The last penalty kick????


What happened? Did cursi not trust his brother, so he kicked the other side? or did he kick to the right of the goalie, opposite to how he kicked the first penalty?? im debating with a friend whose right!?!

Yeah, he went to Rudo's right this time, whereas Rudo went to Cursi's right. Genuine misunderstanding, IMO.

It's like the early scene in the movie. In that scene Rudo wanted it to his right (Cursi's left) and Cursi thought he meant his own right (Rudo's left). In the final scene then Rudo went to his own right thinking that by telling Cursi to go the right he would do the same thing as before, however this time Cursi thought Rudo meant his own right and that Rudo would dive to his left.

Made you look!

I think it has A LOT more meaning than that... Cursi decided in that instant, to give the game to his brother, he decided to sacrifice his career and the game to "help" rudo. This is because Rudo told him to the right AND WENT RIGHT, thinking that his brother was going to kick to HIS left... so, as you can see, there was no mistake, cursi did it on purpose so his brother could be the hero... he made a sacrifice... or at least, that's how I saw it.

I was wondering too. Plus, just as a viewer, you're thinking beforehand too, are they both going to go the right way this? Or were they going to both do the opposite of what they did in the beginning, which would have just been the same thing. I was waiting for Rudo to say MY right or something. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen.

I think it works either way. But I was thinking that Cursi decided to give the game to Rudo after he told him where to kick it.

It was the other way around. Rudo was trying to let Cursi make the goal... Rudo NEEDED Cursi to score because he needed to throw the game to save his own life... but Cursi misunderstood (due to the confusion from before) This time each brother went with what they thought the other meant the first time.

This is evident in the way Cursi looks confused and disappointed at the end. If hw as trying to let his brother be the hero, he wouldnt have looked confused.
