Question regarding the ending
I just saw the movie and loved it. But I don't understand the ending, I mean, I would love the ending if the movie finished when he tries to flee from the park when the dog isn't seeing and the train passes by at the same time, giving the idea he was going to kill himself. Or later when he tries to kill himself along with the dog and the dog goes away from here, I would think that amazing too, just like Shoes shine ending.
But why this ending? He tries to suicide, fails, and then suddenly he wants to continue to live his life happily with his dog? I reall don't get it.
In Bycicle thief the main carachter doesn't have his bycicle returned in one minute, or in Shoes shine the kids don't get their freedom and friendship back in the ending, why did Umberto have that privilege?
I'd like to read some opinions.
