The Ending Was Very Sad...


when he's suffering from an allergic reaction and has flashbacks of the plane crashing. It was touching when he sat with that boy traveling alone before the impact happened.




The more I study it, the greater the puzzle becomes.

The ending was so powerful. Life affirming.

Yep! Strawberries help him connect with his family again.

That's what flashbacks are (people think past events are happening again in the present [they're not just experienced as {even very powerful} memories]).

Also it may be splitting hairs but I don't think he was in a real state of grace (unless the director was trying to communicate this message about spirituality); he was in a overwhelmingly numbed-condition.

(Not sure what you mean by a spiritual sacrifice in saving others, he did save others.)

Those werent flashbacks...

There we were, minding our own business, when kids started killing themselves all over my property.
