In the last scene of the movie, the light is the barely there cold blue that it is when the world first realizes that the sun is coming back. The train tracks traversing the river haven’t even started to run across into the city.

In the last scene of the movie, you are standing on the bank of this river along with the antagonist, who is pointing a gun at you. You are having a conversation, perfectly gentlemanly, about why everything happened. He is wearing a khaki trenchcoat and is most likely a government official. You are wearing what you have been wearing for the past 72 hours, which is a tattered suit and a harried expression on your face.

In the last scene of the movie, there is a secret that is begging you to let it out to the world, and the antagonist is here to make sure that doesn’t happen. Hence the gun.

In the last scene of the movie, something totally totally unexpected happens. You find out that you are the one behind the conspiracy you are trying to unmask, your father is the one holding the gun, this whole thing is bigger than you ever could have imagined and has infiltrated to the highest levels of government, it’s too late – something along those lines. After this first unexpected thing happens, a second unexpected thing happens. The antagonist lowers his gun, is shot himself, or turns the gun on himself. This is the sort of thing that happens in the last scene of a movie.

The sun starts to rise, the horizon starts to pink up, and you realize that your life has changed forever. The world, as you knew it, is now a different world. You are a better person for it, of course, because that’s just what happens in the last scene of the movie.

You turn your gaze to the bridges spanning the river and the first trains start to cross over into the city, full of the first shipment of commuters. In the last scene of the movie, the train’s windows are full and bright, with faces studiously reading their newspapers, oblivious to the world that has changed around them as they got ready for work that morning, laced their shoes, zipped up their skirts.

The wheels clack against the track and the sound echoes over the water. In the last scene of the movie, you are no longer standing on the river bank. This is how the movie ends.
