Stay
i definitely think i’ll need to rewatch this at some point to see if my rating changes
i was left very confused after watching and i had to read through what actually happened (turns out i did understand but still confused) and i read someone saying that when henry tells sam at the end on the bridge that living would be too painful, its him making the decision to stop fighting after the crash and suddenly it started to click to me that the whole film being in his almost dead state was his consciousness trying to figure out whether he should keep fighting to live or not - if he did make it out of the crash, he would live a depressed, and potentially suicidal, life so dying then was the best choice.
the ending did also help to make sense of the MANYYY transitions throughout. because of the whole movie being a part of a ‘dream’ the whole ‘sam is henry?’ situation also began to make a bit more sense, as well as the predictions and him
giving the man his eyesight back, because it was sort of like him being god in his dream, like a lucid dream
i was kind of hoping there would be more too it than the ‘it was all a dream’ trope and i think, in a way, there is, but i still feel partially dissatisfied with the film as a whole…i definitely see a rewatch in my future
