Bookending, aka, the technical term for this videos title, is an effective technique for contrasting a character or situation from how it began, to how it ends up at the finale of the film. Whether it’s a film like 1917 where the character ends up in the same position and performing the same action, or a film like the Breakfast Club which uses the same speech to highlight what we now know about these characters beyond what’s on the surface, bookending makes it obvious to the viewer that something has changed. And while it can be a little overdone, it can’t be denied that it works!

In this video, we take a look at 10 examples of Bookending, whether they be simply using the same line, the same actions, the same music, or even all of the above! We look at films that used these techniques to contrast the characters change in circumstance, whether they were positive, negative, or in one case, completely neutral.

Do you find bookending to be a compelling cinematic technique? Do you think it’s overdone, or would you prefer to see other techniques used? I can say that my research pointed me to some LONG lists of bookended films, so there’s definitely arguments to be made for and against its use.
