And if Mud really died, he will never know one way or the other. And these two alternate endings about worldly reality parallel a pair about ultimate reality: supposing he really did die, did he come home to heaven, or, is there no such thing, and death shows us what we ultimately will become, food for worms or fishes? So there are three alternate endings, really, even if they boil down to two if oblivion makes all merely worldly happy endings pointless.
We should not take this glance as authoritative. As I showed in my last post on MUD, Galen is the character with the particularly reductive view of love. This parallels the way his mindset is disposed against the reality of love. But it cannot be ruled out, which is the main reason why that weird flash of a scene has to be there. If resurrection is suggested, it would be the one of all believers, connected to the sacrament and symbolism of baptism.

Where are you with that idea? Did you ever write that script? There's no script for it, but I'm still It's really funny, I'm still emailing with the author of the book that inspired it, and I still think about it all the time.
In fact, I mentioned it in a bar in Memphis when we were shooting this [short film], and Mike was sitting next to me, and he was like, "You've been talking about that damn idea for so long. You're never gonna make that shit. It's a great idea. I think I'm real intimidated by it, you know? And I haven't quite found my way into it. Because you got Sons of Anarchy and all this stuff, which is a show I don't watch, so it's not fair for me to judge it one way or another.
But this movie's not that. Which is not fair, because I haven't seen Maybe it is, but I don't think so. I've watched some trailers and stuff for those shows. And that's not to say those shows are bad, it's they're not what I'm thinking about doing. But at the same time, it's tricky making a biker movie. It's tricky. It's this weird thing where I don't want to just glorify it, but at the same time, there's something so glorious about what they're doing, and beautiful and free.
Like all of those things And they're not affectations, they're real. All the things that biker culture And what I'm talking about making a movie about is, it's transition from this golden age of where it was less criminal and it was more just a place for outsiders to gather, but then how that kind of morphed and turned into somewhat more of a criminal organization.
So it's [a matter of] how to treat them, because they're not always doing good things, and how to not make that too beautiful and fun. How to make the right parts beautiful, and all that is about, I think, how we view them. Who the point of view character in that film is. And I've got ideas, two different ideas. But also, it doesn't take place in the south, it takes place in the Midwest. Let us take you through a short summary of the movie first before we get into details about that hopeful ending that feels like a new beginning.
Ellis and Neckbone are best friends who live in a small riverside town in rural Arkansas. One day, the boys take a boat out to a remote island in the Mississippi where they find a small cabin cruiser miraculously stuck high up in a tree. Thinking that the boat was maybe carried to the tree by a flood, the boys decide to claim ownership of it, to use as an instant treehouse, before they find that someone else is already living there.
A man — dirty, rugged, and seemingly dangerous — has been squatting in the boat. His name is Mud and he is apparently waiting for the love of his life to join him there so that they can run away together.
Ellis and Neckbone start by bringing the starving Mud cans of food but soon he has them doing heftier tasks and errands. After rushing Ellis to the hospital and stealing a last look at Juniper, Mud returns to the island and gets the boat onto the water successfully. Did Mud die? I ask because I can't figure out if the ending really happened or if that was Mud's version of Heaven.
Replies 6. Options Top. I thought it was Mud swimming by. Replies 0. I guess he saw him, and possibly rescued him. I never thought they explained the uncle very well. He sees the boys on the island, but never actually confronts them about it. Just asks if they need to tell him anything. Then they have the scene at the end.
Did he help Mud too? How did Mud get to the island in the first place?
