Monster 2023 - How About The Ending?

 Is They Still Alive?

Hi all today I wanna talk about a hit film by Kore Eda Hirokazu, actually his film it's not only Monster he already make film like Nobody Knows, Distance, Shoplifters, I wish and many more so yeah.. please enjoy my review~

Monster is a complex and compelling film that explores the themes of bullying, homophobia, family dysfunction, and social media. The film tells the story of a single mother, Saori, who suspects her son, Minato, is being abused by his teacher, Hori. However, as the film unfolds, we discover that there is more to the situation than meets the eye, and that both Minato and Hori are victims of a monstrous system that silences and oppresses them.

The film is well-acted by the cast, especially Sakura Ando as Saori, who portrays a mother’s love and desperation with nuance and emotion. Eita Nagayama as Hori also delivers a convincing performance as a teacher who tries to protect his students, but ends up being scapegoated and vilified. The film also features a haunting score by the late Ryuichi Sakamoto, who passed away shortly before the film’s release.

Monster is a film that challenges the viewer to question their assumptions and prejudices, and to empathize with the characters who are trapped in a web of lies and violence. The film does not offer easy answers or resolutions, but rather invites the viewer to reflect on the nature of justice and compassion in a society that creates monsters out of its most vulnerable members. Monster is a film that deserves to be seen and discussed by anyone who cares about human rights and dignity

The ending of Monster is ambiguous and open to interpretation. 

Some viewers might think that Minato and Yori, the two main characters, survived the fire and escaped from their abusive situations. Others might think that they died in the fire and their final scene was a symbolic representation of their freedom and happiness. The film does not give a clear answer, but rather leaves it to the viewer to decide what happened to them12.

I think the ending is meant to show the contrast between the harsh reality and the hopeful imagination of the characters. Minato and Yori created their own secret world in the tunnel, where they felt safe and loved. They also dreamed of going to a faraway place, where they could be free from the monsters that tormented them. The film suggests that their dreams might be the only way they can cope with their trauma and find some peace.
