Fantastic, but...(WARNING: ENDING DISCUSSED)

WARNING: ENDING DISCUSSED (BUT NOT ACTUALLY GIVEN AWAY)
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adored the film. It is the most bamboozling, head-scratching film I have ever seen with a fab script, some great performances and directing. There's just one thing stopping me from giving it 10 out of 10...the ending. I read someone else's comment, saying that it negated the rest of the film and that is kind of what I felt...after all it is entirely possible that the whole story was made up by Spacey's character and so what actually happened? Was any of it true? This is undoubtedly part of the genius of the script, but could also imply that the whole of the film (before the ending) was irrelevant, which is not completely satisfying, I think...anyway you can see how much this movie has messed with my head - it is a great piece of entertainment and what I love about it is that everyone who sees it will have their own idea of what happened, who Keyser Soze is etc. Excellent.
