After watching the last ep, even though we got the happy ending, I felt that it was a frustrating journey. My hope: This drama was a commissioned one and in exchange of this ratings success SBS will let her write her own personal project. I still can't figure out how Mr. Kim killing his family meant that he needed to stab Soo. Could you tell me exactly what it is about the ending that eluded you? I hate unreasonable story, because it messes my head. The chief catalyst here is allegedly the spirit of the Wendigo; Dawn, while treating one of Elliot's nose bleeds, refers to a similar spirit from Algonquin mythology known as the Chenoo. Nice Guy and TWTWB, both the male protagonists were stabbed, but they survived, right? or I think then it could be a lot better than with the directors imagination leading nowhere. I was wrong. I salute the writer as well as Ju in sung and Oh young very well-acted characters. It always took some time with him. The Last Winter (2006 film) Jump to navigation Jump to search. 2006 thriller film by Larry Fessenden. The Last Winter is a 2006 thriller film directed by Larry Fessenden. The Last Winter premiered in The Contemporary World Cinema Programme at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2006. The few action scenes are hard and fast and have more of an impact if they had been wall to wall from start to finish. Drama pls! Things arent looking good for Soo in the game, as Boss Man starts laughing as he turns over his cards. I was waiting to see if the aftermath changed how I felt about the whole ordeal, since there was a chance for the show to treat the attempt in a thoughtful and meaningful way. And second, Soo is alive because, as you say, picklemonster, they have too prosaic a conversation. | Its Jin-sung. I've come to that after thinking a bit more but, she's still not a character I will pretend to understand through and through, lol. I don't think anyone will be able to wrap their head around why Jin Sung did that. !good point haha. However the group is divided into so many different factions(the company man,the conservationist,the spiritualist etc. I dont understand why this conversation cant happen now. Her secretly hoping that Oh Soo would burst in and save her makes sense (the only thing that made sense in this episode). Her tears finally spill over as she stops the video, even though Video Soo seemed to have more to say. Larry Fessenden's "The Last Winter" is a ambitious and smartly made film. His stern expression did make me think he matured a bit. One of the characters presently opines that nature itself has turned against mankind. Also, most of the other NHK dramas I've watched have all felt remarkably real-- but in a way that evokes an appreciation of the human experience. And I do wonder if everyone really takes the time to read all comments or just stay firm in their opinions no matter what? However, the story drags on and it all goes downhill soon. She did do the across-wrist cut. JIS, who I will forgive for just about anything! Im glad he grew as a person, but since when did Growth = Passivity? }; The ending scene is that of the only surviving researcher, Abby Sellers, waking up alone in a deserted hospital with no recollection of arriving there. Instead of theorizing, theres another option, in that the obligatory happy ending could have just made sense without requiring leaps in logic. A good cast that acted well above this movie. "If that had been me, Id have taken the knife and gone after Kim.". Photo: HBO. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; Ivoire, I am late to this but what is it with will-he-die melos of late and their nonsensical endings? Doctor Sun-hee treats Young at home, with Lawyer Jang and her closest friends watching nervously even as Sun-hee declares that Young will be fine when she wakes up. Soo nods, understanding even though it hurts. And I like how SHG played OY. As for suicidal Young, it didn't come as a shock to me. For me was obvious oh young didnt regain her sight, she basically could see only soo. I wouldn't mind a directors cut not for more action but more subtext. Thank you for the recommendation - watched it, like it! Oh, and yes, thanks to TWTB, I also discovered Jo In Sung!! if (d.getElementById(id)) return; Honestly I was angry there about a great movie being ruined so heavily sitting there and kind of screaming "zoomout and pan, goddamnit" to the camera man. He turns back to her with a smile, and rings the bell bracelet. The love of your life, the one you defied death for (whether you died and are meeting in the afterlife or here on earth)! The ending just seemed so fanservice (and I know I have already said that, however, that feeling kept staying with me). Thank you for your recap and I totally agree with your comments! I even watched the rerun on the weekends. @picklemonster: That's actually pretty cool -- the not wanting to give false hope thing. But through her eyes, the focus is still so-so. To be honest, I was relieved when you wrote that you felt conflicted about the finale and the last few episodes. I will agree with deducing opera, that in general, barring sacrificing yourself in a suicide 'mission' to save others, suicide is a big o' hey look at me. Once Abby makes it out of the hospital doors, there is no relief, still no one around to communicate with, only a blaring siren, cutting through the dead air. