Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon ending and credits

There`s been a lot of different takes on this scene, but my personal one is that it was the only way for them to be truly `back in the desert` aging. For instance, Jen had inadvertently killed Li Mu Bai, ruined her marriage and parents reputations, stripped Yu Shu Lien of her lover, misused the green destiny... not things easily mended! They couldn`t hide out in Wudan forever; however painful, this was the only way things could go back to being the way they were `in the desert.`

this is seriously one of the most important scenes in the last ten years of cinema. everything about this scene is beautiful, and it's one of the best tie-ins ever, i think. soft visuals + musical score + great narrative tie-in = one of the best endings ever

Suicide. LIKE A BOSS.

If you're really curious why she jumped there is an explanation of the full Crane - Iron Pentalogy (of which Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is the 4th Book) at the link below:

SUBLIME

One of best endings ever,and I think it's open to the spectator the interpretation of Jen's act..

@padouke this is a very deep scene.. the result is up to the viewer how you see Jen as.. that's genius.. and the Tan Dun music in the backdrop is just perfection.. i guess im always marveled by great films beautifully written.. this movie didn't get the full credit it deserves.. just my opinion tho..

@TheLydianRocks Not to mention Stole the green destiny TWICE

[TheLydianRocks]

@DeathShamans She was no heroine, she had caused untold suffering in so many ways that it would be inappropriate for her to suddenly be a hero, she disrespected mu bi so many times it even led to his death, betrayed her mother, her lover, shamed her parents and husband, took yu's lover away from her when they were about to be together. Should she be made a hero just because shes a woman? Men who do as much as this in tales usually end up dead or the wicked emperor :d

@rannierunsfast when he said "I want to be back in the desert", that technically means she died and went to the desert?

[rannierunsfast]

@TheGSPFilms1 This is just based on my own interpretation, but I think Jen couldn't live with what she had done, so a normal life is no longer an option. Unlike the boy in the story who didnt die and had his wish granted, I think Jen died. Its an open minded ending, so I guess anything couldve happened, its up to you to decide.
