Why should anyone have anything but utter contempt for your message?
Seriously. You're too much of a moral coward to watch the film but are desperate to know if the fictional character, Wolfgang, survives?
Well, he doesn't. I don't say that to hurt your feelings, I call you a moral coward to hurt your feelings. I also won't say that Wolfgang's death in the personage of real-life victims like him are YOUR FAULT simply to hurt your feelings. I will simply say that is a fact.
We live in a morally bankrupt culture where "happy endings" in films are preferable to dealing with harsh realities of "unhappy endings" or even "somewhat ambiguous endings" such as the one most likely portrayed herein.
Michael kept Wolfgang prisoner, subject to his whims and his ability to "care" for him. When Michael died, much like when he was hit by the car, we should have realized this placed Wolfgang in peril. He was Michael's dependent, though not the kind you can write-off on your taxes.
This is analogous to the problem many countries have with their treatment of sex offenders and other criminals. The people whose job it is to run a prison or treatment facility for criminal offenders have a duty to provide the greatest care for their charges, otherwise, the sentence offenders receive is compounded by the possibility of neglect and death at the hands of people who do not take their jobs seriously.
To say you cannot "stand the subject" is interesting. To "stand" can be seen as "stand up for", meaning advocate on behalf of the victims of such cruelty, as I and others in this forum have. But what in the WORLD business do you have even having a passing curiosity about "what happens" to the victim if you don't even know what happens when he is alive?
Michael, who was a piece of trash for imprisoning Wolfgang in the first place, not to mention the implied sexual slavery aspect, died indirectly as a result of his own actions, at the hands of his victim. This is a form of "justice" you could have enjoyed.
Wolfgang died indirectly as a result of his own actions, but in doing so won a kind of victory, both in Michael's death and in the fact that his parents would likely have "closure" in knowing, as you wanted to know, "what happened" to their son.
You don't really deserve to know these things, until you "stand" to watch it, but if by knowing this your perfect little fantasy world is upset enough to encourage you to learn about the world and do something to make it a better place, I'm happy to upset you.
