The film’s final twist is the final freeze frame, a smiling Lockhart with all of his teeth intact. Verbinski has spoken about the film’s dream logic, that certain things are unknowable.
No entanto, se você estiver interessado na opinião de Dane DeHaan:
But I was curious if DeHaan had a theory about his character’s swift dental recovery?
“That’s the one thing in the movie I didn’t have to think about in terms of what it means, what it represents,” says DeHaan, “because it’s the end of the movie. Gore and I tried a couple different things, and I think it’s cool because it’s one last surprise, and it’s one last question, and it’s why the cure has side effects and will linger. And it will cause conversations, because [...] there is a surprise in this movie around every corner up until the very last second.”