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; and the kiss at the beginning is (for me) the best kiss of this year in dramaland! It had some surprises the biggest one that there was a happy ending. Thank you. Also when heesun and jinsung said they would bring flowers to soothe way it sounded in korean was like they were visiting his grave as hes not around longer rather than visiting a live person to give him flowers. There is absolutely no reason to vague up a happy ending so yeah that was not a happy ever after ending. But I'm just so thankful. The game amps up as Jin-sungs family loads the truck to move though theyre being watched by a shady-lookin dude. When Hee-Sun and Jin-Sung were talking about visiting Soo and bringing Lamb's ear flowers, they were talking about real brother Soo; visiting the river where his ashes were spread. She may have wandered off to get snatched up by apparitions too. The audience has already come to learn that there is nothing beyond this point. Warning: This story contains spoilers from season 5 of New Amsterdam. When I started watching I already accepted the fact that someone or even all of the lead characters might die. Also, um. It's at a drama's standpoint. if so what are you doing? I always felt as if she was always looking at me with all her body and heart. It's loaded with so much promise - a cast of engaging characters; a bleak, isolated setting; slow-burn direction that builds a creepy atmosphere. Shooting took place in both Iceland and Alaska. I honestly handwave the whole stabbing scene away. Blurry. A verification email has been sent to your new email address. I love it. She discovers a male employee who has committed suicide by hanging himself in one of the rooms. As things progress from bad to worse each succumbs to their own belief with wild and unpredictable results. So in a sense, this ending was a miracle painted in the most idealistic way possible. I dont understand why this conversation cant happen now. I crack up at times while reading her recaps 'cause she's writing about serious moments in such a dry, humorous way. Anyway, I thought it was clear enough that the ending was real, the blurry perspective was Young's post-surgery sight as Kaye says. Until 2/3rds into the movie I really loved it and was waiting for something to drop the curtain for applause. When you said this, "(Seriously though. I absolutely love your comments and totally agree word for word with your analysis. Which begs the question: who was the better at conning? ), but he stays on the phone with Mi-ra to get updates on Youngs surgery. I thought it was a nice touch. They eventually decide on lambs ear, because that was the plant special to him and Young. I took the time to read Liera's but I didn't know how to respond. This place is weird: Jim Hensons Liminal Films for Children and Adults. Why show, whyyy?? The first time I didn't see it all and I judged it unfairly as a result. User Ratings He struggles to his knees as we pan to the shoes of the man who stabbed him, the trembling man holding the knife, and up. If there's one thing that i loved coming out of this show, it's my new love for jo in sung. so that ending was weird, to say the least. Oh and I forgot to add. Okay, nothing much to say here that hasn't already been said by all the other good reviewers on here. By far the most breathtaking place on earth, and still the most magical place I ever visited - and probably ever will visit - in my life. How is that brushed away? The thing is, I really don't think it was done for fanservice. 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. Is this another instance of Drama Syndrome, where characters would rather undergo pain and irreparable harm than do something logical? 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. Now the shot focuses, and we see that its definitely Soo dressed as a waiter. Hee-sun looks like shell be joining them. Connect with Facebook Hee-sun sees Soo off for his big gamble, after which he plans to go to the hospital to see Young. Like what were they trying to achieve with that effect? Retinitis pigmentosa is not curable a disease. A call to Hee-sun affirms that Boss Man isnt lying, and Jin-sung looks devastated as the mean old geezer slides him a knife. In these final moments of The Last Winter, Fessenden effectively emphasizes the very real horrors of environmental destruction, bound to leave the stench of death in the That was what it felt like to me, just so we could have the reunion scene in the very end and tie a neat bow). The atmosphere of coldness, emptiness, isolation and the resulting paranoia are captured And even if you were, wouldnt it have been cooler to see that moment of decision instead? I for one liked the ending. Make Kim think Oh Soo, died like Moo Chul had everyone thinking he was threatening Soo instead of just warning him? It's a remake so obviously the framework will be the same as the original. I wonder, I wonder. ALL the characters are wooden. Yes, the picture at the end was pretty. But "Nice Guy" completely forgot about its main female lead, leaving her propped up in the corner while they finished out the main guy's story. Really? if (d.getElementById(id)) return; I will have to agree to disagree on the ending. I watched the last episode of Queen of Ambition yesterday. 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?? However, when she speaks to one of the kids next to her she reaches out to hold his hand and seems to look him in the face when she speaks. