What does the final fog scene mean, escape or death metaphor?
#1
I have a small backyard but want to create a nice outdoor living space. What are some good outdoor living ideas that maximize limited space? I'm interested in patio and deck ideas, seating solutions, and landscaping ideas that make small areas feel larger. Any tips for creating multiple zones or incorporating greenery?

I just finished watching the movie and I’m still stuck on the final shot of the protagonist walking into the fog. Was that meant to be a literal escape, or is it a metaphor for him finally accepting his own death? I can’t decide if what we saw was real or just a dying dream, and it’s really bugging me.

I watched it twice and the fog scene still feels both literal and symbolic. On one hand you could read it as an escape; on the other it reads as him letting go of the life he fought for.

I kept looping the final shot in slow motion, listening for the silence before the fog swallows the frame. The way the sound drops out makes me think the choice was his, not fate.

I asked a friend what they saw, and they swore it’s a dream; we argued about the cues, like the lighting and the absence of footsteps.

I tried to pin it down by skimming director interviews, and they dodge the question. I left with a knot and a half-formed theory that never settles.

Maybe we're asking the wrong thing. If the film is about choosing between staying alive and letting go, perhaps the final walk is about a new kind of life rather than a hard binary.

Sometimes I blink at the screen and wonder if I should have paid more attention to the fog texture, the shadows, or the path, but I still don't know.
