Directed by Denis Villeneuve. What does the film mean? What's that ending all about? What are the spiders supposed to be?

about to watch enemy for the second time. this time it'll be a farce.
I literally just finished watching this movie and immediately came to YouTube for some sort of explanation 😂
One of my immediate thoughts was that the colour palette made the film feel sickly.
Damn. I just thought it was about Jake Gyllenhaal's regrets for not playing Spiderman.
This explanation was so satisfying. Like a mind massage.
i must be really dumb because i had absolutely no idea what had happened when i finished the movie
Awsome. Exactlly what I thought. I would add a couple of things. The car crash is not imaginary, he had that crash and thats why her wife and mum knows he had another woman, thats why hes always touching his neck with pain in his face, he has a scar, his mum call him very often.... He had amnesia, and even the other people knows this, thats why the other teacher recomends him his own movie, because he even forgot he was an actor.
'Enemy' was a good movie about spiders taking over the earth. At the end, a man's wife turns into one of the big spiders. The man has a look of relief on his face because he likes to cheat on his wife, & since she has turned into a big spider, she won't be around anymore 'cause she'll be out terrorizing the city.
Oh, I get it now. That's why Jake is playing Mysterio. He is going to kill SPIDER MAN!
I've spent more time reading explanations than actually watching the movie.
The ending actually scared the shit out of me...I wasn’t expecting that lol
Jesus, that spider in the corner made my arachniaphobia 10000% worse...
Another thing about his wife becoming a spider at the end. She's pregnant, so technically she has 8 limbs. 4 of her own and the baby's 4. Same as a spider. Clever. Cheers.
The ending scene almost made me faint. I did NOT see that coming at ALL. That was some serious, serious, serious jarring imagery.
Basically this is shutter island and fight Club combined
I just finished watching the movie and was a little confused so I went to YouTube to hopefully find answers and saw a 24 minute video by Stuckmann. You can't really get much better can you ;')
YOU FORGOT TO MENTION: -After Adam(history teacher) watches the first movie he rented, he has a dream of that movie, and in that dream he sees a man with a spider web tie! -Also, When Adam goes to Anthony's(actor) house he looks at the shelves and sees the picture of Anthony with his wife(the same picture that Adam had in the begining but was torn in half), right beside the frame on the shelf are some books. The books are: Dynasties and Interludes, The Art of peace, Christ to Coke, First soldiers down, Hell in Flanders fields, The Astonishing General, Hidden in the Enemy's Sight, History in Reverse, Sailing Seven Seas(History of Canadian Pacific Line), Canada 1911,The Second World War. These are history books and Anthony has no need for history books. I just watched the movie and as soon as i saw the books and replayed what his mother told him, i understood that they are the sam man and he has a problem with cheating and living a double life. Cheers
You forgot about one major theory.. The Scar. A popular theory is that the car accident really did happen, actually the very first thing that happened chronologically. When Mary notices the ring mark, she freaks out, not because he's Anthony, but because she just now finds out he's married. And the car accident is presumably how Helen finds out about the affair, and because of her pregnancy, they get back together. But then he goes to the Sex Show, and the women stomping on the spider is his marriage being destroyed, so they separate and this is when he gets a new apartment and gets back together with his mistress. So the key he finds in the end, is the very same key he uses in the beginning..
I believe the “opening scene” of Jake at the sex club actually happens at the “end” of the movie. He looks guilty and ashamed as he holds his hands over his eyes and peers at the spider. We’re seeing this on a loop; he has actually just left his wife at home after imagining her as giant, frightened spider, but can’t help himself and goes to the club anyway.
can we just agree to the fact that Gake Gyllenhaal is a masterpiece
