Ending - Love Field (1993) Discussion

[–] margotdashwood 15 years ago

Are you sure you saw the whole thing? Because in the end he returns to get his daughter and while he and his daughter are hugging the camera moves towards the window and you see her car come back and then she gets out and they allude to them probably getting together, at least stay friends if anything. But yeah after she gets out and runs back towards the house, the camera stays on the car and the credits start. The audience can decide what they want i suppose, i guess how i see it is they do get together...i am just gana think that bc i thought they were spectacular.

I would bet they stayed in touch long after he incident. I can't see her and her husband ever being right so somewhere down the line she will make the move. Yes this was the sixties but there were plenty of inter race couples around. I also wondered if she could sustain being picked on for the rest of her life.

A year had passed at the end, noted by the Johnson/Humphrey campaign poster (i.e. 1964 presidential election). When she and Paul reunited, she mentioned that she and her husband were divorced ("I hate that word, divorcee!") and that Ray had a new girlfriend and was now living in Port Arthur, Texas, which is about 300 miles (484 km) from Dallas. So he really wanted to get far away from her. haha

It is up to the viewer's imagination what happened, and yes she DID come back in the car at the very end, which I hoped would happen. I thought the movie was really good, I never heard of this, came in about 5 minutes in to the film and was glued to the TV the whole time. It was a great film, and it still disturbs me how disgusting people were just 40 years ago (the racist idiots back then). I also love the fact that the ending was not long and sappy, the way they do film endings today (with all the embarrassing happy music and dancing-uggh). This film gets a 10 from me. Also wasn't the male lead the guy in insurance commercials today?

My take on the ending, is that she came back for him, just like he came back for her when they were staying with the woman. I don't remember her name, but he was sleeping in the barn. Anyways, she came back for him, and what happened after is they had a relationship. Whether they got married or not, is up in the air. I do know, at that time, ( the 60's) mixed relationships were very, very difficult. I know because I am black and I had them albeit in the 70's. She would be known as a ni**er lover, and of course he would be threatened with violence constantly. Even so, from the ending, it is impossible to know what their future was. It may have worked out.

I agree cyberwoff as I like they left the ending open for the viewer to decide. I think they did stay together because of the fact that love is overpowering and trumps the hate card anyday plus Paul Cater was a strong smart confident man unlike her domineering controlling husband that manipulated her every move...Lureen was openminded and accepted everyone who treated her right and she loved and bonded with the little girl Johnell so I think it did work out for them plus once they grew up a little more and the years passed interracial relationships were more accepted in the 1970's so screw what everyone thought of their relationship as the world is too close minded anyway even today in 2015.

I was they would've ended up together.

It's been a while since I've seen the film but I also remember her coming back. The wiki confirms she returns to be with Paul and his daughter.

Revenge is the most important meal of the day.
