Peter Bogdanovich's classic shows us the power of an ambiguous ending done right.
Hollywood legend Peter Bogdanovich’s father-daughter masterpiece Paper Moon is remembered for many things, though it's really its ending that in fact acts as one of the best ambiguous endings ever put to film. When it comes to memorable ambiguous endings , Paper Moon rarely comes to mind, with the likes of cerebral sci-fi flicks like Blade Runner and Inception usually intercepting it as the most prominent examples.
Proving as street-wise as her supposed father, the unlikely pair are locked in on a neo-Western road trip, getting up to plenty of mischief along the way. The title, while posing no relation to the book, was plugged in at the insistence of Bogdanovich and Welles, the latter of whom jokingly called it such a good title that it should be released even without the film behind it.
Themes of Misplaced Faith Run Prominently Throughout ‘Paper Moon’ Moses Pray isn’t just any old con artist in Paper Moon. He specifically makes his living off of approaching recently widowed women, claiming that their deceased husband had previously ordered a high-quality, personalized Bible made out to their names. He’s the antithesis of Robin Hood, scamming the poor and recently vulnerable as opposed to stealing from the rich.
