It was very good and led to awful dreams last night. Towards the end i just started crying i really did not expect that. Such a commentary on the way things are- anyone else see it? Talk to me..
I have to go to bed soon and just read thru eriktrips' last postings (feeling rather awed). However, I saw CoM last year and was happy with how the Cuarón re-worked it from PD James land into something so secularly intense and now. I was actually rather uplifted at the ending, even tho' everyone who had worked to help Kee and the kid go where she wanted was dead. I mean, at least those people had accomplished something instead of letting the apathy take them.
From Wikipedia: "Without dictating how the audience should feel by the end of the film, Cuarón encourages viewers to come to their own conclusions about the sense of hope depicted in the final scenes: 'We wanted the end to be a glimpse of a possibility of hope, for the audience to invest their own sense of hope into that ending. So if you're a hopeful person you'll see a lot of hope, and if you're a bleak person you'll see a complete hopelessness at the end.'"
mainly i felt hopeful- but hopeful about whAT exactly? i found something touching about hope in the hopelessness of the movie- i wish that i was feeling more articulate
Since the whole story is about hope (and faith in the PD James version), I guess hope in hopelessness is a rather accurate way of summing it up.
I guess I find the fact that so many people were able to stir themselves to action out of the bitter apathy that began the movie and the horrid abuses that filled the rest of the film made me want to cling to the fact that people will TRY and if that can happen, people could maybe TRY and make even the end of our time on the planet less horrific and more pleasant for each other.
Many words - not sure I got my thoughts across ...

So, which way did the ending strike you?
