Good post Rick. I agree somewhat that the ending is 'strange', and catches most off guard as it did me also. But this reminds me of the great movie The Sand Pebbles. Jake (Steve Mcqueen) gets shot at the end and dies. This displeased many reviewers and movie goers alike. I mean - What the hell happened?

I saw this flick a few weeks ago. As I was leaving the theater, I had some doubts about the ending; I wasn't sure that it went with the rest of the movie. In the intervening time, the ending has "settled" a bit, and now I don't have a problem with it. It was never a problem that the ending was happy or sad, it was more a case of whether it was consistent with the rest of the flick.
As far as plausibility goes, I see no reason for it. Some of my favorite movies (The Big Sleep as it was originally released, and Once Upon a time in the West, to name two) make no sense whatsoever.
