He rolls frantically until he rolls out of the camera. We are so sad because the plot and meaning manifest themselves in the body of movement. The glory of the military, the legacy of colonization, and the flames of jealousy in the first 90 minutes are finally twisted into ignited threads, spreading to unseen destruction. His dance is his death. Revisiting the greatest ending in film history is the Deney retrospective in New York before the new crown. The audience clapped, shouted, and cried frantically, as if conjuring spirits.

The powerful colonial army and the dangerous same-sex gaze cannot bring absolute destruction. Everyone is on the road to resist alienation. The first betrayal and the last enemy may be themselves.