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. The collapse of the environment has brought about the end, making this final framing and camera perspective cleverly placed. Talk about a quick recovery time. But when she started having visions of the man in the hat and Dr. David Andrews specifically asked her to start praying, Lucy finally decided to visit a church. version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 A friendly football game outside of the housing area is interrupted when environmental scientist Elliot accidentally collides with rookie oil worker Maxwell, resulting in Elliot getting a bloody nose. No thanks.). You're the best. The whole premise of this drama was about a woman who wanted to die and a man who wanted to live, so im guessing this outcome makes sense. Soo falls to the ground with his hand holding his bleeding gut. Soo mention od secretary Wang and the scene with the blind folded Wang, M and Jang say yes. Unfortunately, the flash-forward in the 1883 premiere episode was not a dream or a hallucination. If it was a "porn" movie it wouldn't get nearly as much critical acclaim as it did. Nooooooooo!!!! Submissions should be for the purpose of informing or initiating a discussion, not just to entertain readers. Despite the continuous chaos that sears through the film, one of the standout scenes comes at the very close of the film. I also had a hard time with Sec. Almost the ending: Yay! Oh you have made it perfect sense.I did not feel the flowers were for the grave, as lambs ear was more for OY than OS. 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. (I'll vote for SJK's character in Nice Guy. Also, it's not completely out of the blue, but I still don't buy how all a sudden the show just turned Soo into a chef at the end?! i had the same reaction when a friend told me, man! The Last Winter is a 2006 horror film directed by Larry Fessenden. 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 HeadsNo2, I wish I could meet you in person during the Dramabeans Meetup and personally say how you're one heck of a great writer and thinker but I'll have to be content with this. WHY WOULD YOU KILL HIM!? You brought up an interesting point for 1. It's even weirder cuz 2 eps ago lawyer ahjussi was angrily throwing her out asking her if she's human and all and then hey! Then, again I don't believe Young would make up such an elaborate story for herself (even in a dream) to "blind" herself from his death. But he interacts with too many people and objects to be a ghost or a memory. I can't believe how stupid the last shot is. I was also wondering, why shouldn't have JS hanged up on HS? As if to answer her request for them to be able to talk once she wakes up, Soo kisses her. I don't care what others may feel about this drama, but from any dramas so far in 2013, this is the only drama that artistically the best, directed the best and acted the best. I didn't think about it that way when watching the final scene so i believed they both died. If he didn't I'd have to wrestle with that scene. Now shes looking toward the future, to when theyll meet again. Jin-sung arrives in the meantime so Boss Man can declare him Soos gambling partner, and all of Soos huffing and puffing cant reverse the situation now. I glossed over a lot of the things a lot of people struggled with eg. The characters were very well scripted and portrayed. Even for wearing that maroon suit and pants at ep16! 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). Yes, we do get a happy ending but it felt completely unsatisfying and made me feel so disappointed. The flowers of MS and JS was at the table. I think that is what the writer ment. This place is weird: Jim Hensons Liminal Films for Children and Adults. I'm one of those people who would rather have a happy ending than a realistic one. Is he a chef and a painter at the end of the show?! Soo keeps an eye on his watch, knowing time is of the essence. If not, its a bad thing. But it wasn't clear how our characters survived the stabbing, surgery, and road accidents. . We all know that oil is a non-renewable resource. I guess I understood his decision 'against' Soo ("the needs of the many blablabla blood is thicker bla") but it was so rushed that I totally did not connect on an emotional level. To me it looks like the last 3 episodes were written by a different person. This is one of those movies that builds, quite effectively to a suspenseful setup and then, disappoints. There never is a straight ending in Kdramaland. Superb for the writer can make the viewer confused and determine their own opinion about the end of the drama, Daebak! 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. Seeing Abby surrounded by puddling water is enough. He acted well but he still not converting me as one of his fans. She's in her version of the LOST holding pattern universe and she had to find her way to Soo, thus the center scene surrounded by people that she loves and makes her happy. He stumbles back to camp that night traumatized, just as the others are about to head out into wastes to look for him, claiming that his radio had been not working. 