What an offensive ending...

The director/producers really made a horrible judgement call having
such a ridiculous ending for this film.

I don't think there is a single father alive who would actually choose
a child that's a stranger over the life of his only daughter.

I realize it's a crappy decision for him to have to decide
but its ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous to even think for a second
that he would let his own daughter die.

The worst part is, only the single funeral scene would have needed to
be re-written and re shot.

Almost makes me wonder if there is a different ending that was
shot and they made a decision later which way to go.

Either way, their crappy release/distribution is the result of a piss poor
decision and now they are paying for it.

Aspiring filmmakers, remember the last 10 mins of a film is where most
of your viewers will decide if they liked the film or hated it, which
in turn gives you good or bad word of mouth.

Typical stupid, greedy American. You are offended because you did not see the ending that would satisfy your gluttonous American desires to own everything and leave nothing for everyone else.

You want all the lungs for yourselves. Well, you can not have them.

Soon we will come for YOUR lungs! What do you think about that?

"Typical stupid, greedy American."

Okay, here comes the cliche American hater....

"You want all the lungs for yourselves. Well, you can not have them."

Oh, well, at least THAT's a new accusation.

LMAO.

At that moment he realized that there was no hope. If he had went along with he would never be able live with himself. Child may of been stranger but what right did he truly have to trade his for his daughter.

TERRIERS R.I.P.

*beep* Just cos the endings wasn't all US Disney you slate it. I loved the ending.

Wait, so for him to have allowed the murder of an innocent child to save his daughter (from dying a natural death by disease) would be less offensive to you? WTF is going on in this world when people actually think like this???

The original poster who started this thread has issues, indeed. Im the best dad in the world, or so say my kids....I would do anything for my girls(within reason) but I would never and I mean never feel good about myself if I was in that same position and said, "yea, go on and kill that boy to save my daughter". No one in their right mind, any man with morals anyway, would have made the decision to end that boys life for their own daughter. I thought the movie was fantastic. We got to see the lengths a father will go for his child and we also got to see that no matter what, there is a line you cannot cross regardless of the things that may follow that decision. The original Poster either lacks empathy or he is a sociopath.

I never said it was a happy decision to make, of COURSE its awful!
But you're telling me that you're only child is about to die, and she can
be saved, and you are going to say..naaaa she can die. I couldn't live with myself
if that other stranger kid would die instead.
Of course if the dad knew in ADVANCE that they would have to kill the stranger he would probably say no..
but the act had already taken place.

BS if you would say..naaa put the organ BACK INTO the stranger rather than save ur kid.

It's not that I think he made a bad choice to save the boy. It's that he was so naive as to not think "Gee, I wonder where these lungs will come from when I demand that they show up tomorrow?" It took him the whole movie to figure this one out? Really?

And, no, it's not just a movie- it does happen all over the world. And it's not just "filthy" Americans buying organs. But none here has asked the question, should we sell organs, euthanize for organs? Obviously people here are ok with killing for them... but it is a dead board so no none will write back. Too bad.

Ladies and Gentlemen take my advice
Pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

I can't believe what I am hearing. Are you saying that killing a healthy kid is the moral thing to do to save your child?? A friend of mine had a child die young of a terminal illness and at no point did he ever think of killing Mexican kids and ripping out their organs. He grieved and suffered but found the strength to move forward. Everything happens for a reason and I truly believe that people can overcome anything in life. There are people who voluntary donate their kidneys at great cost to themselves to help others live and they have parents. There are people who go to war and die in the process. Should their parents stop them?? Maybe, maybe not but that is part of life. Death is not avoidable and everybody and their kids will die and that is no excuse for killing poor children in such a horrific manner as we saw in this movie. The father realized how horrible he acted and yes he put his daughter in a horrible situation but he made the RIGHT decision. Should we let parents bribe college administrators to get their kids into colleges over mor deserving kids or get a spot on a sports team?? NO. Life is not always fair but its just how it goes. MY Father died when I was a child only 5 years old. It was a painful experience but I had to move forward and that is what this father has to do.

It's always easier to say when you're only an onlooker.
If I was him I'll choose my own daughter without second thought.
From his superior moral standard, he shouldn't paid bloody money exchange
other people's life at the first place, volunteer organ donator won't pop up on demand everyday.
It always cost somebody's life.
It's not saying I've no sympathy for that poor Mexican boy.
He's severely wounded, looks beyond remedy, it seems Paul couldn't save him in the end,
so why didn't him took the lung to save his own daughter?
Yeah, it's robbery, rich man deprive life of poor child,
he's made mistake at the beginning, if the boy wouldn't survive why didn't he tried to save his own?
Btw, only child is gone, hatred from wife inevitably end his marriage too,
He'd better choose to save his daughter but live in guilty for the rest of his life,
instead of being the biggest loser.

[–] faraseen 11 years ago

I think that the father had the realization of what he was doing too late. To let it unfold the way it did was absurd. The best thing to do for the father would have been to spend time with his daughter rather than search for poor Mexicans to kill for their organs. This is a disgusting practice and sadly it really happens and needs to be stopped.

[–] girl7th 11 years ago

Part of me can relate to your opinion, what if it's meant to be,
one can only accept ill-fated peacefully.
Otherwise there's no need to make this film,
its subtitle " Run For Her Life " as long as tiny hope exists,
find an organ donor for his daughter hopefully it's legal.

I would have cut them out myself to save my daughter.
