The Ending *spoilers*


Hi. I was reading the past posts, and I don't think they have really answered the question I have. I'm Chinese. I speak Cantonse, yet for the life of me, I still feel as if it's a plot hole. So any help here would be appreciated, to shed some light on the topic.

I don't really understand the ending, where Nicholas (Chiu) was in a coma but he was having an out-of-body experience and fighting Stephen (Fung). Then while this was happening, Danielle was trying to revive his body with electro . . . something. Then I know Nicholas sheds a tear, which is supposed to symbolized regeneration (hope) and I guess, by extension, reincarnation. But then I think, his heart stops. And his ghostly body is spewing out light/electricity in the fight scene with Stephen. Then without any explanation, he's alive again holding Danielle's hand, saying that from now on, it's going to be two "living" partners, because he says so. Is it supposed to be a nod to how humans hold their life and destiny in their own hands? But then, I think that's where the plot hole appears. Must we disregard all the other information about how he is destined for a solitary life that we were made to believe is true?

Or is it because he has been revived, that all previous rules that applied to his life before , don't apply anymore?

Thanks.

i was confused by that aswell, i just guessed that when he and his partner both survived and defied their fate as ghost/man partners it all changed. it is really confusing!

my DVD just came through so obviously i opened it and put it on instantly...

Feng is revived by Tide's tear or love and reincarnation because he admits his love to Wind (AS A FRIEND for all you people who think this is homoerotic) which he couldnt do before because of the death star or whatever its called :P "were not friends, were colliegs(sp?)"

Tide was revived by Danielle's shock padels, nothing special about that, it happens sometimes... plus Paper Chan said he'd live til he's 80, which he will.

Even though he also said Wind would die, i think that was changed because of Tide's love since he also got with Danielle who should also be dead acording to Paper Chan :P