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. The scenario with the child and sec wang of course was only a part of the scne that it should be clear. And I know kdramas are all about redemption and forgiveness but pls not Secretary Wang, r u kidding me?! At first, I thought it might be too boring (it's the opposite of TWTWB in terms of its lack of slickness and heightened intensity), and frankly, I couldn't imagine myself getting terribly invested in most of the characters. I waited for you for a long time, Young says. It's lovely and I don't think you can blow it off as just pretension. Since everyone went all in, he won the game, and all of Boss Mans money. The beginning of this drama was so so so good!!! I still think he did die, so im kinda surprise how many people think he lived. The emptiness in each of the subsequent frames begins to hint that her loneliness is only about to be more profoundly realized. It seems to me that Ron Perlman either chooses dreadful movies to appear in OR puts a jinx on films in which he appears. Very pretty to look at like a picture, but barely engaging and forgettable in the end. Agreed. This show started out great but slowly became distant with the sudden implausibilities and uncertainty of what Young was thinking as well as glossing over Sec. I am just speculating of course, however, that was what went through my mind. 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? Soo stays vigilant at Youngs bedside until she wakes and realizes hes there with her. Didnt things turn out badly the last time he left someone for Young? I did feel one thing at the end of the final episode: Thank God it is finally over! Eco horror film about the advance team from an oil company finding that the Alaskan wilderness is turning against it. The use of soft-focus lens didn't seem to mesh well with the story-telling part. We really don't know what happened when Oh soo was stubbed by Jin Sung. As she takes a taxi home, she opens the window to feel the wind. 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. Happy waiting for the next trip everyone. I'm in agreement. After they each pull away, Young comforts him: Dont cry. This ambiguous ending reminds me of "Ironweed" by William Kennedy. because she had not truly forgiven Sung's betrayal. Dreaming should be kissing already or running while laughing, no real people will talk and if everything was all a dream then why not the director chose to have that scene be with Oh young and Oh soo only and no other people will be part of it and no other thing will included. So any drama that shows someone trying to kill someone will probably involve a knife. If that had been me, I'd have taken the knife and gone after Kim. Meaning, the surgery was successful and Oh young survived. I believe that if we are to see the end it wont look anything like weve come to know or expect. 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. But there was nothing to support that theory so it's just Jin Sung doing something weird, lol. It was a visually lovely show to watch. She got the call from Jin-sung while she was on her way to treat Young. One can argue it was a reference of Young's brother but I feel it was a reference they are bringing lamb's ears for both Soo and Young as she most likely died the same day as Soo in surgery and the flowers would be a way to remember them both Soo is alive. Ron Perlman and Connie Britton were the only ones acting. I love you, very much. Soo pulls her into an embrace even as he cant help but crying, and he repeats over and over again, I love you. 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. 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. And how, for the first time, the world seemed fair. It's almost like the story is saying that sometimes people really, really hurt the ones they love but we forgive them? Can you see nothing at all?. The Last of Us ends with the duo seemingly heading back towards Tommy's settlement, likely with humanity doomed as a result. Which is crappy and yes, obsessive and crazy! 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. ;), Which means Soo must be alive, too. It was a pleasure reading them. Having Soo say he made a mistake is kind of the show telling everyone to forgive her. Thank you so much for the recap! He offers to make her the same potato soup he did on their trip, but adds, I want to stay with you. 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. So, THANK YOU NOH HEE KYUNG. :D. I'll add, I also agree that this wasn't the writer pulling out a happy ending to please fans or because she couldn't think of anything else. Perhaps like the movie, viewers are left to decide for themselves how to interpret the ending. JS looked very sad at the point when he agreed to what Hee-sun suggested but the the face of JS was a type of confused or something that the director suggested for him to do to make us bewildered of what really had happened to Oh soo. Why? I cant understand how you couldnt even make an excuse. Jin-sung readies to stab his best friend again, but he cant bring himself to do it and drops the knife. I still don't get this drama. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; Jin-sung falls to his knees beside his hyung. Stabbingthis seems to be used a lot. Is he dead, for real this time? According to Secretary Wang, Soo started there six months ago. Do you think it is good to see a blurry drama scenes only because the main character is blind? 