Note: This clip is from a version of the film dubbed in French. My first reaction to the ending was Soo is dead and all is in Young's head (because I'm a sucker for apparently, the traditional melodrama ending - I've been so out of it, I didn't know open ending or happy ending is an option!). ;), Which means Soo must be alive, too. You could drive a truck through them. I'm confused with the ending. This implies that the rapacious, virus-like behavior of oil-seeking humans has resurrected the 'ghosts' of the fossil-fuels being siphoned out of the ground. The ending of The Last of Us is sufficiently simple for anyone looking carefully, yet deeply complex for anyone wishing to delve into the psychological complexity behind And the "softy" villain wasn't so much a softy as an audience fave. For the most part, the drama did follow its story logic and the characters it created. I loved that. Who, out of the two of them, showed more human compassion? I got tired of the cons, of the directing, of the music. Is he a chef and a painter at the end of the show?! I'll bet Young cut the short way across her arm too, rather than the long way, which would again be what you would do if you actually wanted to die. - I really praised the writer for having this kind of story. On a shallow note, I loved most of OS's wardrobe, especially the orange coat he wore at the beginning of this episode, it looked good on him. I can see just enough to see that youre very good looking, she adds. Jin-sung tells Boss Man that all the winnings are his in order to pay Soos debt, but Boss Man has another plan he knows where Jin-sungs family is, which is already a threat in and of itself. Granted, some things started to not make sense towards the end, but NOTHING about this show makes me think the director or writer became lazy and gave up along the way. The white apparitions can be interpreted different ways. Make it confuse and let us choose the ending we want. He looked dead, but it's possible he just went into shock (I mean his best friend just stabbed him--I would be shocked as hell!). I really wanted to completely love this show and I did especially the the first third of the drama but the show just started going downhill for me in the last three episodes. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. (hahah). Jin-sung spots him while on his way to the hospital and starts to piggyback him the rest of the way, even though Moo-chuls already got one foot in the other world as he mumbles, Just leave me be, Jin-sung doesnt give up, until he feels Moo-chul go limp on his back. [10] Dennis Harvey of Variety called it "an imperfect but compelling thriller" that returns to Fessenden's interest in character dynamics, atmosphere, and offbeat narrative ideas rather than genre cliches. It was almost as if there were no real repercussions to her actions, except for some of the company's stocks she lost (I think) and the fact that she was homeless for a few weeks (I am assuming)? Happy waiting for the next trip everyone. But then she adds that if she lives through her surgery, theyll meet again, and finally talk out their issues. I enjoyed the feisty and whiplash smart Young in the beginning of the show and then her character just went downhill with the suicide attempt. She finds the Braille letter Soo left her directing her to watch the video. (Seriously though. Love it! No, I actually think it is genuinely impressive. Yippee, a happy ending! That broke from story-logic and build up for me. Yeah, my first but not fake. Not Soo asks her if she cant see, and she responds by asking if hes ever met a blind person. I'm in dramaland and i want the happy ending of course. I wanted to say "Congrats on getting past that time in your life!" But after actually watching it, I'm 100% sure they're both alive. I thought Soo died. There is something under the melting ice is it nature taking revenge on man, is it ghosts, is it just the paranoia of the crew turning on each other or is it seeping gas from the ground causing hallucinations like the ecological adviser of the team suspects?? Abby stumbles upon the scene and, in an altercation with Dawn, pushes her over a shelf, causing Dawn to fall and break her neck. This drama ranks highest on my melo-meter since the only others I've seen are Nice Guy and I Miss You. The site's consensus reads: "The Last Winter creatively and effectively uses horror tactics fear, tension, anticipation, and just enough gore to shock, but never repulse, its audience. Im glad he grew as a person, but since when did Growth = Passivity? I decided not to count Youngs full head of hair as part of the equation since I considered it a vanity issue, despite the fact that brain surgery and long-term chemotherapy should produce some visible, physical effects. A news anchorman is broadcasting over a television in the waiting room about natural disasters occurring nationwide. Aka, back off. We know it isn't going to last forever. Also, um. You just get some themes thrown in that never were mentioned before (so what are the childhood pictures supposed to mean and why was the strange box introduced into the plot heavily in the beginning to be dropped off in the end) plus a totally open and disappointing ending that I had the impression to have seen more than once before. Blurry happy ending scenes are so cliche. Unfortunately, while they were running away, I was also wondering, why shouldn't have JS hanged up on HS? Eventually they did and she gave up and died. Also, I have to agree that the pace of the finale felt waaaay off. I think the whole flower thing is to amend for stabbing Oh Soo. He has, because he loved a girl who was blind. Lawyer Jang finds Secretary Wang in the countryside, where she watches her elderly parents from afar. It's a well crafted tale reminiscent of The Twilight Zone and with hints of Lovecraft, but also mostly steeped in reality with good use of psychology and paranoia like John Carpenter's The Thing. The suicide, totally understandable for a person as emotionally damaged as she was who thinks she's been abandoned and betrayed by everything AND thinks she's going to die painfully anyway. Did the CCTV goons end up getting him because his promise, in a sense, broke (to let Soo & Jin Sung go unscathed)? They eventually decide on lambs ear, because that was the plant special to him and Young. This leads Abby to open a nearby door, to find a hospital team member hanging still from the ceiling. I was engaged for the whole movie. argh~). Sure, we can theorize that Soos stabbing somehow put the kibosh on his burning desire to be there for Young during her surgery and chemotherapy, because its totally fine to let a suicidal person depending on you assume youre dead. Ten years earlier a test well had been drilled and what it found was kept secret. I love you.. Some people reasoned that the blurry scenes are from Young's perspective, but these blurry scenes seem to occur only around Oh Soo. Fessenden introduces North