A fun (and ridiculous) theory about the ending of Spectre

Just read this article over at Entertainment Weekly:

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/10/spectre-ending

What do you think? Obviously it's all a load of fantasy, but I actually kind of, sort of, like it. It goes some way to 'explain' a lot of what I thought was wrong with the third act of the film...

    A very fun read! And crazily plausible (and it gave me a bit of a chill, TBH), except that James Bond Will Return, of course ;) Instead, it's just a dodgy 3rd Act...

    Actually, yeah - it could happen like that.


    I'm glad it didn't/isn't.

    I don't like this etherise that 'the character died at this point in the movie and everything else is in his head.

    They'll save that for when/if Christopher Nolan directs a Bond film :)

    What do you think?

    Answer: What utter cr*p!

    Entertainment Weekly really are desperately scraping the barrel.
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    I don't know about you but I Loved the ending of the film.

    I thought the final part in London was really good! I'm with you on that!

    Apparently everything is secretly a dream sequence these days.

    Incidentally, I thought the torture scene was full of 1984 parallels:
    1) Blofeld refers to Bond as his little brother, making him Big Brother.
    2) His description of the torture machine as targetting nerve endings is reminiscent of the machine in 1984.
    3) The name Oberhauser is somewhat similar to O'Brien.
    4) Blofeld wants Bond and Madeleine to turn on each other as Winston Smith and Julia do.

    Not such a crazy theory.
    Have you seen Point Blank ?
    The whole film is supposed to be the last ten seconds of a dying man's life: his eye's mind expanded.
