the last winter ending explained

Soo keeps an eye on his watch, knowing time is of the essence. 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. Sad how it happens to many of the dramas I follow. [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 concluded. Metacritic Reviews. Shinsou in Class 1-A by SolidVACUJ. It is also in the mind of the person a VIABLE solution to their problem. Yes, I know a lot of this is subtext and supposition (and the interpretation is questionable), but the ending of The Winters Tale requires it, no matter which interpretation you choose. For example, If you want a miracle, then why does Hermione say shes been preserved? I have given more time to this review than the movie is worth. Then, in the final seconds, the camera places Abby within her surroundings. They talked about making Jin-sung betray his friend, but the way they chose to do it didn't make any sense whatsoever. I said above, that I hoped for a more straightforward ending bu that I'll take this, too. A group of people located at a work station in the artic are the first to bear witness to the end of the world. This comes after the violent and unusual deaths of the other crew members. I think they were talking about actually bringing flowers for his restaurant. I still don't get this drama. 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. As for the actual epilogue to all this coordinated madness, I found the actual stabbing inconsequential and the final scenes bizarre. [1] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times selected it as a "NYT Critics' Pick" and wrote that it "breathes fresh air into a stale setup", comparing it to the "elegantly restrained horror" of Val Lewton. I didn't think about it that way when watching the final scene so i believed they both died. The love of your life, the one you defied death for (whether you died and are meeting in the afterlife or here on earth)! This happy ending is actually way too perfect to be realistic, and these characters definitely lucked out to be able to survive in a melodrama. 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. Just like the one guy says, "Soo was willing to forget pride". So in a sense, this ending was a miracle painted in the most idealistic way possible. I love you.. Since when did they promise to remove her brain tumor and restore her sight, considering that the two are unrelated? It's at a drama's standpoint. But sometimes! Headcanons for Shinsou, Sero and Bakugou and a character of your choice where they end up in a staring contest with the reader--their current fixation. The beginning of this drama was so so so good!!! The rating should be much higher. No thanks.). The ending was open ended. Still, I'm glad that none of the main characters died. (ending) Confused. However, The Last of This is the perfect way to describe how I was feeling about the show in its final eps. Then the shape of a man starts to form. These 2 things really disappointed me, there were definetely some things who could have been done better, but on the other hand, im sure not many directors/writers could have succeded in making it better or at least as good as these producers did. I can see just enough to see that youre very good looking, she adds. Then that means shes still the same old Young, still capable of putting those around her through unspeakable misery because she cant see past herself and her feelings. That made me think about the episode when they were up in the mountains, i recall oh soo told her that even when he's not around, every time the wind will blow will always be with her or something in this direction. The final scene of The Lord of the Tides is a tragic misunderstanding that could shape the fate of Westeros. Can she see? When his love hadnt changed one bit, giving her no other assurance than that hed save her from herself if she slit her wrists? The emptiness in each of the subsequent frames begins to hint that her loneliness is only about to be more profoundly realized. And second, Soo is alive because, as you say, picklemonster, they have too prosaic a conversation. Why? Potentially great isolation flick ruined by ridiculous ending. Thanks for everything, drama! The Last of Us 2's ending is a hard pill to swallow. It doesn't mean that after the surgery, she will immediately have an eyesight. The audience has already come to learn that there is nothing beyond this point. True. I sooooooo appreciate that. Happy waiting for the next trip everyone. If we add the something else, then this was an insanely beautiful if not sometimes-frustrating exercise in understanding people who looked like people, but had some moments where they didnt really act like people. After eight episodes full of dramatic highs and lows mixed with appreciated comedic moments, The Best Man: The Final Chapters concludes the story of characters we've known for 23 years. Documentation and research found in an abandoned shack in the middle of the Arctic by another team member suggest that the Earth is releasing 'The Last Winter'.

[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. Nothing tells you, you want to live more than nearly dying. 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. Yes, the picture at the end was pretty. Red Letter Media sells VHS copy of "Nukie" on eBay for Harry Melling talks about leaving Dudley Dursley behind Official Poster for Dave Franco's 'Somebody I Used to The Whale Star Brendan Fraser Gives Emotional Speech At What are the small things that scream "movie set" for you? Young wakes up to find Soo asleep at her bedside, and as she brushes her fingers across his face she remembers his desperate plea for her to watch his video. Soo does all the talking during dinner and even after, until Young cuts him off by telling him to leave once Lawyer Jang comes back. Maybe he felt like a cornered mouse or panicked. "Young has a surprisingly full head of long hair a year after brain surgery, and everyone seems to be having a good time." Jin-sung just kneels there, shaking and sobbing. Soo makes Jin-sung and Boss Man nervous when he keeps folding, but Soo reveals his tactic during a time out he wanted to come this close to losing so Boss Man would have no option but to buy in. As things progress from bad to worse each succumbs to their own belief with wild and unpredictable results. A flash of tile on the cold-looking hospital floor, bare.

