the last winter ending explained

Its a crushingly oppressive movie that should make you feel uneasy. They could have done the movie with only half of them. Unfortunately, the flash-forward in the 1883 premiere episode was not a dream or a hallucination. The scenes are blurry because that's how Young sees the world now. They promised that they will be seeing each other again. The art part is just an excuse for porn. I liked that Young's character stayed true to form for someone in her precarious situation. Soo stays vigilant at Youngs bedside until she wakes and realizes hes there with her. I haven't seen NHK's previous works, so thanks for sharing your insightful thoughts. A flash of tile on the cold-looking hospital floor, bare. I think part of the problem lies with how the show quickly glossed over Jin Sung's dilemma and there were also no explanations on how Soo all of a sudden is alive in the end. }; )that none of them are truly connected to whats actually happening. Just discovered him, and while I do agree he did well in A frozen flower, his movie that I loved him the most is A dirty carnival. This movie prompted me to write my first review. And there's no way the afterlife's that cruel. The next day, Maxwell is dispatched to check on one of the sites the drilling team is working on and mysteriously goes missing for most of the day. I love you.. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { I always see this movie labeled as "porn", but this is the perfect example of explaining that it isn't. And where you buried my brother, or which river you spread his ashes at. This technique was also used in "Secret Garden" What I am saying is Soo lived daily in Young's heart and mind and isolated world. This happy ending is what sealed this drama into my heart. And yeah, if you compare the movie ending, there were no people around. Many viewers will say that a happy ending does not excuse a drama from obvious plot holes, but I'll give TWTWB a pass. Young says that shes known his whereabouts for twenty days, since Secretary Wang waited to tell her until she finished her chemotherapy. It can't be heaven either, because they would've just MET each other. I really think they needed another episode to really work the ending right. Hoffman had refused to sign off on permission for heavy equipment to be brought in to help move drilling equipment due to potential damage to the tundra earlier in the film; Pollack and his boss, Foster, arrange for Hoffman to be replaced as a result. Except thenwhat was all that deal with Jin-sun about? Aka, back off. Me too Jo In Sung forever.I'm like Lee Min Who?hahaha. Why is everything so blurry? [4] Fessenden credited shooting some scenes in Alaska with adding authenticity to the film and further inspiring him to make changes to the script as he scouted locations. I missed the Soo whod scold Young in front of a mall crowd for not accepting help, or the one whod return a punch thrown at him. 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. What did NOT make sense was Jin-sung's betrayal. Her tears finally spill over as she stops the video, even though Video Soo seemed to have more to say. Ah, so maybe shes making plans for the future since she wants to have a future now. This is my third drama with this writer and it looks like she enjoys getting her characters to the lowest they can go (sickness, almost dying) and then having then come out unscathed and fine. Because a dead Soo wont give him any money, Boss Man has no choice but to try and win the pot to save himself from bankruptcy. That scene jump from cafe to that path lined with cherry blossom trees was so abrupt and strange, kind of like how it would happen in dreams. But to me what he did made sense for the character. Who, out of the two of them, showed more human compassion? I watched the last episode of Queen of Ambition yesterday. Young is not a character I will pretend to understand through and through, lol. Soo. Just read and look where Song was interviewed, she also concluded TWTWB was a happy ending story. Still, as good as the first episode of The Last of Us might be, the stakes skyrocket when the series explores Ellie ( Bella Ramsey) and her apparent immunity to the cordyceps. But I thought her extreme trust issues were well shown so I bought her character as a whole. Wang walking back in so easily into OY's life. I understand why he wouldnt take Youngs freely-offered money, but it made the entire con seem moot when he could have done this sort of one-gamble-to-rule-them-all from the beginning anyway. Im a huge fan of love me not - the movie, and for me, twtwb was the perfect adaptation, im sure no other producer could have made it better. Once again, this site's viewers got it all wrong. Young has a surprisingly full head of long hair a year after brain surgery, and everyone seems to be having a good time. It's not like she's an emotionally stable person thinking through exactly how this will effect the people around her. The focus is oddly blurry as she gets out of the taxi, and the sound of Soos bell charm reaches her ears as a man wearing it passes her on a bicycle. I am not sure I can bothered to understand anything from the last episode. Just Abby in an open room. Jin-sung seems to think so as he stops running and starts crying, with