“Spoiler
Alert”. If there is something more long lasting than a first impression, it has
to be that last impression. In fact some goodbyes stay with you much longer than you think. Maybe
that’s why some people are remembered more for their last words than the lifetime
of discourse they spend the better part of their time yapping. Movie endings
have a similar effect. While the climaxes are critical in defining the plot and
the overall viewing experience, that final shot where the frame freezes right
before the end credits roll are capable of making a lasting impression. Some
last shots are so striking they stay with you for days and at times weeks and
months. They may variously be optimistic, heartbreaking or shocking, but the good ones
certainly last. Following is a list of such lasting ‘last shots’ in Malayalam
films that will positively stay with you for a while, be it elating or
unsettling.
