By the episode's end, the Flag Smashers are seemingly no more, as they fail to complete their ultimate plan. But she didn't, her vision is only recovering, thus the blurry images. This vagued up messy ending was the compromise. The flowers suggested by MC are the favorite flowers of Oh young and her brother same with Oh soo. I am not wedded to reality, because, hey, it's TV. This action causes the creature, a massive, ghostly moose, to focus on Hoffman instead of Pollack, and it grabs him and carries him off. (hahah). and it's a year ago so i think the part that had the scar of the brain surgery will not show anymore, it will be covered by hair by now. I sooooooo appreciate that. We know it isn't going to last forever. Another obvious thing was the discussion between jin sung and jung eun, they were obviously reffering to his grave (why didnt they get married as they planned if things settle down?) I don't know. 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. You have to make Jin-sung want to blame Soo and they just didn't do that at all. (Shes implying that people need people, and that they need each other.). It is so illogical and stupid, it is almost a sort of evil in itself. 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. I didn't watch this show but I read every recaps on it. That's the best way to describe it honestly. Is he dead, for real this time? If i have to nominate 2 things i dislike about this drama was jin sung stabbing oh soo (really bad move) and oh young not knowing or not even suspecting that oh soo might not be his real brother.

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. ), but he stays on the phone with Mi-ra to get updates on Youngs surgery. At first I thought it was some kind of alternate reality where they both died and created it so they (and us viewers) can come into terms with moving on. I took the time to read Liera's but I didn't know how to respond. [7] The U.S. cable channel IFC had been supportive of Fessenden's career and often played his films. She may have wandered off to get snatched up by apparitions too. We have seen that kind of setting before, in "The Thing" and a dozen other movies where a crew is isolated in a strange place where weird things start to happen. 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. And where you buried my brother, or which river you spread his ashes at. Flowers were for the grave. In the talk show, the guest is an epidemiologist who talks about the history of humanity, which has encountered all kinds of viruses and pandemics. I do agree that Last Winter was somewhat flawed here and there but overall I was blown away. Nobody knows what happened to the cook. Note: This clip is from a version of the film dubbed in French. The revelation at the end of The Last of Us Episode 1 suggests that she is somehow immune to the effects of the fungus infection. 3. I didn't think there were many loose ends or plot holes, but the last episode sure makes it seem like there was just because it was like fitting a bunch of things haphazardly in a suitcase in way. [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. What's with Jin sung and Hee sun talking 'bout bringing flowers to Oh Soo? Am I suppose to just forget all that? You will answer all my questions honestly. How about NOW, since youre already asking the questions? 2 eps later, all's forgiven! Also, if they were both in the afterlife, I'm sure Young would get 100% of her sight back. A good cast that acted well above this movie. His stern expression did make me think he matured a bit. I'm disappointed though that it didn't keep up toward the end. The last winter is a movie that starts up promising with an oil field expedition in the arctic plains. Your email address will not be published. :). Jin-sung Why? Soo ekes out, but his next words go to Young: Wait for me. Then he struggles to get up in order to go to her, though he can barely stand. Thanks for recapping ! It's photographed beautifully and (by and large) acted with conviction and sensitivity. Isn't that what melos are (partially) made of- gut-wrenching decisions? But through her eyes, the focus is still so-so. Oh and I forgot to add. Thank you for your recap and I totally agree with your comments! 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. Why is everything so blurry? But this was seriously a group of really scarred people. This implies that the rapacious, virus-like behavior of oil-seeking humans has resurrected the 'ghosts' of the fossil-fuels being siphoned out of the ground. I enjoyed the slow build up to reach an exciting climax as paranoia and delusion begin to take over the group of stranded oil-searchers; but what happened? Love it! A warm, humorous and inspiring feature film, tells the story of a young mans struggle to keep his world from changing. [4], When casting the film, Fessenden looked to recruit Perlman because of his gruff performance as the title character in Hellboy. He lived like a dog, and died like a dog, she laments, though shes not willing to let Soo comfort her as she tells him that he wont be needed at Moo-chuls cremation. so that ending was weird, to say the least. Over all, I do think rather than a "happy ending" it was more like a "believe what you want" ending. But, to be perfectly honest, I wasn't thinking about her hair at all this episode, haha. Thank you so much for the recap. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. 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?! =), We actually see the flowers Hee-sun talked about on the table, so they were for our Soo. And the "softy" villain wasn't so much a softy as an audience fave. 2. But since it didn't really do anything anyway I just push it from my mind and enjoy what's left. After waking up from what seems to have been a nightmare, composed of the whole duration of the film, she looks for others. (And you'll realize how much we need one another in order to overcome our internal obstacles.) That or she'd better return on jtbc. Required fields are marked *. if (d.getElementById(id)) return; i had the same reaction when a friend told me, man! It was blurry because it was trying to show it in Young's perspective. Instead of looking so desolate, its now been painted with blooming flowers on the branches. We have to keep in mind you can survive these things and it's not completely out there. I agree with Hannah -- the flowers were a continual peace offering and the weirdly beautiful blurriness was Young's pov. This drama was beautiful and I no doubt loved it but the ending didn't exactly get stupid, it just never explained itself.. Soo nods, understanding even though it hurts. Out of all the melos I've seen, this one is definitely the most satisfying. The acting wasn't by any means bad either. I can see just enough to see that youre very good looking, she adds. I cant understand how you couldnt even make an excuse.

By Shane O'Neill / April 9, 2021 8:39 am EST. Well, Young must be alive. I dunno ! Hee-sun mentions that theyre going to see Soo tomorrow, but it doesnt seem like theyre seeing him alive when they talk about what flowers to take. We've all seen Jin Sung take a beating and give one and I have no doubt he would have caused some serious damage. The Last Winter is eye-catching, effectively inciting fear among its viewers of environmental damage and disaster. Sad how it happens to many of the dramas I follow. It had some surprises the biggest one that there was a happy ending. There were a lot of "wth" moments in the last few episodes that were left unresolved. The scenario with the child and sec wang of course was only a part of the scne that it should be clear. But it could be Minions shady-lookin dude guarding them, which means its a good thing. Bad. 7. I think soo is alive:) eith regards to yhe "blurred" background.. i noticed that too yet i understand it this way :) young can't see clearly.. shes not totally blind, the background is actually her vision (that's my take) the first time she saw soo after a year when he was on his bike i noticed it's blurred so i thought maybe it was young's vision and i confirmed it when young visited yhe restaurant she cant see him that clear but she can see him :). 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. The blurry images say no. my two cents anyway. But then again, I never felt like Jin Sung was a quick thinker in difficult times. Still, I'm glad that none of the main characters died.

Though I was happy to see OS alive, I was not jumping up and down, I was not clapping (meaning I was not overly excited), and I couldn't help but wonder if MC dying (though maybe we had that coming) and the other characters being alive (I am assuming) was a way of doing fanservice, the main characters got to live and all.
