@MegaMarno]

@@palpanapa Your mind continues to live for about 8 minutes after your body shuts down, so this is extremely plausible.

[@TheAmateursOriginalMusic]

@@MegaMarno have you tested this theory?🤣🤷‍♂️

[@MegaMarno]

You can google it, Anyways, I love these movies where the endings are left to interpret, well this hole movie is about interpretation, My take is she died in that basement, no way sister Barnes could just muster enough strength after losing so much blood. Sad because I want her to survive, was rooting for her after she stabbed the dude.

[@idiot-i6x]

Barnes didnt die she hallucinated about the butterfly.

[@jepgasalao5114]

why isnt everybody talking about this movie enough? This is mind blowing!

[@niviamaeva]

Loved it !

[@itsagoal182]

Hardly

[@muhammadhariz6148]

When i search for a movie ending explained, and more than 30 videos appear i know no one truly undetstood 😅😅

[@kiwthebeauty]

Why does this film give me so much “The Lovely Bones” symbolism to it too?? Especially people really confused on the end if she died or is she alive. In “ The Lovely Bones” about another crazy man kidnapper killer, the young girl didn’t know she was dead just living in some alternate reality almost in a dreamlike state. Why does it seems like the ending is giving Sister Paxton that same “dreamlike state” with the butterfly and her seemingly escaping?

[@bluecali4na]

I think Sister Paxton is stuck in the in between like Susie was.

[@DAVIDELLIOTT]

None of these explainers discuss the ending in terms of the simulation hypothesis, which makes just as much sense as any other expanation. The butterfly disappearing was the first sign that this iteration of the simulation was complete, and everything was being deleted, ready to reset for the next iteration.

[@skye_belle888]

I thought she just imagined the butterfly but that makes sense also

[@arpitshivhare217]

That's what I got in my mind when I finished watching it

[@skye_belle888]

@@DAVIDELLIOTT You're right because the simulation hypothesis was only mentioned for a short amount of time in comparison to him rambling on about religion, control and everything else. If indeed it was about the simulation, then I would've expected more references to it throughout the movie. Unless I missed it because I was so focused on him being a crazed athiest murderer trying to prove some wild theory about faith instead. Of course, I meant to watch the movie a second time but didn't get around to it. Or saw anyone else mention the simulation hypothesis online. Now I have even more questions. I simply thought the butterfly represented faith. I'm going to have to look this up now. Now I'm even more confused lol.

[@bluecali4na]

The way the butterfly flickered was a huge hint to it

[@skye_belle888]

I have to watch it again. It's definitely one of those movies you need to watch more than once for me anyway 🦋

[@ILOVEEE_SHARKS]

Honest opinion who's seen this movie

[@WhiteSiroi]

just watched it, pretty interesting, but if you watched this youtube vid - you know the spoilers :)

[@dizzy_star]

A friend and I watched it last night, we really enjoyed it but the last 20ish minutes were a bit messy. Just wish it had been cleaned up a bit more.

[@Hollywooddecember]

I did, I loved it

[@idiot-i6x]

Why are you here? Go watch Avengers 😂😂😂😂

[@bigj5546]

Yes, my reason to look for this ending review. They all die in the end.

[@coolguyisda1]

Had a few “dead” in the audience of my theatre too but they were just dead asleep! 😅

[@Yasuo-t7s]

I believe she lives because the butterflies disappeared

[@user-pe8vk5hm3t]

why dont you use corresponding images to explain what ur saying

[@DanaJaneWriter]

I truly believe she survived.

[@Snaplexity]

no she didnt survive, remember when he said are we butterfliess that dream that are humans or we are humans dreaming we are butterflies, and the last scene butterfly dissappearaed from her hand ..everyone died, and everything is controlled andd not true..like the meaning of the whole plot and life, everything can be aand cant be true at the same time , depends on how you look at it

[@7thKings]

nah...she is the butterfly...

[@aldede5448]

@@7thKings Barnes is the butterfly and Paxton actually survived.

[@TheAmateursOriginalMusic]

@@aldede5448 I’m the butterfly and so is my wife!✌🏻😉

[@ricksanchez1527]

How can she survive a stab to stomach your organs are cut and you are dead on the spot

[@nijebitno8550]

I wonder if Sister Paxton is named in homage to Bill Paxton, a late actor who played a Mormon in the tv series about Mormons "Big Love"

[@kozakhanda]

think she got caged up in the end. she realises this when the butterfly flies off and her fingers look like the fingers of those prophets

[@kattmanggomanggo]

Agreed

[@griminc6548]

Imo she survives the butterfly was just in her mind which is why it disappears. You can see after it disappears she looks up as if she sees the non existent butterfly flying away. This signifying she still believes, whether it's the truth or not.

[@pholippe1441]

If the butterfly was Barnes spirit saying goodbye to Praxton then it could disappear also. There are two interpretations also, like the doors, belief or disbelief.

[@griminc6548]

@pholippe1441 Totally agree and that's a very good way to look at the ending. Love when movies leave the endings open with multiple ways to view it.

[@nazhul]

Question: The girls went through the door „belief“ did it change anything? I dont get it, because afterwards he tries the girl to convince miracles exist. But why, they went through belief? What would have changed if they would have chosen the other door „disbelief“? Can someone explain?

[@kiwthebeauty]

Both doors lead to the basement. It didn’t matter which belief you will all end up in the same place which was his point. The true religion to him was control. The whole thing was controlled.

[@nazhul]

@ agreed. Maybe he would have just mixed up the miracle story a bit different then?

[@mcsnaffle5443]

This is pitiful.

[@simontrickfilmer]

Now watch Book of Eli again

[@Yasuo-t7s]

She's alive

[@charlesovatar]

yes i thought she died as well

[@hannablue7038]

please, give me a break!

[@nazhul]

I liked it very much

[@pewahluv]

It's a simulation

[@Mohammadkashifkhan2093]

I believe this was an Atheist propaganda and I didn't like the movie, quite that much, mostly because it was painted with an Atheist's brush.

[@KING-MUFFASA]

Too much talking movie was boring

[@starscreamdecepticon5285]

Another one of Hollyshit non-sense movie...what waste of time. I rather watch paint dry.

[@Stumme-40203]

It was great. It was finally a movie that actually makes you think and question your beliefs while still letting you make your own decisions and not telling you what to think.

[@TheAmateursOriginalMusic]

She survived, the butterfly was her friend. Only just noticed A24 in the gate-thats cool🫡

[@MegaMarno]

Interesting take. But why do we see the butterfly just disappear and then the ominous and sudden void of silence, perhaps that was a moment of realization for Paxton that she is actually dead.

[@michelagiordano3382]

I think the butterfly symbolises that belief is in your mind and you see what you want to believe. She believed that her friend came back as a butterfly in an omage to what she wanted to come back as but in truth it was all in her mind because the film is a constant reminder of how religioni is based on what you want to believe. Didn’t explain it well but I hope you understand what I think

[@TheAmateursOriginalMusic]

@ So did she die or escape? I think in the end the film forces you to believe in the hereafter which is kind of control?

[@michelagiordano3382]

@@TheAmateursOriginalMusic I saw it as she is alive and she survived because of what she believes in, which does not mean that there is an afterlife, but that your belief gives you strenght (in fact she prays even though she says that it doesn’t serve a purpose). From the beginning she is the one more curious about the world surrounding them, so the reason she holds on to religion it is to consciously find comfort

[@Yasuo-t7s]

​@@MegaMarnoi think she survived cz she said if she die she would bcm a butterfly and follow who she likes... So it can't be her as a butterfly... It must be the other girl