Wang stands out for me because Bae Jong Ok was in a bunch of other NHK dramas, always as a fleshed-out character you could empathize with-- but in TWTWB, she was a complex character who did something heinous which she was basically let off the hook for, yet the "why" of it all was never adequately explained to us. 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. I'm in agreement. I really REALLY hated how everyone let Secretary Wang just waltz back into Young's life. You brought up an interesting point for 1. And thanks for the recaps, u DB ladies are gold! Tags: featured, Jo In-sung, Kim Bum, Song Hye-gyo, That Winter the Wind Blows, Your email address will not be published. I was definitely perplexed, after having watched this episode. I know, hard to believe. Thats where Young fails as a character, even though earlier episodes showed her growing and changing from the cold and prickly person she once was, which was mostly due to Secretary Wangs heavy hand in keeping her in a child-like state, into a woman who realized that the world wasnt always out to get her. I was hoping for a more straight-forward ending, but I'll take this too. Barely worthwhile and really not a lot going for it. hmmm i thought the flowers were for the real brother Soo? Last Winter has amazing moments of sustained tension that made me want to cower in fear. Period. At times, I couldn't understand OY and I found her irritating sometimes. I didn't understand why JS didn't react right away and tried to save him. Now he knows, and knowing is half the battle. Im going to carry you.. And I want to pay for what Ive done, he chokes out. Engaging and creepy and also plot less and pointless. I didn't have a problem with Soo not taking the $$ though! Contains spoilers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 4, "The Whole World is Watching". Wah anywhy was a great drama plus the acting was awesome X3. Young not only forgives her, but understands that Wang loved her all this time and just couldnt express it properly. Why? I see. Oh, Heads, if you have just discovered Jo In-sung through this show, I would recommend you The Frozen Flower. and because JIS's acting is so AMAZING - Soo looks so dead there to me! Instead of theorizing, theres another option, in that the obligatory happy ending could have just made sense without requiring leaps in logic. 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. I crack up at times while reading her recaps 'cause she's writing about serious moments in such a dry, humorous way. Safely smuggling Ellie out of the quarantine zone means more to Marlene and Kim Ron Perlman was, well, Ron Perlman, and James Le Gros did fairly well as his opposite. A passenger plane then crashes near them, causing their vehicle to get caught in the explosion. But hes not there to hear about her family life, and instead asks her to return to Youngs side. *cries*. The cafe, the talking people, Soo dressed as a waiter. Good play. After waking up from what seems to have been a nightmare, composed of the whole duration of the film, she looks for others. This is going to be in my all time fav list. One particular part of the ending that was outlined for him by Team Jordan was the fate of Rand alThor, the Dragon Reborn. (And we don't know because we don't see anything alluding to that). 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? So if we get a time leap, then we're also fast forwarding the course of the disease but why is Young's vision clearer? He kept his con going for a lot, lot longer. I guess people thought she was really making headway but I felt like it was bound to happen. If the story is fast forward, then it is possible that the end will be like that. So, regardless of how good or bad Larry Fassenden's "The Last Winter" turned out, at least I was fairly confident the filming locations and the photography would be astounding. 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. Beside all the beautiful faces and cinematography, noise marketing, media play, exaggerated praise help the popularity of this drama also. In this scene, the last remaining member of the oil team, Abby Sellers (played by Connie Britton), wakes up alone in a hospital-like room.

