Okay, so I've had this movie for quite some time, but just last night found the time to watch it. It marks the first time I've watched a movie all the way through with subtitles, but I really followed it well. I thought this movie was definitely original. The style was gorgeous. The love story was unlike so many others I've seen. I loved how passionate and raw it was, yet borderline creepy at times, given the outcomes of their dares. As for the ending...I'm thinking they died together in the cement. It's just, why would they want to kill themselves, since they'd finally gotten the sense in their heads they wanted to be together. Granted, they each had other families by then...but not feeling the 'Romeo&Juliet' type ending. I'm thinking the 'old age/nursing home' stuff was either to show us 'what could/should have been'...there were flashes of many kisses between the two of them, starting with what looked like their wedding going back to their first kiss, with other moments of them kissing where they didn't actually in the movie, but should have. Or maybe it was them in heaven...the fact they ended up together, happy, and in love in heaven, where they're still playing the game. :look:
And yes, that actor who played grown up Julien, so hot! :sigh:
I beyond loved that! Just how long his tangent was, comparing her being much better than all those things and more...to have someone love you that intensely...just amazing! :sigh:
