A brief synopsis and the ending will be revealed for the movie - STAY

There's no trick ending, there's no rabbit coming out of a hat, and the filmmaker's not trying to distract you from the truth reveal it to you, Ryan Gosling said. In the beginning he says, 'This has nothing to do with reality.'

The visual strategy in Marc Forster's "Stay" is so subtle you might miss it, but it provides a clue to the movie's secret. I will describe the strategy but not the secret. It involves transitions from one shot to the next, some subtle, some bold, all of them so agile we're not always sure what we've seen. On a camera move, for example, an element in one shot becomes the whole of the next shot, but it's not a closeup, it's a new location. Or, as two men walk together, they pass behind pillars and it is possible, although not certain, that while out of sight they do a left-right flip. There is the matter of repeating almost unnoticed elements: Three out-of-focus spheres in the foreground, not lit so you'd much notice them, turn up in the next shot, also out of focus, also not much noticed. And there are costume details: Choices of shoes and socks, the length and style of pants.

Saw this one more recently. Not sure how it slipped me in 2005. Possibly I was partying a little too much in Bangalore. This one stars Ewan McGregor (of Obi Wan fame), Ryan Gosling (from Drive) and Naomi Watts (she did King Kong the same year).
