Life is Brownian Motion

Cusack does his best type of film. A gloomy, old-fashioned Christmas breeds little wit, humor, sin and horror, and a touch of sadness.

Now everyone knows that this film has three different endings and two different endings. I think everyone has their own favorites. At the end of the comedy, it is estimated that there is still some hope for mankind. After all, two million US dollars is a lot of money, which can bring a lot of changes and visions. The tragic outcome is more in line with the original intent of the film.

But there's a quote from Arglist that hits the spotlight for the whole movie:

So the point is... it is futile to regret. You do one thing, you do another... I mean, so what? What's the difference? Same result.

Same result.

Losers are losers.
