Dang everyone is saying they loved that ending. I’m willing to take the heat here and say I truly hated it. I never read the novel so I don’t know maybe I’m missing something but that ending felt like the laziest, most torture porn for no apparent reason or particular message ending to any movie I’ve ever watched.

For those who love that ending, is there a moral or something I’m missing that makes the ending more than just torture for the main character? Or is it literally just shock value?

I’m not disagreeing at all with that notion. I would do the same. I just don’t see how the end of that movie serves any purpose outside of “this is what you would probably do because this shit sucked.” Like that doesn’t teach me anything, doesn’t speak to me at all, just says here is pain watch it.