Moo-chuls minion nearby to share in the grief. Otherwise she's hanging out in the afterlife with her ex-fiance. If Soo survived the knifing old baddie would had everyone killed. I guess that is what fake-outs are for). Thank you to the commenters, too. And not just one or two per drama, but a whole cast full of them. cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access And if we could all remember the statement of the too "Its not over between us""if we meet again" bla, bla .Oh young said. I still think he did die, so im kinda surprise how many people think he lived. I didn't think about it that way when watching the final scene so i believed they both died. Whether it really hurt you as much as it hurt me when you were lying. Over all, I do think rather than a "happy ending" it was more like a "believe what you want" ending. What a waste! And most of us realize that some time in the near future we are going to have to adapt to using an alternate fuel source whether we like it or not. Here it just doesn't compute. Depending on a viewer's experience the way the drama is seen will be different. I even watched the rerun on the weekends. It's a remake so obviously the framework will be the same as the original. But the scenes with Lawyer Jang and all of them wasn't from her perspective. I think soo is alive:) eith regards to yhe "blurred" background.. i noticed that too yet i understand it this way :) young can't see clearly.. shes not totally blind, the background is actually her vision (that's my take) the first time she saw soo after a year when he was on his bike i noticed it's blurred so i thought maybe it was young's vision and i confirmed it when young visited yhe restaurant she cant see him that clear but she can see him :). Admittedly, I am not a consistent person. This was later mixed with and refined by other ideas that involved the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and global warming. This doesn't change the fact though that this show was sooooo purttty. I need you next to me. This place is weird: Jim Hensons Liminal Films for Children and Adults. I waited until you would talk to me., I couldnt bring myself to do it, Soo says with a sheepish smile. This place is weird: Jim Hensons Liminal Films for Children and Adults. It's so dang pretty to look at that I almost forget that it doesn't make sense. Because I could relate to Oh Young's character. Which brings another question: what happened then to the money OS won (since he left it there and he was knifed/left for dead later)? :). [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. But in true drama fashion, we know Soos cards must be the winning ones, and Jin-sung knows as well since Soo just leaves him there. 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. [7] The U.S. cable channel IFC had been supportive of Fessenden's career and often played his films. Jin-sung readies to stab his best friend again, but he cant bring himself to do it and drops the knife. (Even Wang's redemption arc, though not something I agree with, was well supported within the story -- it didn't come out of nowhere.). I think that is what the writer ment. The bit with Secretary Wang is so, so weird. I know what youre saying: Heads, thats crazy talk! Trust me, I know. It seemed like the restaurant was Soo's because he told her he actually wanted to cook because Jin Sung and Hee Sun both like his cooking. I understand almost perfectly the desperation to trust / love someone, feel that if I can end this life - maybe I'll find peace, feel that selfishness because I always have to do and settle things all by myself. The performances were good with the exception of Ron Perlman who just needed to tone it down a hair. I guess I cant begrudge a character for not being selfless, so Ill boil it down simply: No matter her deep-seated issues, Young didnt make for an enjoyable heroine. AVOID IT ! These last few episodes were off and did not match up to the earlier episodes. Bravo to the whole cast, and especially to the dreamy Zo in Sung. No, she responds, and we see through Youngs eyes first its a blur of color, then light. By no means does that make the show terrible or the journey not worth taking, but theres that feeling of What Could Have Been, even though that feeling got tempered by all the pretty people and all the pretty cinematography. SHK, you are being kissed by JIS! I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to say about this one. It's loaded with so much promise - a cast of engaging characters; a bleak, isolated setting; slow-burn direction that builds a creepy atmosphere. 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. My theory is they were Earths own nature spirits emerging as we humans have finally destroyed the balance which allows life to exist. I'm probably more content with the ending than I should be but drama I love you so much <3 So I finally understand why Young committed suicide last episode, with faith that Soo would save her from death. Third, I agree with Ashely above in that Sung's relationship had soured (three suiters?) 