i don't get the ending vertu much.......the guy, who helped her to find the guilty guy ,receives an e-mail from her and he starts writting,so it means he stalking her like the other guy????...and what about the part when she's in the restaurant taking to a girl and she sees the bracelete in a the waitress's ankle?....those were the parts that confused me.can anyone explain them to me????i'd really appreciate it!!!
shareDaly was just writing back to her because he was happy to hear from her -- and he had a big crush on her. But that is not stalking. He had helped her and she was saying thanks.
And seeing the waitress with an ankle band on was just to show some empathy, and a reason to not judge others until you have walked in their shoes -- which she had.
In response to hoyden1, I think the ankle bracelet on the waitress was meant only to propel the ending to give the viewer some closure. The movie shows Zoe, immersed in her new life, and seeing the ankle bracelet brought back all of these memories of her past, and about Bill. And it prompts her to send Bill an email.
I don't know if the movie is implying that there is a future for Bill and Zoe together, who knows... But the scene at least gives us (the viewers) with a sense of satisfaction -Instead of ending the movie with Zoe on a train, leaving everything behind, off into the sunset with this feeling of emptiness. I mean, so much of the movie has to do with watching these two, Zoe and Bill, develope a relationship in addition to growing and changing as individuals in each other's presence.
So the movie owes it us to give us something about their later connectivity. And I think that's what the ankle bracelet on the waitress is for.
First - Edit - I stand corrected. Having subsequently watched it again, I don't know why I never realised it was a female.
Second - I think it's implied heavily that he isn't so much as stalking her, as he is living out a huge crush on her. Things that the DJ did compared to Daly having a fantasy or two do not equate to each other on the scales of obsession. At the heart of it, if Finn Taylor would have written something more clear cut for the end, I could see Zoe and Daly entering into some sort of relationship... but Taylor opted to depict her as being able to handle things on her own as opposed to always needing the comfort of a man. Either possibility works, but I'm not the writer/director.
