Ending


Can anyone explain the ending of this movie?

reply

I just watched and I kind of felt like she somehow did have a hand in the murders. I don't recall them explaining how part of her shirt was stuck on the barbed wire and the cut on her arm in the same spot. Did the psycho drug her at the bar, cut her arm and then leave part of the shirt on the razor wire? If he wanted her for himself, why implicate her so early on? Did she resume her affair with the cop? The nut and the cop looked an awful lot alike. Was that on purpose or was it just a coincidence?

I know that drove me crazy. I didn't even bother focusing on that fight scene because I couldn't tell who was who.

I know, right? They just left that hanging. My take on it was that yeah, the psycho guy drugged her (she "blacked out" as she said) and he perpetrated the crime, including being clever enough to implicate her ahead of time, to (I guess?) cover his ass. The guy did not come off as being mentally capable enough to plan that far ahead for a possible scenario if something went wrong (ie, she didn't fall in love with him)...as I said in another thread, people with borderline personality disorders usually do not have the capability to consider future situations as results of their present behavior (murder). They act out more spontaneously, and kill as an impulse without considering the consequences of their actions.
Did she resume her affair with the cop?
I guess?! Or maybe it didn't matter? That didn't make any sense. The last thing they show is her in the back of the ambulance looking soppily at the cop on the gurney with a headwound. But he looks okay, his eyes were open & he kind of smiled a little, so one could only assume he was alright. However, I thought the ending was kind of weird where she's sitting on the park bench, reflecting, alone, and her kids run up & say they're "sending balloons to daddy." It gives the impression that she's alone...why wasn't the cop who loved her with her? Was he still in the hospital? Did he die? Who knows.

Oh that was definitely intentional, to mess with the audience & create a feeling of "which one is the right one." They both had similar builds, spikey hair, similar demeanor...they look similar enough that they could be brothers.

I can't understand your crazy moon language.

The scene between Lila and Ed in her house towards the end, when Lila is provoking him, is this real, is she admitting she convinced Ed to kill her husband, or did she just say this to get him to confess to what he did on tape?
