![]() Ray doesn't have a solid grip on reality, so I'm wondering if he'll still see that as the corrupt world trying to gaslight him. Or someone will ask about the live (or maybe dying and on the way to death) patient in the backseat, and the two dead bodies in the trunk. You have to imagine the police will show up at some point. At the beginning of the movie, he’s browbeaten and down. He wants to be a father and husband who did the right thing. He’s just a guy that wants to be a good dad. I find the ending to be sad and tragic, but it’s also poignant, too. Maybe there’s a little bit of that going on here. We just want to gloss them over and put them aside. We all do that to a certain degree in our lives. Depending on how bleak of an outlook you have on things, you can say better that he live in self-delusion, which is better than him living in reality. That’s the question at the end of the movie. I wonder if he will wake up to the truth or not. ![]() The director talked about the question Fractured leaves fans with at the end of the movie: In the script, it ends with, ‘Ray drives off into the sunset with his family.’ But I wanted to add a little of (what you just said) ambiguity for his character. ‘I did it! I saved them from the bad guys at the hospital.’ But then we kept it rolling, and in the last frames, you start to see his face fall, like it just dawned on him. It’s a sense of accomplishment and being a hero. The last frame of the movie is a close up of Ray’s face after he’s just sung a song to his child in the backseat and his wife. While at Fantastic Fest, director Brad Anderson - who previously directed The Machinist, Session 9, and Beirut - talked to Fresh Fiction about the ending and the choice of that final shot. But then his face gets a darker look for the last frame - a screenshot of that look is posted in the photo above.įractured premiered at Fantastic Fest in September before its October 11 debut on Netflix. 5 Robert Downey Jr.The end shot of Fractured initially shows a closeup of Ray smiling, after looking through the rear-view mirror and seeing his imagined wife smile at him and say let's go home.3%, Occupied, Harlots, and Other Streaming Recommendations.5 British TV Comedies On Netflix You Should Bloody Well Watch: Our Streaming Recommendations.5 Documentary Series To Watch On Netflix: Our Streaming Recommendations. ![]()
