Questions:
  • how do we end the film? what do we want the audience to think?
  • is the figure Rachel + Danny follow really their mum?
  • do we want the film to have a 'happy' ending?
  • do we want the ending to be more open, or ambiguous, so the audience has to decide what happens afterwards?
  • do we show Mr Farnaca at the end?
  • does David Farnaca have magic powers?
