    My Parents once made me watch The Game. It's one of those movies where everything is supposed to be super mysterious and relies on the spectacular twist ending while also including a ton of expensive but boring action sequences. It's about a billionaire who has some personal issues and his brother stages a huge conspiracy (that's the revealing twist at the end) to make him value life again and rediscover his good side. The whole thing is incredible stupid. Especially the ending, where he shoots someone with a gun that he thought was fake and therefore tries to kill himself by jumping off the rooftop only to be caught by a giant air pillow that was placed there by his brother. When he emerges from the pillow, everyone involved in the conspiracy, including the guy he thought he shot, is there to wish him a happy birthday. He now is a better man and the actress who fake falls in love with him during the conspiracy is now really in love with him.
