What's the significance of the three tombstones?


At the end of the movie,when Hank and Leticia are sitting on the porch, it cuts to a scene showing three tombstones. One of the graves was for Sonny, who were the other two for?

Are we to assume it was for Hank himself and his father? And what is the significance of that?!

reply

Hank's wife had also commit suicide and so did his mother.

Yep clearly his mother, wife and son. Had no idea that the first two also (according to whoever said it above) also committed suicide. If thats true then how harsh for Hank! One suicide in the family is bad enough but THREE?!

The wife for sure committed suicide. It said in the movie. I didn't hear that the grandmother did. The father was still alived. Tyrell would not have been buried there.

Grandmother unfortunately also committed suicide. It was confirmed in Hank's dad conversation about how his wife "quit" on him. I think his father was the reason so many people did this. He was a hateful man & treated everyone around him poorly, including Hank. And I don't think Hank ever really saw this until he did it to Leticia.

-Who is it?
-It's Grandpa. And it sounds like he's gotten into the horseradish again.
