What did you think of the ending when he walks away from the house?

I just finished watching the movie and I’m still turning over that final scene in my head. What was your take on the protagonist’s choice to walk away from the house? It seemed like a quiet surrender, but my friend thinks it was his ultimate victory, and I can’t decide which reading feels right.

It felt like surrender, not a loud break but a quiet choosing to live with what’s unfinished rather than chase one more win.

My friend sees it as victory, as if stepping away is consent to a safer future and not a coward’s retreat.

I keep circling the idea that the house was a stand-in for the problem, but was the engine fear or faith driving the move? What do you think—was it fear or faith?

I drifted after, thinking about doors and thresholds in real life, how a boundary can feel like a limit or a horizon, and I keep coming back to the way the film lets the moment hang.

I watched it again and paused right at the moment he leaves the room, noticing the silence and the soft cut, and still came away with more questions than answers.
