Final line?
When asked what she will call it, Mija replies "if it's a boy"
Or at least that what I thought she said.
What did she mean?

I think she meant she would call the baby Augustus, after the survivalist's brother. I guess that is why he told her the name just before he was caught.
I think she was the survivalist, as he died and was eaten!
shareIt was the guy that was the survivalist: living alone and making an art of the whole thing. Him dying at the end does not negate that. Note that the movie is called "The Survivalist", not "The Survivor".
shareYes the guy was the survivalist, at the end he knew he would 'continue' in his child, so he did all he could to save the girl.
So even though he died, he survives in her.
"Men on fire pray for rain"
It was never stated or implied, that he knew she was pregnant.
shareYes it was. Right after he told Mia of the story with his brother, they were both lying in bed. She then put his hand on her stomach and he looks at her in disbelief. The next scene is spent with him in the woods with his shotgun thinking hard. They very much implied he knew, though it was never explicitly stated.
shareI must have missed that. I'd watch it again but I didn't care for it enough.
shareYep. This is exactly what it means in my opinion. The man told her his brother's name as he knew he was about to die, and she would name her son Augustus in memorium (albeit, more in the memory of her lover who saved her life than the lover's brother).
shareShe was asked, "Do you know what you'll name it?"
And she answered, "if it's a boy"
Meaning she knows the name for a boy, but not for a girl.
I agree that's what she meant but the wording of the line is weird. Shouldn't it be "I DO if it's a boy". I can see how someone could think it meant she would keep it if its a boy and not if its a girl but nothing in the film supports that.
shareI am pretty sure what she meant is that she would name the baby after the father because loved him.
shareI think it meant that she would kill it if it was a girl.