Corporation, a government-backed oil research and building team, working under the watchful eye of two environmental experts. Her secretly hoping that Oh Soo would burst in and save her makes sense (the only thing that made sense in this episode). (the way to end the show?) Though I did see the charm the actor brought to the role that was a little too fan-servicey for me. It grossed another $64,332 internationally, for a worldwide total of $97,522. ***SPOILERS*** In an effort to become energy independent the US Government contracts a major drilling company to come up with a plan to drill, and pump out, the massive oil reserves in the pristine and untouched, by human hands, wilderness in the Northern Alaska permafrost. I loved how Kim Bum's character broke out of his loyalty and had that crazed, red rimmed look after he stabbed Oh Soobut then..wha.? If it was a "porn" movie it wouldn't get nearly as much critical acclaim as it did. Whether it really hurt you as much as it hurt me when you were lying. Please click the link in that email to complete the email change process. Or something? Thank you to the commenters, too. Soo holds Jin-sungs face for as long as he can, and the two stare wordlessly at each other until Soo cant hold himself up any longer. In these final moments of The Last Winter, Fessenden effectively emphasizes the very real horrors of environmental destruction, bound to leave the stench of death in the And where you buried my brother, or which river you spread his ashes at. A lot happened in The Last of Us, and players can probably expect the story in TLOU2 to be even more suspenseful and compelling (especially if Ellie finds out Joel was lying) when it releases on June 19, 2020. [4] LeGros and Britton are actors that Fessenden enjoys, and he wanted to give them starring roles. Hmm .. If anything, the aftermath made the attempt seem like a cry for attention at best, and a test of Soos loyalty at worst. Just Abby in an open room. Also when heesun and jinsung said they would bring flowers to soothe way it sounded in korean was like they were visiting his grave as hes not around longer rather than visiting a live person to give him flowers. At one point or the other, I kept viewing as some kind of Stockholm Syndrome on Young's end, the way she just also seemed to care for Wang even though what she did was horrible. Maybe they are all waiting for Moo chul to show up. It's a remake so obviously the framework will be the same as the original. [4] The idea of stranding two people with radically different outlooks was subsequently incorporated into the film's ending. Like you, I didn't understand why she couldn't have that conversation with OS when she was having her tea and he was there (right there), and she had already shared her questions with him.

Independent environmentalists work together in a drilling base headed by the tough Ed Pollack (Ron Perlman) in a sort of agreement with the government, approving procedures and sending reports of the operation. We could care less what's being done to the Earth, our atmosphere or our fellow man as long as we have reasonably priced gas to fuel our vehicles. I didn't watch this show but I read every recaps on it. Sure the show wasn't perfect but it did give us a happy ending which both characters deserved. My big plot-hole question is why didnt Pollack and Hoffman get the dead truckers boot to replace the one lost in the ice river? They talked about making Jin-sung betray his friend, but the way they chose to do it didn't make any sense whatsoever. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; )that none of them are truly connected to whats actually happening. I gave it maximum patience for over an hour, than started fast forwarding hoping for a climax that never came. Honestly, after having long hair for so long and not being able to see it, probably one of the first things I would do is buy a wigif only just to see how I looked all that time. Super evaluation! So much attention has been put into every character's emotions, and perhaps it was that which made the last couple of episodes lacking in spunk. Bravo to the whole cast, and especially to the dreamy Zo in Sung. About the ending, while watching the last episode, i really had the impression oh soo died. I've watched it happen in quite a few dramas. I said above, that I hoped for a more straightforward ending bu that I'll take this, too. One can argue it was a reference of Young's brother but I feel it was a reference they are bringing lamb's ears for both Soo and Young as she most likely died the same day as Soo in surgery and the flowers would be a way to remember them both Soo is alive. The drama in it's entirety may not have been as solid as it's looks, but I for sure will not deny them. It is so illogical and stupid, it is almost a sort of evil in itself. I don't blame people for being suspicious though. And if somehow the show fails to root a characters emotions and reactions in some form of universal logic, then in the words of Cool Hand Luke, What weve got here is a failure to communicate.. And the wind finally stopped blowing! But for some unknown reason, we refuse to move forward. He kept his con going for a lot, lot longer. As with all isolation movies, there is a profound sense of eeriness, and there are particular things (such as the box from the previous expedition, and a strange log book) which, I thought, were going to be good set ups for more mystery further on in the story. Really? Once again, this site's viewers got it all wrong. The Last of Us takes place in the year 2023, two decades after a zombie-like fungus destroys human civilization. He acted very well there, too. Even though I love Soo, the constant surprise-knifing is becoming its own parody at this point. The sense of being out in the snow, building tension and sense of dread was totally captured. Unending character development and "deeply meaningful" conversation pegged this movie closer to a drama than anything else. i'm a great fan of head's writing superpowers. Even if you didnt take the money, it wont bring everything back to the way it was.. So that combined with JS having to suffer watching hee Sun run thru flirtations equals he's paying his betrayal dues so hello they are dead too. Until 2/3rds into the movie I really loved it and was waiting for something to drop the curtain for applause. I still think this would have made for a interesting -if somehow predictable- conflict. This is one drama that defies logic. Soo nearly drops in relief when he finds Young, even as she emotionlessly tells him shes hungry. Its a crushingly oppressive movie that should make you feel uneasy. If either Jin Sung, Soo, or Young died, TWTWB would've just left a bitter taste in my mouth and a whole summer of heartache. Also, when OY did that (push back when she would ask questions to OS), it reminded me some of Faith, when CY told the doctor that he would ask her later to stay with him and get her answer then.
