The mystery man (spoiler)


The movie never outright says it, but I suspect that guy that caught them first and then left was planning on comitting suicide.

I thought he went up there to jump. The way he walked was so dejected, even the look on his face, the slump of his shoulders. He seemed very depressed. And I think the shock of seeing two other people up there woke him up and made him rethink his decision.

I just watched it again, and judging by the way he was peering over the edge and also that he was unwilling to engage in conversation, I think you are right.

Perhaps the man was a terrorist, doing some early planning as to how to best bring down these new symbols of capitalism. Obviously he could not contact the authorities, given his ties to Bin Laden (who was still a young man at the time).

That terrorist theory doesn't make any sense. Why would he be up there 19 years before the 1993 truck bombing?

When in doubt **** off

It's amazing how some people can be so totally oblivious to jokes (not a very good one at that, but still obviously a joke)
