The Ending (SPOILERS)

Very sad ending, I must say the film was good but it lost track of where it was going in the last quarter. Most of the film was research of the dead body found but then trailed on to the women's illness.

Very sad that Conk ended up blowing his brains out, it didn't really make much sense to me however, as the final element of the ritual Conk acted out was very different to Red Wind's.

Red Wind smashed the pot used to cleanse his niece/daughter? And then used the broken pottery to slit his throat, a totally different way of comitting the 'final element' that Conk carried out.

Good film but sad and slightly depressing.

Do you have the DVD ?? Watch it again. I strongly disagree with you, as I'm pretty sure the focas was suppose to be on Catherine's illness, not the dead body.

I'm not sure if the exact ritual needed to be done exactly as it was with red wind, but mind you I didn't notice during the film whether it was or wasn't

But, yeah, the end was a bit sad, and kinda made me wish his charactor could be alive to be with catherine. However, the last scenes with her on the train remembering ( the beautiful somewhere ) made the movie for me.

The final element was about sacrifice. Evidently it didn't have to be with the cleansing pot.

Red Wind used the first thing he could find, and Conk's closest thing was his gun.

With sadness, comes joy. She gets to live a full life, and he chooses to give that to her.

I finally got around to seeing the film (I taped it a few weeks ago from the Movie Network). I found out about it because of Jane McGregor - I had seen her in Flower & Garnet. Then I realized the presence of Roy Dupuis, and the premise sounded interesting.

I really liked it. As fyrefly7 said, the last scene in the train brought it together. It was sad, but at the same time it gave that sense of hope.

I'm going to see if I can track down a copy of that book and the soundtrack. On Amazon (US) that you can purchase the mp3s, but I would like to have the actual cd with the cover and all :-)

I'm glad I came across this film - it's hard to find the ones that are worth it.
