The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise, while a fan-favorite, has left some plot holes across its five movies that remain unaddressed and have led to confusion among viewers. Meanwhile, 'All of Us Strangers' has been noted as one of the most emotional movies of the year, but its ending has left audiences perplexed. Film critic Samuel A. Adams has broken down the film's conclusion, while another critic, David Fear, highlighted the movie's thematic contradiction, stating that the attempt to truly know others may be the only thing that really matters. Despite opening in only four theaters in Los Angeles and New York City, 'All of Us Strangers' was the number one in per-theater box office on its opening night, indicating a broad appeal for its tragic gay love story. The film's ending has sparked debate, a phenomenon not uncommon in cinema, where fans may love a movie but fail to agree on its meaning. Director Andrew Haigh's choice to conclude 'All of Us Strangers' with the romantic '80s ballad 'The Power of Love' by Frankie Goes to Hollywood was discussed by Haigh and the band's vocalist Paul Rutherford, shedding light on the song's significance in the film's context. The film's success and discussion are being shared on social media with hashtags like #AllofUsStrangers and mentions of related accounts such as @AOUStrangers, @paulmescalfiles, and @PaulMescalNews.
