I don't think it's realistic that Doctor Lin would be part of the heart transplant discussion. I mean, seriously, his brother is a candidate for a heart transplant, and they are letting him decide who gets the heart? That's a major conflict of interest and has big lawsuit potential.
The actress playing the woman with Alzheimer's is so good! The way she goes from lucid to confused, the way she has all the nervous ticks, and mostly the way she suddenly gets angry and lashes out. I'm sure she has had this terrible illness in her family, because everything she does is spot on.
Whats your interpretation? Open ending bothers me so much!
I don't think they killed her, I think it was only a scratch because Makoto couldn't do it. You can see from the few droplets blood on the floor. If he really shot her in the head, there would be blood all over the place. And how she's sitting alone at the end: shegot her life but she lost her little brothers. The scene with the parents that most viewers see as a macabre reunion: I think it's closure.
I have a different interpretation of the ending than what I've read other people think. I wonder if the idea was to leave it up to the viewers to decide. I can appreciate that murky approach, but I do like more concrete endings.
This is interesting to me because I myself had a rough childhood. I always thought that professionals were too hasty in labeling kids that aren't "normal" and far too quick in medicating them. So I like the dramas approach of gentle understanding. But a kid who gets violent tantrums all the time? I don't know if a gentle touch is enough here. Surely there has to be a middle ground between filling a kid with psychiatric drugs and art therapy.
