Ending? (SPOILER!!)
Can someone explain what Harrison Ford's character did with michelles body at the end? Is the film implying that he'd put it in the garbage truck that goes off up the road?
shareYou deserve an LOL for that. :)
shareWell yeah I expect to be ridiculed for my comment but where did he carry her? Just a simple explantion would do to stop my vivid imagination getting carried away! I suppose a more plausible explantion is that time has moved on a couple of hours and Harrison Ford is in the car having checked out of the hotel, its just that the camera lingers on the garbage truck a couple of times and I took it to be symbolic in some way - like I say I have a vivid imagination!! I think the way the camera lingered on the garbage truck reminded me of Once Upon A Time in America's ending and the implications that had, but hey ho feel free to LOL if you must!
shareThere's a shot of a garbage truck somewhere around the beginning of the movie, so I think that it links up to that.

He probably dropped her off at a hospital or went to a police station.
As for the garbage truck shot, well:
- the meet took place in the early hours of the morning. Garbage trucks pick up the trash in the early morning - at least where I live ... the shot is to set the time.
- it could symbolise cleansing
- it could symbolise the waste (bad pun) of Michelle's life ... people going about their jobs oblivious when someone good has died

There is another message on the board about the symbolic and (possible) meanings of the garbage trucks "bookends" sequences, go check it out! It's interesting.
