1) Does anyone know what was on the head phones that made her so angry?
2) The ending. How did you understand it, were they just resolving to carry on some way some how? Or did you feel they were just giving up after one last harrah.
OK spoilers ahead:
When the power came back briefly, the first thing that Hannah did was go to put on a classical music CD. The look of relief and happiness on her face whilst listening to it was striking, as was her gloom when the power cut again. I think she was a classical musician herself and this was her life before the apocalypse. Jonathan bought her a rigged up battery operated stereo that she could play her music on again. What made her angry was that Jonathan was offering her something from her past life that she could never really experience properly again - "Something that I can't have".
As regards the ending, we can't know for sure. At this stage it was looking like they would have no chance of surviving the coming winter. They had only a handful of potatoes and hunting was not an option because the ammunition was running out. Jonathan spent a sleepless night thinking over their options and in the end decided to trade at least one of the shotguns to make Hannah happy for one night. The end was bittersweet because they resolved their relationship, so that all the other stuff, even surviving in the world was not as important. His last comment "It's over",I think signifies that they were going to commit suicide, perhaps using the pills that Katie left behind.
Spoilers down below:
It's an interesting point you made about the pills. I forgot about them but I'm not sure if they would have had enough pills between 2 people. IIRC and it's a while since I saw the film but Katie had the pills and Hannah took a few because she said you don't feel the hunger with sleeping pills.
People thought the film was boring but I didn't. It was made on a shoestring budget and I would have loved to see what happened the characters next.
Did Katie stay with the policeman? One reviewer wrote that she was "carted off to prostitution" but when I saw the movie I think the policeman who liked her was just giving her a lift. I don't think he was going to pimp her although she did have to give him favours to get any medication for her boyfriend Mark after he had been shot. I don't think she minded being with him though.
Did Jonathan and Hannah get help or did they starve? The last scene I remember is they went down to the village and lit fires I presume to attract motorists.
If I had been Hannah I would have left Jon. I wouldn't have forgiven him for cheating. He was a bast*rd the way he cheated on his friend as well.
I thought the film was very good in that it showed a complete breakdown between supposedly civilised people and the lengths they are prepared to go to in order to survive. The police force fell apart very quickly.
