Even if it's a pity for its ending, starting from the movie itself, this is undoubtedly the best ending. If it becomes a happy end, it goes against the background of the film and the theme the film wants to express. (Actually, I have never been able to understand what the film is trying to express. Is it an expression of calling for the freedom of lesbians? Or at least to criticize the intolerance of homosexuality in the society at that time? In the end, Keren looked into the distance with his head held high and strode forward. Does the shot that he walks out have any meaning to express? But Keren is not a homosexual in it, so looking into the distance with such confidence does not seem to mean a revelation for the future path of homosexuals.)
But after all, this is a Sad ending. After reading it, one can't help but make some other possible assumptions about the plot. And the most important thing is that the old lady finally confessed to Keren and Martha after knowing the truth. Of course, drama needs to be arranged in a more dramatic way. As soon as Martha finished her confession, you came to the door and said that all of this was a lie, which really made people unable to avoid death. I saw some netizens say before, why do you want to commit suicide? Joe is gone, so it's not time to be with Keren. This kind of thinking is probably a child with relatively simple feelings, who has not been able to understand and understand Martha. The previous comments explained this very well. Although the lie was exposed, Martha has confessed to Keren that their relationship has no way to return to the past.
And when I got here, I thought that what really killed Martha was not a confession, but a contradiction. Before the world thought they were gay, Martha made her confession against that backdrop. But suddenly the world found that they misunderstood them, which means that the outside world no longer thinks they are gay, and the relationship with the outside world can go back to the past, but as mentioned above, Martha and Keren can't go back to the past because of their confession. This has become an irreconcilable contradiction. Martha was driven to a dead end by this contradiction.
But to reconcile this contradiction, in addition to the inside, it can also be reconciled from the outside, that is to say, from the outside. Since Martha and Keren can't go back to the past, why don't the outsiders go back to the past? Let the outside continue to indulge in lies and identify them as gay.
There are two possible hypotheses I imagine. (As mentioned earlier, as this movie, such an ending is perfect, any assumptions are inappropriate, and it is for entertainment.) 1. Keren responds to Martha when she goes to Martha's room after the old lady is gone, soothes She, said love her, (and if it was a modern lily movie, it would definitely be... ). Maybe that would save Martha from committing suicide and live with Keren. However, Keren's response is unlikely, and her comfort with Martha shows that she still sees Martha as a friend.
Another assumption is that the lies will never be exposed and the world will always see them as gay. In this case, Keren had to seek Martha's company with himself in the dark. Martha has always been in love with Keren, and she will not leave her when Keren is in a difficult time, but will arouse her desire to survive to protect Keren. If it goes on like this, there is a high possibility that Keren actually falls in love with Martha as a lover unknowingly. Although there will still be many difficulties in life, I think it is at least a happy end.
Without a lie, Keren will be happy (Martha is unknown); with a lie, it is possible for Martha and Keren to be together (happy end for the audience); with a lie and then rehabilitated, Martha will commit suicide and Keren is unknown. It seems that when it comes to love, I am not afraid of making mistakes, but I am afraid of tossing and turning.