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? The white apparitions can be interpreted different ways. Still, I'm glad that none of the main characters died. My biggest gripe is the directing of this show. If anything, the aftermath made the attempt seem like a cry for attention at best, and a test of Soos loyalty at worst. It was supposed to have been the test drill for opening up the ANWR to oil exploration, so maybe meaningful symbolically more than a real thing. Which is why I'm so happy Soo lived. Even then it wouldnt matter, since Boss Man wanted him dead, but why? Some of my questions might seem superficial, however I wish things had been made clear for us :-(. Her scene at the coffee shop was too prosaic. It will probably take how many months before the eyesight will go back to normal condition. Maybe this is how she sees redemption or growth. Why did he have to go stab Soo? The scenario with the child and sec wang of course was only a part of the scne that it should be clear. I honestly couldn't watch Jin Sung in that final scene on the tractor, I was so angry with him still. We don't know but I didn't care because the atmosphere, music and beautiful pictures of the white nothingness are just too gripping. When I slit my wrist, I looked forward to you opening my door instead of feeling scared. Only when hes out does he call Secretary Wang to ask her to return, because hell feel more at ease if shes there to take care of Young. While she was in the taxi she felt the wind rushing throught the trees, thats why she told the taxi driver to stop the car, she wanted to walk because she wanted to feel the breeze. I sometimes miss some of those, and I appreciate when those are pointed out to me. A remote drilling station with company employees waiting things out. All content Brattle Film Foundation and the respective contributors unless otherwise noted. Still, as good as the first episode of The Last of Us might be, the stakes skyrocket when the series explores Ellie ( Bella Ramsey) and her apparent immunity to the cordyceps. That problem didnt exist as much with Soo, though these past few episodes didnt do him a ton of favors. Such is the basis for Last Winter. }; If not, theyll call the cops. I also had a hard time with Sec. Or they could be alive and the memorial was for brother Soo. Well, Young must be alive. Maybe he felt like a cornered mouse or panicked. Something that I disagree with Heads here is about the suicidal tendency of OY, in some of her recaps she said that she thinks OY has already get over it. My take: Soo died. Things arent looking good for Soo in the game, as Boss Man starts laughing as he turns over his cards. The Last Of Us Episode 1: Ending Explained Why Is Ellie Important To The Fireflies? According to Secretary Wang, Soo started there six months ago. These flowers symbolize happines, wedding, and love. If they were close enough to a village to fire a flare and for it to be readily seen, why didn't they go over to it? Same here. She got the call from Jin-sung while she was on her way to treat Young. It looked blurry because Young's sight wasn't perfect, but just enough for her to make things out. I so needed this recap to make sense of the endingare they both alive and getting a chance at love? I hate unreasonable story, because it messes my head. This final episode left me confused and with a sense of "this was it?" Eventually he collapses as the bell bracelet chimes, beginning to spasm in his death throes. 2. Because she chatted and interacted with him. I dunno ! Soo keeps an eye on his watch, knowing time is of the essence. Is this another instance of Drama Syndrome, where characters would rather undergo pain and irreparable harm than do something logical? She lost her mom, brother and though secretary wang is there, she is controlling OY. 5. I won't try to understand that, just feel like many dramas have this thing with making even some of the foulest people redeemable or sympathetic in cases in which the person has a child or takes care of a child. By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. To be honest, I was relieved when you wrote that you felt conflicted about the finale and the last few episodes. I cant understand how you couldnt even make an excuse. They are all living in the same Alaskan base-camp, the builders trying to complete their oil construction project, and the environmentalists trying to prevent disaster. It'll fit, but it's not exactly neat. I think she is still smart, just that depression--or drama depression, even--doesn't care about smartness. If i were Jin Sung, i would twist the situation turning the knife closer to the Boss Man's neck asking for his Family's safety in return!!! The story of The Last of Us begins in the suburbs of Austin, Texas, where the main character Joel Miller lives with his daughter Sarah as a dangerous epidemic of the mutated Cordyceps fungus begins to affect the United States. Thank you for your recap and I totally agree with your comments! I dont understand why this conversation cant happen now. The Last Rite Ending, Explained Lucys parents put too much faith in her in childhood. Youngs eyes begin to fill with tears as Soo pours his heart out in the video, saying how much he wanted to tell her when he first fell in love with her and how beautiful she was, and how much her real brother loved her. Instead of looking so desolate, its now been painted with blooming flowers on the branches. It's not completely original, mind you. Had Soo survived, there was no way, the gangster boss, Kim, would have let Jingsung lived happily. 