what.. the ending was great...

Of course, but I'm a nihilist at heart and I weave these entertaining tales to distract myself from the persistently gnawing but more realistic outcome, or at least it's what I consider to be the most realistic outcome. I see no hope, and if I'm being 100% honest with myself about the ending, I believe they turn back without understanding or obtaining anything and they return in a state even more broken and hopeless than when this all began. I understand the potential benefits and understanding that this journey could bring, but I'm disinclined to believe that these individuals are capable of positive self-discovery or letting go of the past.

I like your approach so much more, but it's just not how I saw this ending playing out at all. Which goes back to why I'm still trying to convince myself that this turned into a Tarantino style revenge saga lol.

I mean I'm not saying that's how I personally view the ending, just talking about some of the possibilities. Like it's ended that way because it doesn't actually matter what they do, it's more of an experiment in how the viewers will leave the movie and deal with things in their own lives after seeing such a raw and brutal version of what allowing yourself to live in that kind of headspace is like. In terms of the characters I agree partially. I honestly think the mom never recovers, but I do think that the former cop actually did grow throughout the movie and will continue on that trend.

Nope he had an alibi. The drunken ex cop said he "knew he raped someone" because he heard him telling his friends a story when he was also hammered. The guy was not even in the country when her daughter was killed. I guess they are saying they both drove eachother insane to the point where they would change who they both are a cop and a mother, and both become murderers. Which if they did kill this guy with no reason other then he may have raped someone else because he was innocent when it came to her daughter, it would be murder.

The ending was bad and it is not just me who thinks that, pissed a ton of people off.

You're not great at seeing the value of an ending if it's not spelled out for you, huh?

Genuinely think you've misunderstood the ending man.

I consider the similarities to be pre evolution of ww. Similar family characteristics as well. Larry does not seem to share characteristics of WWs later personality.

That was how it ended to me. I understand others may like it, I did not though. I really feel they had a great movie with a bad ending.

Has anyone seen the house of the laughing windows and if so would you suggest it?

That is an oldschool movie. Never seen it might check it out for fun.
