Has anyone else noticed this? (spoilers for 'The Plague Dogs' and this)


After seeing this film for the first time, I was surprised by how much the ending reminded me of the ending to another film I love. The film is "The Plague Dogs", and there do seem to be some similarites between the endings of these two films (not that I'm complaining, and of course I don't think that Moon Child copied the other film in any way, I just think it's great that two of my fave films have something in common! ^-^ ). Both films end with the two main characters going to the sea to die (however, this ends with them dying on the beach, whereas in "The Plague Dogs" the dogs swim out to sea and die), the last lines of each film are delivered similarly, and the theme song for each film plays as the characters die.

Has anyone else here seen "The Plague Dogs", and do you agree with this, or having anything else to say about it? :)

Will have to check it out. I read the book, and it broke my heart.

Which book? In my copy of 'The Plague Dogs' they survive after being picked up by a boat.

The Plague Dogs. The torture of the animals. The death of the fox. The accidental death of the guy who tries to help the little dog. Just the whole thing, it was brutal. "Happy" ending or not.
