How did Amadeu meet his end?


I felt that there was some ambiguity in how Amadeu died, based on the comment Jorge made to Estefania at
Amadeu's funeral, "You didn't really think I would do it did you?" Was Jorge hinting that he killed Amadeu? What meaning would you give to that comment?

reply

Mysteriously.

reply

Supposedly he died from a ruptured brain aneurysm. He had known he had the aneurysm for some time.

reply

Jorge seemed to have been referring to the episode when he pulled the gun on Amadeu and Estefania but didn't shoot.

reply

Yes, this

Despite all the talk of a cerebral aneurysm I thought that storyline was meant to add confusion on the nature of Amadeu's demise. It crossed my mind several times that he committed suicide just as his father and the act was so unmentionable that friends and family made up a different version of sorts. Jorge uttering "You didn't really think I would do it did you?" at the funeral was likely a plot device to add to the mystery.

When Estefania rejected him I felt he lost all hope. Amideu was Catholic and a physician. Able to make his self determined death seem natural for religious salvation while avoiding embarrassment to his survivors.

He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator.

"You didn't really think I would do it did you?"

No, he was referring to when he was about to shoot Stephania, in the car, nothing else.

I was quite happy to accept the in your face simplistic version ie he died of natural causes. Damn, now you have me thinking!

It's mentioned several times that he died of a brain aneurysm.

reply

Yes, but it's also possible that it was a cover-up, just like what happened with his father, because Catholics are not fond of suicides.
