Ending
I am really curious about how this movie ends, I would appreciate any help.
shareI just saw this for the first time last night. Part of me wanted the original copule back together. Sadly, that's not what happened. Angelica Houston lets him off of the hook by saying she's tired of dreaming. Next thing you know she sets off the alarm to bring the detective back and kisses him when he comes. Then the husband goes back to Marissa and they kiss on the beach. Papi is in a palm tree that he climbed looking out over the ocean. The husband says that Papi is always "looking for Cuba". Then it ends with them kissing.
shareI'd like to add something about the ending of this movie: Certain members of the Americanized Perez family realized that he has escaped from the prison he had been in for 20 years in Cuba but circumstances, including the wife's lying, thieving brother, kept the separated couple from getting together once he had gotten to American soil. When they are finally reunited, they both have recently fallen in love with other people.
When they take a walk just after publicity shots are taken of the "happy couple" who waited for 20 years for the husband to escape the Cuban jail, the wife played by Anjelica Huston says to her husband Al Molina, "I couldn't let go of you -- until you let go of me." That says to me that when he was with the other Cubans waiting in the Miami Rose Bowl and he met Marisa Tomei, he "let go of her."
