From 'Weapons' to 'A House of Dynamite,' 10 movies you need to stream right now “Jesse always thinks I'm crazy for this,” Stone says, but Michelle “really does, I believe, want very much to save the world. It's devastating to her in the end to have to make peace with the fact that they have become a poison to the planet and that the planet needs to move on. So even though there are some villainous moments within her, deep down, she does care about the promise of humanity and yet has been consistently disappointed by the reality of what people do to themselves and do to each other.” For Stone, Michelle’s monologue that connects humans and Andromedans reflects a lot of real-world themes, “this draw to addiction and to destroying other people and destroying yourselves and poisoning everything, whether it's yourself or the planet,” she says. "I do think a lot of that is true. There is a sort of death drive that can exist in our human form. But there's also a great capacity for hope and positivity. It's just which side is going to win out in any given moment.” What’s up with Emma Stone’s full-body sweater in ‘Bugonia’? With the Andromedans, Lanthimos says he wanted to come up with “something we hadn't seen before, not a cliche science-fiction kind of visual.” Because they’re an ancient civilization, he wanted to use “a lot of organically created things” and even their mothership “looks almost like a sea creature in the depths of an ocean.” Then there’s the Andromedan wardrobe, which consists of what looks like knitted full-body sweaters and a hat. “It was really incredible in its construction, but it was like a cage underneath and it trapped all heat,” Stone says. “We were on a soundstage, and so all of the Andromedans were like, ‘Oh, my God!’ It was so heavy. It had the look of cozy while being the polar opposite but so brilliant.” Plemons’ most interesting accessory was more gruesome: A bust of his decapitated head goes flying when his bomb vest goes off, and he’s got “a great photo” of Stone holding it, “which I will cherish forever.” What’s that song heard in the 'Bugonia' finale? In its final moments, the movie shows scenes of dead people all over the world as Marlene Dietrich’s 1960s cover of “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” plays in the background. Screenwriter Will Tracy recalls hearing that tune as part of a playlist Lanthimos had going on the set, and at the time, the director wanted to “see how it feels,” Lanthimos says. “Everyone kind of felt that it was right.” Lanthimos hopes the visual aspect of humanity’s end combined with the emotional underpinnings of the song inspires audiences to figure out their own interpretations of the stark ending. “Like if they feel hopeful at the end or sad or hopeless or whatever, I think there's room for everyone to decide for themselves or leave with a certain kind of feeling,” Lanthimos says. “And then think about it again and maybe find some hope if they didn't originally.” Featured Weekly Ad Source: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2025/11/01/bugonia-movie-ending-spoilers-explained-emma-stone/86863669007/
