White Bird in a Blizzard (2014) Movie Synopsis - Plot Summary

In 1988, when Katrina "Kat" Connors (Shailene Woodley) was age 17, her mother, Eve (Green), disappeared without a word. The story weaves back-and-forth with flashbacks of Eve's past life and the present day.

In the flashbacks, Eve was a wild girl who gradually changed into a domesticated housewife after her marriage to Brock (Christopher Meloni), an ordinary man who leads an uneventful life. While Kat explores her blossoming sexuality with her handsome but dim-witted neighbor and schoolmate, Phil (Shiloh Fernandez), Eve struggles to deal with aging and quenching her youthful wildness. She tries to be sexy when Brock is away, even luring Phil's attention. After Eve disappeared, Kat deals with her abandonment without much issue, occasionally releasing her own wild side, seducing the detective (Thomas Jane) investigating her mother's disappearance. The film then jumps forward three years to the spring of 1991. On a break from college, Kat returns home and seems unfazed to learn that her father is in a relationship with a co-worker.

The older detective that Kat has been having an affair with informs her that Brock might have killed Eve after catching Eve cheating. Kat dismisses this theory, just like she did three years ago, but after mentioning the topic to her friends Beth (Gabourey Sidibe) and Mickey (Mark Indelicato) they tell her that they suggested this same theory to her and she dismissed them as well. Kat suspects Phil of sleeping with Eve and confronts him the night before she is to return to college, but Phil angrily rebuffs it and tells her that Brock knows where Eve is.

Kat begins to unpack Brock's suspiciously locked freezer in their basement, but is stopped when he walks in on her. She questions Brock about her mother's disappearance, asking if he does in fact know where Eve is, but he denies having any knowledge of her whereabouts. Believing her father, Kat bids her father goodbye and tearfully boards her flight, returning to college. It is revealed that this was the last time Kat saw Brock, as he went out to a bar shortly thereafter and drunkenly admitted to murdering Eve. He is soon arrested and later hangs himself with a sheet in his jail cell as well as showing that Brock moved Eve's body from the freezer the night before Kat unpacked it.

The film ends with a flashback of Eve's death; she came home from shopping the afternoon of her disappearance to find Brock and Phil in bed together. Phil dashed out of the room and Eve began laughing hysterically at Brock, incredulous, and he responded by wrapping his fingers around her throat, asking her repeatedly to stop, to which she kept on laughing, and he strangled her to death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Bird_in_a_Blizzard

Rurounin Kenshin: The Legend Ends (2014) Movie Synopsis - Plot Summary

Hiten Mitsurugi master finds young Shinta digging graves for bandits and slavers killed earlier. Shinta explains that all people are only bodies after death. Master decides to take Shinta as his student and dubs him Kenshin.

Kenshin wakes up at Master's home, asks if Kaoru ever turned up. He has been unconscious for three days, and master tells him that Kaoru is most likely dead. Kenshin, grief-stricken, asks to learn the final Hiten Mitsurugi technique, Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki, in order to defeat Shishio Makoto and prevent any more loss. Master obliges, and the two engage in a duel during training. That night, Master tells Kenshin that something is wrong with him, and that he will be given the night to think it over. If he cannot find what it is, Master's final task is to kill him. Kenshin is unable to think of what might be wrong and engages in another duel with Master. During the duel, he learns that he had thrown away his will to live during his time as the assassin Battousai, and therefore is unable to defeat Shishio as he has no intention of coming out alive. Afterwards, he is able to learn Amakakeru As he concludes his training and is about to depart, Misao arrives with news. Kaoru has been rescued and is recovering in a Kyoto hospital, but Kenshin has been branded a wanted criminal throughout Japan for his work as Battousai during the Bakumatsu era. Knowing that Shishio intends to take Tokyo next, Kenshin intends to return home by a secret route given to him by the Oniwabanshu at the Aoiya Inn, but discover that Okina has gone on ahead and encountered Aoshi, who was lying in wait for Kenshin on that route. Kenshin and Misao arrive and Kenshin duels with Aoshi, during which Okina dies of his wounds. Back at the Aoiya, Misao tends to Aoshi and convinces him to return to the Oniwabanshu. On Shishio's battleship, Shishio, his partner Yumi, and one of his men, Hori discover that because of Shishio's inability to sweat, he can only fight for fifteen minutes without putting his health at risk.

Kenshin arrives back at the Kamiya Kashin dojo. Megumi, who has been looking after the dojo in Kaoru's absence, welcomes him back, but shortly after his arrival police arrive to apprehend him. Wishing to prevent further violence, he surrenders, and is taken to the Home Ministry head, Ito. Ito explains that he had tried to talk Shishio into abandoning his plan to overthrow the Meiji government, but the negotiations had ended in disaster and Shishio, still bitter about his cruel treatment by the new government (being burned alive), would only leave the government be for the time being if Kenshin were arrested and executed. Otherwise, he intends to attack Tokyo. Kenshin convinces Ito that he can defeat Shishio if Ito helps him. Ito seemingly decides to go through with the execution anyway. Kaoru, Sano and Yahiko return to Tokyo soon after and, to their horror, discover that Kenshin is to be executed the same day. Shishio's men attend the execution to ensure that Ito carries through with the negotiations. The execution, however, is merely staged, and Kenshin is freed and assisted in defeating the men by Hajime Saito. Sano joins them, and the three are rowed to Shishio's battleship. While searching for Shishio, Kenshin meets Seta Soujiro again and the two rematch. Kenshin comes out victorious, and Soujiro, who originally believed Kenshin to be weak, is crushed and confused. Kenshin finally finds Shishio, Yumi and Hori waiting in the ship's hold. a duel ensues between Kenshin and Shishio, who easily overpowers Kenshin. Saito arrives immediately after, followed by Sano and Aoshi, who followed them from Kyoto, but even the four together are no match for Shishio. Shishio hits his limit and Yumi attempts to shield him from Kenshin while Shishio stabs both of them, killing her. Meanwhile, Ito's men begin firing at the ship, intending to sink it and drown Shishio and Kenshin inside. Shishio condemns Kenshin for helping such a government. Kenshin agrees that the new Meiji government is faulty, but argues that the age of assassins like himself and Shishio is over and that there should be no more violence. He manages to defeat Shishio using Amakakeru, though not physically harming him. Shishio, who has long hit his limit and whose body has become overheated, catches fire and burns to death before the group's eyes.

Saito, Aoshi, Sano and Kenshin escape from the ship before it sinks and are brought back to shore, where Kaoru, Yahiko, Misao and the Home Ministry are waiting. Ito acknowledges Kenshin as Kenshin for the first time and declares Battousai dead, and his men salute the group as heroes. Aoshi and Misao return to Kyoto, and Kaoru, Kenshin, Yahiko and Sano return to the dojo. Kaoru notes the change of season, as well as the end of Kenshin's life as Battousai. Kenshin expresses his desire to continue living at the dojo and to move forward into the new era, and invites Kaoru to move forward with him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rurouni_Kenshin:_The_Legend_Ends
