Does anybody think he was... (spoilers)

Does anybody think he was... Christ. Nail in his arm, giving his forgiveness to those who asked, leaving the partying sinners behind, saving the girl with the cross around her neck.

That's what she wanted so no, and he definitly had second doubts about it... I kept thinking he shoulda just put the dead girls father in the backseat and take the girl with him but yeah then we wouldn't get the same powerful ending so it needed to be as it was...

Not so much at the end because she was set on staying. Plus, they would all be dead soon, so it didn't matter much anyway. But I do think he was a douche for leaving her on her own at the party with a bunch of deranged, coked-up hedonists. She was lucky the only thing that got slipped to her was a little ecstasy.

I'm wondering why he left his Mom alone. Didn't even ask her to come. I mean just at least ask. Then if she had insisted on staying alone, then hug, shed a tear and move on. Gee, Mom could have stayed behind with Rose, then neither would have died alone, and we'd wouldn't feel as sad for the little girl

Overall it would have been a messed up situation anyway after the car broke down. Rose wouldn't have been able to run as fast with him and he sure couldn't have carried her. Completely different ending.

Does it matter? Everyone dies.

Not really... Not completely...

It is absolutely sad that he leaves her but she has "released" him to pursue a higher task in being with a truly loved one, the mother of his never to be born child, at the end.

She (Rose) is there as witness and commentator to his misplaced desire to be in the flawed scenario of the Girlfriend and the Sodom and Gomorrah, end-times party.

She frames his dilemma by causing him to re-evaluate Zoe against Vicky.

She helps him to be re-evaluated by his mother relative to "what he's doing for her" (Rose).

She provides him the opportunity to see that it is not impossible for him to do what's right as well as openly face his fate.


Rose did so much for him - as he did for her - that it was almost natural and necessary for him to leave her in order to punctuate the relationship. Also, he capitalizes on the finding of a better him in supporting another gal in desperate need of him "standing up".
