Doctor Strange will fight his evil doppelgängerĭoctor Strange eventually sets in motion another spell that will wipe the entire world’s memory so no one knows that Peter is Spider-Man.
#GONE HOME ENDING MOVIE#
(Michael Keaton’s Vulture, the villain from the Holland movie Spider-Man: Homecoming, will appear in Morbius.) Sony looks to be building towards a Sinister Six film centered on Spider-Man’s greatest foes with this growing cohort of antagonists. We do know that another Spider-verse movie, Morbius, starring Jared Leto as the vampire character, is set to debut next year and exists in the same universe as Parker’s Spider-Man.
So we may yet see Holland’s Peter battle the carnivorous creature. That symbiote could attach itself to anyone and create another Venom. But just as he gets up to leave, he’s sucked back into his own universe by Doctor Strange’s second spell that restored the multiverse.īut Venom does leave a drop of black goo behind. Finally, Eddie figures it might be time to find Peter. There, the bartender tells Eddie about the Avengers, Thanos and the Snap (all events that took place in Peter Parker’s universe but not in Eddie’s). During an end-credits scene, we see that Eddie has only traveled as far as a bar on a tropical island. The Father is out in the US now and is released in the UK on 12 March.But Eddie and Venom never quite make it to New York to chat with and/or eat Peter Parker. So Anthony plays Anthony, and – coincidentally, I presume – two actresses called Olivia play his daughter Anne. Presumably the name was changed to add to one of the dilemmas which the film grapples with: namely, what is personhood when unwillingly detached from a past? Oh yes and the names: The father in Le Père, the play on which this is based, was called Andre not Anthony, so there’s no nominative determinism at work in the casting here. So Olivia Williams plays another version of Anne, and Mark Gatiss plays another version of Anne’s (presumably ex-)husband Paul. Both his carers (Catherine, and Bill, played by Mark Gatiss) appear earlier in the film. The layout of rooms in the care home is identical to that of the mansion flats, where he may or may not have lived on his own and with Anne. In his current life, Anthony no longer has any context provided by his own short term memory so he’s been subconsciously filling in the gaps himself. It’s like two photos being superimposed on each other, though we often don’t know if we are in Anthony’s confused present or (mis)remembered past. We can see the trees through his bedroom window, framed by leaf-print curtains, leaves upon leaves, memory upon memory.Īdmittedly in this film chronology cannot be relied upon, but my assumption is that Anthony has been in the care home for much of the time, though his memories are impinging on real life, and vice versa. Catherine holds him and reminds him they can go for a walk in the park. The leaves are falling off the trees, he says, meaning his memories are disconnecting from his life.
Imogen Poots as Laura the nurse, Olivia Colman as Anne and Anthony Hopkins as AnthonyĪnthony is asking for his mummy like a small boy. She comforts him as he breaks down, calling him “baby” (Anthony’s reactions to infantilising speech have varied throughout the film). “What about me? Who exactly am I?” Anthony asks his nurse, Catherine (Olivia Williams). Anne has gone and comes back only occasionally to visit. Then it moves to a few weeks further on, still in his bedroom in the care home. (She leaves through a courtyard, walking past a huge sculpture of a face with the top part of the head missing.) She is moving to Paris and will come back every few weeks to see him. The last of his autonomy is almost gone, along with his ordered memories. Tellingly, she is explaining to him that together they need to make the decision for him to stay there. This is a confusing film, though as for Anthony, when the only measure of happy ending can be acceptance, go with what makes you feel best!Īt the end of the film, we see Anthony (Anthony Hopkins) in a care home bedroom with Anne (Olivia Colman). Incidents loop on repeat yet often never have resolution. I’m not sure it’s meant to be explained rather that the sense of being adrift in a newly changing world be felt just as acutely by us the audience as by Anthony himself.Ĭhronology, time flowing at a regular rate, and accuracy of recollection are all up in the air. The Father is about the fear and dislocation of ageing and dementia, and what identity means when memory has gone.