There were a lot of "wth" moments in the last few episodes that were left unresolved. Young is not a character I will pretend to understand through and through, lol. The flowers suggested by MC are the favorite flowers of Oh young and her brother same with Oh soo. Its Jin-sung. I will have to agree to disagree on the ending. Beautiful settings and looks, characters with deep scars and flaws. This is a happy ending. "If that had been me, Id have taken the knife and gone after Kim.". At first I was so upset because I wasn't sure whether Soo was dead or alive, and thought the writer ripped us off with an open-ended ending. Had Soo survived, there was no way, the gangster boss, Kim, would have let Jingsung lived happily. [6], The Last Winter premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. The Brattle Film Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit, supported in part by grants from the Cambridge Arts Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. This doesn't change the fact though that this show was sooooo purttty. The sense of being out in the snow, building tension and sense of dread was totally captured. A tiny moment passes before he asks if they can see each other again. Maybe because I felt like whether or not he gave it in, Kim still was going to find some excuse to kill him. Larry Fessendens 2006 The Last Winter brings us environmental catastrophe, a hauntingly real world-ending thriller. Oh well, the drama is over. Can she see? I don't think it was an excuse to put in alot of sex scenes. 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. The one exception that comes to mind is "Alien Resurrection" in which he was reasonably cast, as a very tall macho oddball. Soo falls to the ground with his hand holding his bleeding gut. I remember reading an interview with NHK from several years ago in which she said that her aim was to write characters whom viewers could understand (and empathize with). It may have lost itself in its own mesmerizing cinematography at times, but I thoroughly enjoyed the visual experience. But I'm leaning toward a happy-ever-after both are alive and living and loving ending, because hey, this is K-drama land, and if Young can survive a wrist-slitting, then Soo can survive a fatal knife woundtwice. Your email address will not be published. I totally agree with all your comments, except, I rather liked how they twisted the Jin Sung - Oh Soo loyalty in the end. I can accept this ending though I wished for a happier one. 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. Didnt things turn out badly the last time he left someone for Young? Is he dead, for real this time? I really think they needed another episode to really work the ending right. Because now just isnt a good time? It's photographed beautifully and (by and large) acted with conviction and sensitivity. @picklemonster: I was happy with the happy ending, too. - I really praised the writer for having this kind of story. Theres a light at the end of every drama tunnel, but sometimes its how we get there that matters more than how bright that light turns out to be. You made viewing this beautiful drama (scenes, actors and soundtracks) even more memorable. Its a crushingly oppressive movie that should make you feel uneasy. Isnt it hard when you cant look into the eyes of someone you love? Young asks. that would be too much. 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.? | I found some recaps confusing but not the show itself. When he was taking MCW's character to sell her into sex slavery he was really taking her to sell into sex slavery. Its no surprise that Soo lived, since every character in this show (aside from poor Moo-chul), displayed a knack for healing without a scratch. One thing I'm going to disagree with you on Heads is the sentiment of Young's suicide attempt being "merely" a cry for attention, because that's what all suicide attempts are. Superb for the writer can make the viewer confused and determine their own opinion about the end of the drama, Daebak! 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?? Well, there was no wrenching of the guts here. When members of a remote Arctic drilling site begin behaving oddly and show signs they're potentially going insane, the few unaffected workers try to get the others to safety before they come face-to-face with the source of their condition. WHY WOULD YOU KILL HIM!? Everything Everywhere All At Once Takes Best Picture At New Image of Bill Skarsgrd and Jessica Roth in Official Poster for 'INSIDE' Starring Willem Dafoe. Independent environmentalists work together in a drilling base headed by the tough Ed Pollack in a sort of agreement with the government, approving procedures and sending reports of the operation. [7] The U.S. cable channel IFC had been supportive of Fessenden's career and often played his films. Back with Jin-sung, we see Moo-chuls minion helping him out in revealing Boss Mans plan to screw him over, since the money he borrowed for the game came from the devil himself. (the way to end the show?) She listens, as in it, Soo tells her what weve heard him say before about how his outlook on life changed when he met her. I'm in dramaland and i want the happy ending of course. (Wangs actions to put her in that initial state got a pass from the magical script fairy too, since the drama made sense of her behavior toward Young the way an abusive person justifies their actions: I hurt you because I love you! And thats somehow okay, enough for everyone to realize that they were sooo wrong about Wang, and that she was really the best caretaker Young could ask for? Secondly, the blurriness, the bike, the cafe, and the final cherry blossom scene is played in Young's mind. Sadly, that wasn't the case. 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. "[6] When writing the characters, Fessenden gave Pollack ideas and personality traits that he could relate to while keeping the character's outlook reactionary. I salute the writer as well as Ju in sung and Oh young very well-acted characters. Like you say, she made Young blind! 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. i'm a great fan of head's writing superpowers. Ivoire, I am late to this but what is it with will-he-die melos of late and their nonsensical endings? Read our extensive list of rules for more information on other types of posts like fan-art and self-promotion, or message the moderators if you have any questions. (Just enough to pay Soos debt.) Too many very explicit sex scenes without enough justification. 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. And HeadsNo2, thank you, once again, for not squandering your gift and for so generously sharing it with us. None of the motivations made sense after that. Iceland was chosen because of the poor film infrastructure in Alaska, and Canada the other obvious shooting location was not flat or snowy enough. You kept a poor young child BLIND so you could in turn create some meaning to your life. Also, when OS passes by OY by the cherry blossoms, is that real OS or imaginary OS? But for some unknown reason, we refuse to move forward. 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. I can't get over, how everyone just overlooked the fact that the secretary caused her to go BLIND!!! Sex isn't a shameful thing. Ill miss it so much :D. I wanted to clear some things up for you, because I also had my doubts about whether Soo died or not at first. I'm certainly not an expert on NHK's work-- I've only seen a handful of her dramas. It's so dang pretty to look at that I almost forget that it doesn't make sense. :). 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.
