Page 1 of A Bittersweet Life (Spoiler warning)

Just finished watching this film and not too sure about the ending

SPOILER:
(Just incase anyone has looked who hasn`t seen it yet)
What`s anyone`s opinion, was it

a) All Sun Woo`s fantasy?
b) Just a flashback to before everything happened, showing when everything was alright in his life

I`m of the opinion it was b) but seem to indicate a) when he started shadow boxing.



Thought it was good film though


My DVD Collection

Yep, I`d go along with b) also.
I`ve also done that when I`ve felt a possitive mood :)

Definate B.

In Hong Kong films anyone who takes action outside the law, has to pay a price, whether you are a gangster or a person out for revenge for example Bruce Lee, I think it`s their version of the Hays code, which probably applies anywhere outside the China, and in to other Asian countries such as Korea.

SPOILER:
So the ending for A Bittersweet Life is, even though he`s paid the price for who he was, his own criminal past, and also his final revenge, the director tries to get round this strict rule by ending it on a flashback to give the character a sort of upbeat ending, rather than just ending it with him slowly bleeding to death.
