intentional error in the ending?
I noticed that the abrupt ending to the film seems to be marked by a sudden shift in weather - the movie comes along wonderfully until the scene in the rain shifts to a brift sunny day - at which point, there is also a shift in tone - with the seemingly tacked on happy ending. I wonder if the studio forced bergman to change the ending to something more positive, and in response, he created this obvious technical flaw to point out the seperation between his original idea, and what he was made to do in the studio's commerical iterest. It seems like too much of a coincedence. does anyone know if he spoke about this anywhere?
Tarkovsky is the king.
