German Nurse? *Spoilers*


Was the German Nurse shot? I found the scene ambiguous and cannot tell if she is reacting to her patient's death or her own.

Ditto. Wikipedia says she was shot but I felt the scene to be ambiguous.

I felt nothing ambiguous about it. The dying Arab points the gun at her. She shakes her head, gagged and her hands tied. A shot is heard. Her body jerks and then she slowly slumps. I really like her facial expression, one of "why the f--k are you doing this?"

It's just as plausible that he shot himself right in front of her. All she did was slump and that indicates nothing. I would slump if someone shot themselves in front of me. Bit of genius by the filmmaker if you think about it ... leaving it up for such debate
