![]() ![]() He ceases to be sympathetic, the viewer ceases to feel bad for him, and the message of the film gives way to muddled anarchy. You completely rob the film of its impact because you turn Derek into a character whose transformation in prison no longer mattered. But tacking on an ending of him reverting to his evil ways is Saturday morning cartoon quality writing. He will have to go through life knowing he didn't turn it around in time to save his brother. ![]() He doesn't change back to hate because that's what got him there in the first place, but he doesn't have anything to show for his transformation either. It's very much like a modern Greek tragedy in this way, and for that feeling to be consistent, you have to imagine Derek's final point of development in his arc is knowing he was wrong but having been too late to do anything about it. He knows at that point that what he was doing was wrong, but there is one final punch to the gut he must receive for having left his mark on the world. The movie's conclusion is supposed to leave Derek punished for his sins one final time. The idea that Derek would go through that change in prison and then just give it up again in the end feels like a cheap gimmick. I've read about this ending before and the tone of it is all wrong for the movie to me. What do you think of this ending? Has Derek reformed enough not to go back to his old ways, or do you think it's more realistic that he goes back to it? ![]() The film ends on a shot of Derek's sick smile, the same smile we saw when he was arrested for his murders earlier in the film.' Derek is stood there with his head shaved - he stares in the mirror and looks at the swastika on his chest, before pulling out a pistol. We see the sink filled with hair and an electric razor next to it. The camera then pans away and cuts to a scene in the bathroom. In Kaye's version, after this we are taken to a scene in the family apartment where the detectives are trying to comfort Danny's grieving mother and sister. 'The original film ends after Danny (Edward Furlong) is shot by a black student (whose brother was killed by Derek (Edward Norton) earlier in the film).
