Who is Rosebud?

Dear Dumb Guy: I have heard several people mention something called “Rosebud,” and they use it in such a way to suggest that it’s some kind of secret they can’t reveal. What is it? - Curious in Connecticut

Dear Connecticut: First of all: SPOILER ALERT! In the course of answering your question, I’m about to give away the ending of a cinema classic. Read on if you dare.

Hey, thanks for coming! Okay, so Rosebud is a reference to the 1998 film “The Crying Game,” which contains not one but two major twist endings. Bruce Willis is dating a woman by the name of Rose Bud. But when they go to make love for the first time, it turns out that Rose has a … you know … DING-DONG. She’s a guy.

This all feels like a terrible dream to him, and in the film’s final twist, it turns out it is - Willis’ character actually died at the beginning of the movie, and none of this stuff actually happened.
