Writing on the beach
Wicked film - well worth the import from Germany :) Brühl on top form as always. One thing though: can anyone tell me what Lukas had wrote on the beach that made the hippy girl run away?
shareI think he wrote "Game Over". Don't know why, though.
shareCheers mate. That definitely gives the ambiguous final scene of the crashing waves a more ominous lilt... and there was me hoping for a happy ending :( Very good film though. The director obviously knows his stuff.
shareA happy ending is quite abrupt and impossible to the current condition of Lukas...
I Love Daniel Brühl!!!

he DID wrote "game over", i'm 100% sure, i saw it on the dvd 3 times. Why? I guess we'll all have to guess, that's what makes the move so great.
shareI read it as an un-ambiguous *beep* off" to the girl, which is why (I think) she ran off. In his paranoia, I think Lukas was interpreting her concerned attempts to talk to him as intrusive, possibly even conspiratorial (esp. since he'd begun having delusions that the hippies thought he stole money from them). So the writing in the sand was a sort of "I'm done humoring you, playing your game." She was obviously just trying to figure out what was wrong, but when she saw that, she was understandably creeped out and ran away.
But after she read it and looked back at him, wasn't he sitting on the sand masturbating? I wasn't sure what to make of that...
