00:00Hi, welcome back to my channel.
00:02In this video, I will explain the ending of A Lot of Nothing, so, let's begin.
00:06James and Vanessa are an elite couple living in L.A. who have just found out that their
00:10neighbor, LAPD officer Bria Stanley, has shot a kid.
00:14It's breaking news!
00:15Vanessa is enraged at how Brian shot a black kid and has had enough of his racist schemes.
00:20James, however, tells her to wait and find out the whole incident that has transpired
00:25before reaching any conclusions.
00:27As irritated as she is, she tells James to take a gun, just in case he needs it, and
00:32confront Brian.
00:33However, they end up making love.
00:36The next day, Vanessa faces prejudice at work.
00:39This adds to her rage, and she returns home only to notice Brian smoking outside his house.
00:44She confronts him about his actions and ends up being mistreated by Brian.
00:49She returns home and tells James, who has already returned from work.
00:53James is shocked at what Vanessa has done and decides to speak to Brian and clear things
00:56up with him.
00:58Talking to a cop like that is not right.
01:01As he tries to speak to Brian at his door, Vanessa pulls a gun on Brian from behind James.
01:06James is at his wits' end, seeing all that Vanessa is doing.
01:10They bring him to their garage and tape him to a chair.
01:13All this is because Vanessa wants to speak to him.
01:16What will be the end result?
01:18James and Vanessa also have the former's brother Jamal and his wife Candy coming over for dinner.
01:23How will that turn out?
01:25A lot of nothing is what follows.
01:28Here is everything you need to know about the ending, just to let you know this video
01:31will contain spoilers.
01:33What the film does best is explain what's going on between James and Vanessa through
01:37their very conversations.
01:39And this begins from the very first scene itself.
01:42Vanessa holds Brian responsible for the death of the black kid without having any proper
01:46knowledge of the incident and is bent on questioning him.
01:49She believes that Brian gets his kicks out of killing black kids, but in reality, she
01:53is just making things up in order to reach a conclusion that suits her mentality.
01:57Then, she manipulates James to follow her path too, using his bitterness to feed her
02:01emotional mechanism.
02:03James addresses this and tells her that he has been seeing a therapist and understands
02:07that the equation that they share isn't healthy.
02:10But rather than listening to him, Vanessa is shocked at how James has been talking to
02:13a woman behind her back.
02:15It is just irritating how she ignores the bigger picture to salvage what she can, which
02:19adds to her cynical mindset.
02:21But no matter how much James understands this, he still follows her while keeping his
02:25calm and sensibility.
02:27He tries to figure out how to go about getting what Vanessa wants without making things worse.
02:32There is one scene in which James stresses his manhood and shows how he is trying to
02:35prove to himself how much of a man he is by interacting with the lady Ayotte on his air
02:39bike.
02:41But we only realized this towards the end of the film when he reveals to Vanessa that
02:44he cannot father a child.
02:47Perhaps this is also the reason why he slept with Candy, his sister-in-law, i.e., to reassure
02:51himself of his manhood.
02:53But we all know that it is futile.
02:56Manhood is not only about making love to a woman or fathering a child.
02:59On the other hand, his action aren't morally right either.
03:02Vanessa, on the other hand, is someone who questions everything, so to speak.
03:07This sometimes makes her cynical and at other times, she hits the spot, for instance, she
03:12knew Candy slept with James.
03:14We do not know how she came to guess it, but she did.
03:17We can say that there will come a time when there will be people like her who will pull
03:20guns, on others only to have a civil conversation with them.
03:24So however she may be, we cannot question her, either from a moral standpoint nor from
03:28a psychological standpoint.
03:31Considering the title of the film, both Vanessa and James are a lot of nothing.
03:35Vanessa has her insecurities that result in nothing but her own pseudo-satisfaction, while
03:39James has his complex that also results in nothing but his own pseudo-satisfaction.
03:44Do James and Vanessa let Brian go?
03:47As shocking as it is, James shoots Brian.
03:50This is unexpected, especially since they now know that the kid Brian shot, not deliberately,
03:55isn't a black kid.
03:56The kid was white.
03:58So maybe the reason James shoots him is that Brian's facts contradict Vanessa's truth that
04:02Brian shot a black kid, which she evidently managed to persuade James to accept, if not
04:07believe.
04:08Read that again.
04:10What adds to James' frustration is when Brian apologizes to him for shooting a kid.
04:15As surreal as it may sound, James might not be interested in Brian's killing a kid, but
04:19what bugs him is the fact that Brian apologizes to him, and it makes him look at himself as
04:23a criminal or the one who has turned out wrong.
04:26The film effectively shows a dead Brian, but as the camera is about to reveal his bloodshot
04:30face, the scene cuts to reveal Candy's newborn baby.
04:34This symbolizes Brian's death bringing about a new kid's arrival in the world.
04:38The film ends with James and Vanessa staring at the baby's face on their phone, thanks
04:42to the picture that Jamal has shared from the hospital.
04:45It's painful and unnerving because all the events that occur in the film are a result
04:49of the death of a white kid, and the film ends with a black kid being born.
04:53A Lot of Nothing has a captivating plot that appeals more to the mind than the eyes.
04:58It is definitely a worthwhile watch, as it forces us to break our heads about all that
05:02goes on in the film.
05:03You may like it, or you may hate it, but you cannot ignore it.
05:07And that's the thing about A Lot of Nothing.
05:10That's all for now folks.
05:11I would appreciate it if you could give the video a super thanks with a thumbs up and
05:14subscribe to the channel, so you can see more content like this every day.
05:18Take care.
05:19Bye.
