amazing film, but i would change the ending of the movie


i gave it 9/10, amazing movie really, but instead of this last theatre scene and after graveyard scene in my opinion it should have been be just one more scene where he's looking her through the window of benigno's apartment. it would have multiple meanings (which i would prefer more), and more misterious ending. but nevertheless, amazing movie, that's just my idea anyways...

I would have liked to see Marco and Lydia get together sense Benigno couldn't be with her. I know the film implied that there would be something between them from the last subtitle, but a scene with them together would have been nice.

I believe you mean Alicia. Lydia has passed.

I believe so too.

However, I do like the way it ended: following the flow of the movie i.e. putting the name of the couple as it starts.

No, it would be too far streched and become cliche happy ending.

No, the ending is perfect. At the beginning Benigno spies Marco when they are watching a dance sequence by Pina Baulsch about blindness. At the end Alicia spies Marco when they are watcing two sequences; the first is about a comatose the woman, the second is of dancing couples. The dance scenes perfectly all events. It was most beautiful to use them.

No matter.
Try again, fail again.
Fail better.

I love the ending as it is. They exchange looks, we know what's going to happen, end - seems absolutely right to me. An unambiguous but delicately handled conclusion.
