Good one. Didn't the director say that in the end they were going to grow up to be just like their parents anyway?

ThisIsTheGirl wrote:As for Bladerunner, the Director's Cut got rid of the voiceover (thereby de-humanising Deckard a little bit), and added the unicorn dream sequence. So, when he picks up the little paper unicorn at the end, we're supposed to think that all of his memories and dreams have been implanted, ie he's a replicant.
His name, Deckard, is also supposed to evoke Descartes: I think, therefore I am.
Tubbs Tattsyrup wrote:From the RESERVOIR DOGS screenplay:
Mr. Pink is standing motionless. Finally he grabs the satchel of diamonds and RUNS out the door.
We hear outside a CAR START. Then the SOUND of a BULLHORN yells out:
POLICE FORCE (OS) - Freeze! Get out of the car and lie face down on the ground!
MR. PINK (OS) - Don't shoot!
We now hear SIRENS, the SOUNDS of more CARS DRIVING UP, MEN RUNNING to the warehouse.
Don't know if that clears up any ambiguity there or not, but there you go. Sometimes there's a man.
Do you think what film makers say outisde of the confines of the film should "count" when discussing these ambiguous bits here or there?

Almost anything could have happened after the film ended.
And of course, we can't forget RESERVOIR DOGS, and the eternal "did-they-catch-Mr.-Pink" debate.

if you listen closely at the end, you can hear the cops outside yelling at Mr Pink to freeze, hands up, etc., as he gets busted outside the warehouse. may that dude was funny looking, in a general sort of way.
According to Tarantino, Mr. Pink does in fact survive. You can verify this by increasing the volume of the background sounds: When Mr. Pink runs out of the building with the diamonds, police officers can be heard shouting at him to put his hands on the ground. Gunshots can be heard, then Mr. Pink shouts that he has been shot. You can then hear the officers talking to each other as Pink is arrested.

Shame The Matrix didn't finish at the first movie. When I saw it, I didn't think "sequel". I thought "satisfying".

you aren't alone feeling that way about the first "Matrix". there was no need for the next two, except the need to c@sh in.

Now that damn song is in my head now.
