Just saw the Manchurian Candidate and it was really excellent. The end got away from me though. Does anyone know what happened there?

Do you mean the original or the remake? (I don’t know what changes they’ve made for the new version, so can’t comment on it.)
The new one.
I dunno – haven’t seen it yet – but I’ve seen several reviewers make veiled references to the ending. Apparently it’s not quite the same as the original ending.
I don’t know what happened, but I know the commercial warns that you won’t be able to breathe through the last 30 minutes of the movie. Was that true?
The commercial actually said “the audience won’t exhale”. So apparently you’ll be able to take in air, but not release it, during the final 30 minutes. I would recommend carefully taking tiny gulps of air during this period to avoid passing out.
Michael, that’s no good. Do you have any idea how much carbon dioxide will build up in your system if you do that? I’d rather pass out than die. Sheesh.
I was a bit confused by that myself!
I was thinking that maybe Denzel Washington and the Raymond Shaw guy had some kind of connection that prevented him from following his orders? Not sure!! But I enjoyed the movie as well.
Yeah someone told me that the elected President was in the Manchurian room at the end, meaning both the VP and the President were owned. But what does it all mean? Was the presidental guy in on the whole thing? Why would he have himself assassinated? Did they reprogram Denzel to take out the troublesome Printisses?
