End Well

I am a big fan of how a movie ends. If it has this long story that seems to make no sense but then at the end there is this one scene that ties it all together I am a lover. Book of Eli does an ending that no one would expect but it makes sense when you go back and watch it. I Robot takes an unexpected twist, Push has an end that will knock your socks off, Precious has an ending that is open ended. I am a huge fan of how something ends because that affects how you view its beginning and its middle. Same with books that are able to twist the end in such a way that it opens up a new viewpoint of the story that was otherwise left unknown. I say all this to come to a conclusion that this drama can fall into the same category as those aforementioned pieces of art. The whole play the characters begin to take shape and form into people that are rarely understood and often outcast, to become people that are in the spotlight and their nuances laid out in the open for all to see. It has a way of going through and painting them to be people with a disability that we are unable to understand because we feel like we have never been there. Though the moment you get to the ending when Jack says that he is leaving in the scene where they all flip out about it you start to get a glimpse of the motivations of the characters. The characters are all driven by want of relationship solidarity. It shows in the end when Jack, instead of being a caretaker, becomes a friend to Arnold and you hear the train announcer announce the stops to Russia. It is almost as if the writer is saying that this is what Arnold wanted the entire time, friendship, and the author shows that by telling the audience that he ended up going to Russia. Russia is a foreign land for him and so is his friendship with Jack.
