I read the books, so I knew what was supposed to happen. But for those of you who haven't, did you realize the ending was Cathy dying in the attic?
I rewatched a few times, but to me it looks like she is just closing her eyes to reminisce. In the book however, it was beyond clear that she died up there of a broken heart.
Opinions?

I actually think it's better that it was unclear. I always thought it was kinda dumb in the books that she just
suddenly died for no reason.
to me it was very clear from Cathy's own monologue in the end, if people actually pay close attention to what she actually said at the end of the movie, it was quite clear that she went up to the attic to die.
In both the book and movie, she died of a broken heart after losing Chris, hence she died of a form of heart failure or cardiac arrest...it does happen quite often, people can suddenly die from any form of heart failure.
Yes, I didn't think otherwise. I thought it was clear that her heart was broken and the only reason she would go back to the attic is to die there.
I didn't know if she was imagining the flowers being there, or if she put them there... I suppose she was imagining haha. That was my only (dumb) question.
It was very clear from everything she was saying in the voiceover. So, yeah I knew she was gonna die or at least kill herself.
shareI must not have been listening close enough. It wasn't clear to me at all.
shareI knew she died, but only because of the books. It wasn't so clear in the movie.
