OK, so I went to see the movie (wait for the video) but got bored and fell asleep. The last part I remember seeing is him running around in the jungle, spying on the drug traffickers (this is after he’s been “exiled” for giving those surfer dudes a map, and being condemned to watch the interlopers and steal the map back from them.) I woke up to see him sitting in an office, staring at a picture taken on the island, and cut to credits. So what happened? How did he leave the island? What happened to the injured swedish fisherman that was banned to a tent because of his moaning? What happened to Françoise (Virginie Ledoyen) and Etienne (Guillaume Canet)? Did they choose to stay on the island with the commune?
Thank you for the link Russel, but I had already checked at imdb and didn’t see any re-telling of the ending. Anybody else?
SPOILER ALERT*****
Ok he runs around like a loon in the woods, and eventually those two idiots that he gave the map to come over to the island with their idiot girl friends. They all get killed by the pot farmers. Leo freaks and runs back to the camp, to get his ex-gf and her ex-bf and leave ‘just the three of us, just like we came here’. Before they leave, Leo snuffs out the guy was shark-bit cause he has gangrene and can’t be moved and he’s annoying as hell anyway. Instead of leaving though they all get rounded up by the pot farmers, who tell them they have to leave.
That woman…forget her name, the one who is in charge, refuses to leave. Leo trys to get her to leave. She reveals that all this crap is his fault for being a rotten actor. The pot farmer gives her a loaded pistol to shoot him with. Its a very tense moment. She shoots him, but AHAHAHA its a trick its not loaded. Now no one believes in this woman anymore, and everyone leaves. Later, Leo reads email in a internet cafe and thats where you came in. You really missed out, man.
I haven’t seen the movie, but the book was excellent. And it sounds like the movie doesn’t quite follow it.
It’s not how you pick your nose, it’s where you put the boogers
Thank you Cooper! Now I will be able to sleep tonight. I figure it was about time for them to leave the island anyway, since I never saw any latrines in the movie and the whole place must have started to stink to high heaven. Also in a short while they would have cut down all the trees and killed all the fish in their island paradise, and then would have had to move on anyway.
NOT ONLY did I sleep through half of the “Pokemon” movie, but I read my New Yorker through the other half. ( Yes, I carry a Mini Mag Lite. Gonna make something of it?). I got a LOT of jealous looks for my forethought.
If you want to kiss the sky, you’d better learn how to kneel.