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. Then, in the final seconds, the camera places Abby within her surroundings. The bit with Secretary Wang is so, so weird. As with Sec Wang, I totally get the wholw"so despereate to be a mom that she goes batshit crazy and blinds the child" BUT come on- how does that make her the best-suited person to care for Young??? Writer-nim, you are SO much better than this-- please don't squander your gift. Another BIG factor as to why the last scene is not a depiction of heaven, or Young's imagination, is because the conversation between Soo and Young in that cafe is waaay too elaborate to be fake. However, Puss realizes that his one life is worth fighting for, and chooses not to use the stars wish. ), We did have two con-men though, that's true. He tightens the bell bracelet on his wrist in preparation, since its his life on the line. 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. Safely smuggling Ellie out of the quarantine zone means more to Marlene and Kim There were some really amazing nuances to this drama that I just loved. I wish I wasnt so conflicted over this finale or the last few episodes, because I truly did love this show in the early stages, and wish that love could have carried all the way through. I sometimes miss some of those, and I appreciate when those are pointed out to me. However, weird events happen trapping the group in the base. I just watched it tonight 13 years after the above question was posted. @picklemonster: I was happy with the happy ending, too. You will receive a link to create a new password via email. The cinematography was imo not distracting but rather very well intergrated and instrumetalized, the music was good (this is where i usually loose my patience first) and Jo In Sung and Song Hye Gyo just clicked for melike massively, hugely, "pleaaase work together again". Hoffman convinces Ed to travel with the team to a hospital for examination after Elliot's death; however, the bush plane arriving to pick them up crashes into their building, badly damaging it. I cant forgive you, she says. The atmosphere of coldness, emptiness, isolation and the resulting paranoia are captured perfectly. A lot happened in The Last of Us, and players can probably expect the story in TLOU2 to be even more suspenseful and compelling (especially if Ellie finds out Joel was lying) when it releases on June 19, 2020. Sadly, as many other reviewers note, the ending throws it all away in a fit of awful CG monsters. But then she adds that if she lives through her surgery, theyll meet again, and finally talk out their issues. When one insane team member is found dead naked on the snow, the environmentalist James Hoffman (James Le Gros) suspects that sour gases may have been accidentally released in the spot provoking hallucinations and insanity in the group. This was my reaction seven minutes before the ending: WHAT!? And yes, like mentioned above, to show lust and passion. Please enter your username or email address. Or maybe Soo went into hiding until gangster Kim was arrested? One thing the show did really, really right I thought was its depiction of blindness. (I frowny-faced at that, honestly. In that case then, why stab him in the first place? He was always morally flexible as were most of these characters. Its a crushingly oppressive movie that should make you feel uneasy. The weathers nice today, isnt it? she asks, and the man clearly responds with Soos voice even though his figure remains blurred. Yeah, my first but not fake. Maybe he felt like a cornered mouse or panicked. Show! I concluded. this reminds me why I'm not a fan of the genre. Maybe they are all waiting for Moo chul to show up. I would've found them to be highly problematic in any case, but the fact that that this was a Noh Hee Kyung drama deepened my disappointment exponentially. We shouldnt have to go through what a character is feeling in order to understand them if that were the case, how could I understand the plight of second generation chaebol princes or cross-dressing nuns joining an idol group if Ive never been in those shoes? Not Soo asks her if she cant see, and she responds by asking if hes ever met a blind person. They are most probably dead and in heaven somewhere. BOO-mother-frikkin-HOO. 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 "threat" in this movie was inadequately developed and almost non exsistent. Well done. I strongly recommend Last Winter for those who like their horror movies on the cerebral side. :). She was slowly recovering her vision. (Even Wang's redemption arc, though not something I agree with, was well supported within the story -- it didn't come out of nowhere.). Episode 8 House of the Dragon explained. So, it makes me think that perhaps those scenes with Oh Soo were not real - maybe they respresent Young's imagination or their "afterlife" together. This article contains spoilers for The Last of Us episode 1. Unfortunately, while they were running away, I think Soo is gonna be on my list of favorite characters. That "happy" ending felt so contrived for me. Is this another instance of Drama Syndrome, where characters would rather undergo pain and irreparable harm than do something logical?) This repeats a number of times until the end and then it really disappoints. The Winters Tale: That final scene In the past, Ive discussed the two scenes that are the bane of any director taking on The Winters Tale: the first scene in Bohemia, during You're right, everyone in this show seems to heal rather quick. (And not a moment too soon!). JS to me was a consistent character. You got your money, whats wrong with you? I am confused about a number of things in this episode (trust me on that one) and I am still writing (what looks like it will be my somewhat long) response.
