I didn't think that through. Althought while Bell might regain his faith, the audience would still know that it was just a random freak accident. I don't think it would be enough to make us think that there is justice in this film. Maybe ironic, random and chaotic justice at best. The audience might think that, but Bell would not and I think that makes all the difference. But as an audience, we are meant to see that Anton did not die, and that tells us that there is no justice for wrong/evil-doers; which leads to Bell's final remarks. I personally don't think it was a freak accident, but had a point in the movie. That even when he's hurt and crippled, he still gets away. Quote: But the film is more consistent if Bell shares the same view that the audience shares. I don't know how the audience's view comes into this. The audience cannot share its view to the movie, but the movie can share its view to the audience (which is the whole point most of the time). I'm not understanding what you mean by that. |
