Significant Other Movie Ending Explained: “Significant Other”, a new Paramount+ Original Film has been released by the platform that is quite unique and deserves a watch in the long list of content released this week. The story is quite interesting and the film does not star the big actors but yet, it’s still spot-on. What if especially interesting is the ending of the film.
In the start of the movie, we see a comet coming to the woods in the Pacific Northwest where the lead actors are going for a backpacking trip over the weekend. It’s also revealed that something has come in that comet that is not human, an alien-like creature.
After the interval, we see that it has taken the shape of Harry, Ruth’s boyfriend and while the real Harry is dead the alien has copied the whole biological genome from Harry, even his feelings so when the alien goes to kill Ruth he can’t because the body he’s inside is of Harry and Harry loves Ruth so he can’t kill him.
The alien tells Ruth that of all the creatures in this Universe, only Humans are capable of love and he feels incredible feeling that for Ruth. He doesn’t want to kill Ruth but wants to take Ruth to someplace far away in another planet because he is just a scout and more alien spaceships will come and what they’re going to make of Earth, she doesn’t want to see it.
In the end, after Ruth tries to kill the alien Harry who takes the shape of Ruth herself, she bludgeons her with a rock after the alien Ruth has a panic attack. Ruth flees and on her way out in the car, she hears the alien Ruth’s voice that she can’t run away and in the back window we see more comets/spaceships in the sky meaning that more aliens have come to Earth to take over Earth.