3. !and more importantly they are both happy. !good point haha. This ambiguous ending reminds me of "Ironweed" by William Kennedy. What a sad waste of talent. (Seriously! I don't think he's a chef, but I do think he owns some kind of restaurant. Secretary Wang and Young have a heart to heart as Wang tells her that even after the surgery, Young wont be able to live alone not because shes handicapped, but because no one can do anything alone. Secondly, the blurriness, the bike, the cafe, and the final cherry blossom scene is played in Young's mind. I made the mistake to watch Frozen flower since everybody was talking about it. sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna. 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. Yippee, a happy ending! =), We actually see the flowers Hee-sun talked about on the table, so they were for our Soo. The game amps up as Jin-sungs family loads the truck to move though theyre being watched by a shady-lookin dude. What else could he have done? There was realism to that. :). Watching that drama made me want to be sure not to take any of my loved ones for granted, to look for the good in each person, and to sing Kumbaya (just kidding). Could you please make sense? One particular part of the ending that was outlined for him by Team Jordan was the fate of Rand alThor, the Dragon Reborn. The script for the film originally featured a more woodsy Alaska with pine trees and it was after a research trip to Prudhoe Bay that they discovered the harsh flat conditions that ultimately ended up in the film.[3]. I have given more time to this review than the movie is worth. The Last Winter is an eco-supernatural horror film about oil workers in the Arctic who are stalked by a vengeful spirit determined to keep them from exploiting the oil. I agree with you on the ending.The blurriness of the scene was to depict Young's perspective.After surgery her vision is most likely not going to be perfect thus there is a blurriness in her vision.Furthermore, Song Hye Kyo and Jo In Sung stated in their interviews that it was indeed a happy ending.They actually knew from the start that it would be happy ending since Writer Noh that it would be one.So hopefully everyone is no longer confused about the ending being sad or an open one. Nor are the ladies & gentlemen of the castle as aristocratic as they believe they are. But since it didn't really do anything anyway I just push it from my mind and enjoy what's left. I'm in dramaland and i want the happy ending of course. It was a pretty ride that just got weird and choppy and bumpy the last four episodes. When I watched the ending, I was really angry at first, because I felt that I had been totally manipulated to create some sort of artsy-fartsy ambiguous ending, logic, story flow, and characterization be damned. Can she see? I think they are dead. I've never really understood why the concept of environmentalism rubs so many out there the wrong way, especially when it concerns the search for oil. A passenger plane then crashes near them, causing their vehicle to get caught in the explosion. That said I think it lost me in episode 12 or 13 with Young's funky character development and the insane troll logic medical stuff. And then i realized, she was only recuperating possibly and thus through her eyes, things are still blurry. The audience has already come to learn that there is nothing beyond this point. Ron Perlman and Connie Britton were the only ones acting. The Last Of Us Episode 1: Ending Explained Why Is Ellie Important To The Fireflies? Photo: HBO. TWTWB, with its muted colors, its intensity 24/7 (made even more intense by all of the close-up shots), its one-dimensional side characters like batshit-crazy So Ra, its hard-to-read heroine, and its contrived plot full of holes, made TWTWB feel quite unreal which would've been fine had it come together as an inspired mythic tale. Safely smuggling Ellie out of the quarantine zone means more to Marlene and Kim than their own lives. Are they both dead and finally meeting in the afterlife? She doesnt want blindness to haunt Young any longer and cries that shes sorry, which Im guessing is finally an apology for causing her blindness in the first place. Five minutes before the ending: WHAT!? Since when did they promise to remove her brain tumor and restore her sight, considering that the two are unrelated? For taking the time to actually write it out or type it out in this case. But, on the other hand, how many times did we complain that some dramas never need extension and they just dragged toooooooooo damn long? I cant even. Nooooooooo!!!! Overall a beautiful drama with beautiful people. I am not wedded to reality, because, hey, it's TV. Warning! I will join you guys in saying that I am also quite impressed with Heads' writing and her sense of humor. Super evaluation! The last winter is a movie that starts up promising with an oil field expedition in the arctic plains. Can she see? If there's one thing that i loved coming out of this show, it's my new love for jo in sung. Awards It is the reason why she is such an important person to be sent from one side of the country to another by the Fireflies, as she might play a key role in developing a cure for the infection.
