Movies rarely end in uncertainty. Audiences don't like uncertainty. And highbrow movies don't assume narrative is artificial. All narrative is artificial. It's manipulated, structured, controlled, constructed, invented.
Narrative is fake.
Of all the films to pick on, Hunter chooses Pulp Fiction. There's nothing uncertain or noncommittal about its ending. The two gunmen walk out of the diner toward absolute certainty, one committed to his own spiritual awakening, the other to his doom. Hunter appears to be someone so lost in nostalgia for the movies of his youth that he can't see the obvious. Hollywood is flourishing at selling imagination, brimming with ideas, drama and character.
