Like many people, I feel that the ending is too hasty and not sublimated. Rachel's emotions should be somewhere between David's extreme remorse and Stephen's lack of guilt, but she needs to bear more, she has a family, she has a daughter, she has status, and has social responsibility. She can't live a heartless life like Stephen or stalk a sadist like David. So Rachel should be the most tangled one. She should show more about her abnormality in ordinary life, her mental torment, inconsistency in her words and deeds, and she is on the verge of collapse. She needs a conclusion. The purpose of ending is not to kill the sadist, nor to tell the truth. None of these can help her. Only death can end the mental pressure she has endured for 30 years, and it will also be Rachel's final destination.
The perfect ending I envisioned is:
1. Rachel can't stand lying in public to encourage people, especially after David came to her and died unexpectedly, which strengthened her resolve; but she couldn't tell the truth to reporters, she Not a selfish person, she also has to take into account her daughter's life, her husband's feelings, and social responsibilities and obligations. So she decided to go to the sadist for a break.
2. The process and results of the fight with the sadist can be preserved. Rachel finally found peace before she died. She solved the sadism with her own hands. to die.
3. The truth is buried forever, there is no letter left to the newspaper reporter, and there is no evidence that the people in the mental hospital are sadists. Everything returned to calm, leaving only Stephen's thoughtful memories at the graves of his two comrades.
Of course I was just thinking about it myself. In fact, the overall design and rhythm of this film are quite well grasped. In my opinion, it should be a more connotative ending that can be worthy of so many carefully conceived before.
