1) What happened to Miriam? She gets taken of the bus and that is it, we never see her again. I was not to sure about this part, are we told what happens to her?
It's left ambiguous. But she was a fugitive who was part of a terrorist group and wanted for being involved in the murder of two police officers, so once they find out she's a citizen, she would be taken to prison and put on trial, I'm guessing. If they didn't find out her identity, she would either thrown into the camp or executed (we see a pile of dead bodies as the bus drives away, so I always took that as a hint that she was doomed). And if she was put in the camp, she would probably die when the military bombs the place at the very end of the film.
2) Theo has a strange affinity with Animals, particularly dogs, which we see throughout the movie. I thought it would be something special revealed at the end but nothing seems to become of it and he dies. What was that about? Imagery of some-sort?
You know, I'm actually not too sure why this is, and I've seen this film a million times. But I can say, the reason you see so many animals in the film is because humans in this universe have pretty much replaced the void of children with pets. There's pretty much an animal in almost every scene.
Apart from this, I think the rest of the movie is perfect. It executes the "Show don't tell" concept perfectly, which many movies fail to do by either telling to much or showing to much(without any proper explanation). The movie is a true masterpiece, perhaps these loose ends is probably because I was not paying attention or am to stupid to understand.
Yeah, this is one of the reasons it's my favorite film of all time. And no, you're not stupid. This is definitely the kind of film you can watch over and over and still pick up on stuff you didn't notice before. Like I said, I've seen it a million times and I still do that.
