Twists Define the Narrative Drive

Movies from the 90s and early 2000s often feature surprising twist endings that drastically reshape the audience's experience. Films like 'The Usual Suspects,' 'Seven,' 'Fight Club,' and 'Memento' evoke an 'oh shit' feeling by delivering unexpected conclusions. 'The Crying Game' is also notable for its twist, though it exists in a different artistic realm, marketed as a prestigious Oscar contender compared to the more genre-focused narratives of its contemporaries. The distinction lies in their tone; while 'The Crying Game' leans towards a deeper, more refined storytelling approach, the listed genre movies embrace a more pulpy and sensational style, enriching the landscape of cinematic experiences during that era.
