3:10 to yuma ending question (don't read if you haven't watched it and want to) - GoFuckYourself.com

FightThisPatent · 02-13-2008, 06:33 AM

The film was great up until the ending and wanted to see if anyone understand the ending.

The train that pulled up had a prisoner car, but yet no guards. But that's not the confusing part..

At the end, Crowe's character shoots his gang and then turns himself in. During the story, we know he was supposed to go to Yuma to be hanged.

Why did he kill his gang that was loyal to him?

Fight the ending!

$tandaman · 02-13-2008, 06:35 AM

I think he mentioned that he was at that prison already 3 times. (and obviously broke out)

he turned himself in, imho because he promised to the guy, who was to collect the reward (for his family)

And he shot his gang, because they shot the guy in the back, even through he clearly was on the train by his own will.

pornguy · 02-13-2008, 06:43 AM

Watch the movie again, and this time listen to what Christian Bale is saying.

bronco67 · 02-13-2008, 07:02 AM

Crowe: "I admire you farmer man. I shot my whole gang down because I respect you, and it makes me very sad to see you get killed right before you completed what you had originally set out to do. Now I'm going to get on this train car and go through the motions like I am going to jail, even though I know I'll be breaking out soon, and probably get a new gang. (whistle)Come here horsey, follow this train so the audience will know all of this without me having to spell it out for them."

L-Pink · 02-13-2008, 07:05 AM

I think he was getting off when the train was out of site, that's why his horse was following.

Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life · 02-13-2008, 07:19 AM

I really don't know what there was to miss. Through the movie he came to respect what buddy was doing for his family and he was in a way envious of what he had and was putting himself on the line for. He was knowingly putting his life on the line for his family, so crowe's character dug up that one little bit of good the kid was yapping about the whole time and let the farmer put hm on the train knowing he could break free again anyhow. when his crew wound up shooting him Croweunload on them for killing the man he came to respect. He got on the trin so that he would be delivered and the bounty paid to the family so buddy's death would not be without honor.

It was a great movie, i like westerns. We need more good westerns...

mynameisyep · 02-13-2008, 07:20 AM

All he want is to help Tom to get the reward and for this he can help tom's family.

Martin · 02-13-2008, 08:28 AM

I wasn't that impressed by the movie.. They say "The Best Western Since Unforgiven" Yeah right, Unforgiven is 100x better then that lump of shit.

Then again nobody does westerns like my boy Clint!

stickyfingerz · 02-13-2008, 08:30 AM

Anyone else start to open this thread thinking it was a conversion ratio at first glance?

Tombstone is my favorite then maybe Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Phoenix · 02-13-2008, 08:41 AM

the movie was pretty good i thought

the train car didnt even lock..i think the two old timers were the jail guards

and crow just jumped on his horse and left

Christian Bale was a loser all his life.

Crowe wanted to give him a chance so his son would be proud of him.

I think they had a guard, someone unlocked it to let him.

Crowe shoots his gang because he was mad they killed Bale, and there was no way he could get on the train and look weak to his gang. He wanted to forfill what Bale started so Bale's family would get the money. Basically he grew a conscious and did a good deed. Like he said earlier in the movie doing good deeds is contagious and he couldn't do anything good and run a gang like that. He also knew he was going to hop off the train around the bend, so he wasn't going to end up in jail but he could no longer be the bad guy he was and what was needed to run his gang.

hope that helps. next time no more bathroom breaks for you, you missed some key parts

Good summary. He also respected him in some way for his non pussyness.

ucv.karl · 02-13-2008, 01:16 PM

I thought the movie made no sense. It was much of people doing random shit that had nothing to do with their character. Their motives where complete random and made the ending completely retarded.

QuaWee · 02-13-2008, 01:23 PM

Christian Bale is an underrated actor. The only movie of his I dislike is the Batman movie

Great movie. "There Will Be Blood" was another awesome one.

I have to agree with you on Tombstone. Val Kilmer was excellent in that as Doc. It's pretty awesome when he's half dead and comes out to fight; "I'll be your Huckleberry..."

'The assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford' was pretty good too.

uno · 02-13-2008, 01:43 PM

I didn't like the ending.

SxDx · 02-13-2008, 01:44 PM

yeah, the movie was great, but the ending SUCKED.

it made no sense whatsoever

That about sums it up perfectly. Very good western, though not better than Tombstone by any means.

Peaches · 02-13-2008, 02:14 PM

Yeah, I think he turned himself in with the expressed intent on springing out again, but the cowboy getting his reward. I loved the scene of him whistling for the horse ;)

Lonestar had a butch cassidy and sundance kid marathon on a couple days ago, i watched like 4 different butch and sundance movies. nothin better than paul newman and robert redford though.

Tombstone was good, I liked Wyatt Earp more though.

Cory W · 02-13-2008, 05:31 PM

Movie = Ok.

Assassination of Jesse James is much better.

LOL. yes, that was a good synopsis of what i had missed. i still think the ending was lame , but the rest of movie was great.

thanks to all for helping to unconfuse me...

Fight the review!

Jet - BANNED FOR LIFE · 02-14-2008, 01:32 AM

anyone who says the ending was lame didnt understand what the whole movie was about

Varius · 02-16-2008, 11:42 AM

I just watched this movie and enjoyed it even though I'm not really a fan of Westerns.

To correct some people above though, Wade didn't get on the train so Evans could get the $200 - Evans already took care of his family by having Butterfield promise to give hsi wife $1000 (as well as keep Hollander away from his land, etc...)

Wade got on the train so Evans' son would have something to be proud of his father for (knowing he could easily escape as he's done so before, especially with how lax the train security was heh).

I'd say killing his gang wasn't out of fear of showing weakness to them, but just out of rage at the fact they killed this decent man he had just done a good deed for and who he wanted to see return home to his family.
