Ending...

That would have been a bit verbose for the characters in the film, don't you think?

I would have preferred an additional scene before the last one, too, but it would have likely just consisted of Sieger and Marc looking at each other and starting to smile.

Dialogue is not always spoken because our actions and expressions can speak louder. I would've liked just an extra scene where Siege arrives with his motorcycle and just stares at Mark, they both awkwardly laugh and that's it, the music starts to play Marc hops on the motorcyle and they leave.

In my mind it would go something like this:


Sieger descends the bike in front of Marc's house and sees Marc with his family in front enjoying some popsicles. S approaches looking a bit nervous but determined.

Marc notices him coming towards them. Stands up to meet S.

S: "I know what I want..." (looks directly at Marc with yearning and decisiveness)

The two exchange looks. Then we got the motorbiking ending part.


There you go...

Watched this for the first time last night. It was a good ending but I agree with the original poster. It would just have been nice to just see some kind of re-union between the two characters before they ride away together.

Sadly then "what changed?", "I did" dialogue has already been used in Shelter.

Great movie though

if they went separate ways that would have been a sad ending

Absolutely agree with lysander-7. It ended perfectly. The imagined dialogue above would have been too cheesy and on-the-nose. You don't necessarily need a lot of words to communicate how you're feeling. And we don't really need to see more of it here. We get the picture.

Thats an interesting take on the ending. Never thought of that one. From the comments people are making I just get the feeling that as viewers many of them (me included) just hoped for a little more than we were actually given.

People also seem to be concerned that a resolution between the 2 characters would be too long or dialogue heavy. It could have easily been resolved with little of no dialogue. If I may become a writer for a moment this is how I would have done it.

Sieger drives off on the motorbike

The Music starts.

Mark is somewhere (location not that important), its getting dark. The light of the motorbike lights his face. We see Sieger looking regretful. Mark walks over to him, they look at each other for a few moments, then they hug. Or maybe Sieger actively goes to kiss mark without holding back this time.

Bit cheesy perhaps, but job done.

I thought this was a possibility too...but I think it is real because they are on the motorbike and not the bicycle. If it was his memory they would have been on the bicycle in the final scene but you never see Sieg even ride a motorbike until that final scene. Kindof my simplistic reasoning but who knows; I guess I also just want so badly for it to be real.

And from a plot/character development standpoint, Since Sieg finally and confidently goes after what he wants, an actual riding off together would be a wonderful conclusion to the story
