SPOILER.

My question is about the last last scene, where Gon is criying.

This scene is the end of story (Gon survive and return to the sauna) or this scene is when Gon return to Korea and go to sauna to crying and in this point beging de movie ?

In others words Gon is alive or not ?

I wish the movie had ended with the shot of the elevator descending, that was a cool shot and reminded me of the end of Heat in a lot of ways. It is certainly the shot that sticks with me.

DAMN

I prefer the ending with the scene at the bathhouse, when Gon is a kid. I felt really bad for the kid. Great scene.

The director is letting you decide the end

He got shot point blank 3 times with a shotgun..

This ain't Hollywood, he's dead.

To save the woman and die by her hand was his redemption. Like he said, he was tired.

reply

Yes he is dead, died in the elevator as redemption for his sins.
The bathhouse scene was a flashback to when he first arrived in the hideout and reckognized it.

I found it touchging that his brother in arms hold his hand in the end.
He understood what Gon did and to not kill the woman.

Good movie

I don't think that the director was trying to leave it open whether Gon actually died or not. It seemed clear that he died in the elevator. The final scene showing him crying in the bathhouse is a tie in to an earlier scene, directly after the scene where the Lady tries to commit suicide and he reveals the story about his mother committing suicide. Directly from that scene Gon visits the bathhouse and creates a shrine for the girl that he killed on accident and he starts humming 'Danny Boy' while smoking a cigarette. In that scene the director plays with the lighting a little bit and Gon's Face is somewhat cloaked at times. Clearly he's having a moment of introspection and maybe even regret, but you don't see any signs on his face of visible conflict every time he takes a puff of the cigarette (bringing light to his face). I took it as being symbolic for the director trying to illustrate that he is emotionally disconnected. After all, they never show him upset even once, despite his clearly experiencing guilt on some level over the death of the girl. Anyway, that final scene takes place directly after the scene that I just described, in fact you can still see the cigarette smoke in the scene (presumably the same cigarette). I think it was the directors way of showing that he was still capable of being emotionally vulnerable. I also don't think that he was just crying for the girl, I think he was also coming to terms with what his mother did. It was a scene of emotional redemption. I felt like the scene was necessary, and I'm glad they ended the movie on it. Anyway, that's my opinion.
