The ending..questions
There is already a thread on here titled "Ending" but it didn't answer my questions. I was watching this movie, and then my husband calls me when there was 10 minutes left, and I basically missed the last 10 minutes of the movie. They were trying to figure out how they were going to get help, and the dad leaves to go find help on that little boat. The next thing I saw was the mom and son leaving for LA, they both look very happy together, and then it cuts to the dad sitting on an island looking all banged up and his raft is destroyed.
What does the mother and son think happened to him? Do they think he's dead and move on to start a life together in LA? If so, why do they look so happy? Shouldn't they, at least the son, be grieving?
What are we supossed to believe happens to the dad?
At the end I noticed it said, "In loving memory of...someone". So does that mean he dies?
I don't get it. Moral of the story, ignore all phone calls when you're at the end of a movie! lol
