I Couldn\u2019t Help See Other Possible Connections<\/h2>\n
Ok, I\u2019m assuming you\u2019ve either seen The Great Escape <\/em>and are caught up on Stranger Things 5<\/em> Part 1, or you don\u2019t care about spoilers from either. While it\u2019s possible that this was not the intention when referencing The Great Escape<\/em> in Stranger Things<\/em>, but after watching The Great Escape<\/em>, I did wonder if events later in the movie offered a bit of unfortunate foreshadowing to what happens at the end of Episode 4 of Stranger Things 5<\/em>.<\/p>\nIn The Great Escape<\/em>, the escape is interrupted when the soldiers spot a prisoner who didn\u2019t wait for the go-ahead and exited the tunnel at the worst possible time. This puts an abrupt end to the escape efforts. In Stranger Things<\/em>, one of the kids slips on the water outside the bathroom, which tips off another one of the kids that something\u2019s awry, and leads to an end to the escape. In both the movie and the show, the plan almost worked perfectly… until it didn’t.<\/p>\nAs dark as the ending to Episode 4 was for Stranger Things 5<\/em>, with the children ending up in the clutches of the Demogorgons, I don\u2019t think anything could\u2019ve prepared me for the ending of The Great Escape<\/em>. The film left me with a mixture of emotions, and I can easily see why it’s such a memorable and frequently referenced war movie. I\u2019m also really glad for the excuse to watch the movie after Stranger Things<\/em>, and it\u2019s made me even more determined to catch up on classic films I haven\u2019t seen before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
