: The film is based on a piece of literature that has him actually evading prison and starting a new life as was described in the movie.
: Leaving it up to the viewer is a nice twist...
I saw it night before last. I fucking LOVED the mirror scene.. Very powerful.. And at the end, I was hoping it would go through that whole thing about starting a new life.. But then cut back to the car and have them not turning off the highway or passing a sign that said (Insert Prison Name) 15 Miles. Or something like that.. Just to give the viewer the impression that he's going away but then throw that thing called reality (well.. reality in the movie) back in their faces where they then realize that this happy new life hasn't started yet and then have them just go on to prison.. Wow.. I'm rambling.. So I'm going to shut up now.. But I thought it was great.. Not quite what I expected from a Spike Lee 'Joint'.. Far better actualy.
