I've seen it at least 10 times and haven't yet decided what the ending means to me! |

When i finally saw it it always struck me as a dark film that transcends the old U certificate it had at the time, nothing is really disturbing if you take the film on face value alone but once you sit and watch the film it is truly unnerving.
I love it and i have my own idea of what it all means but having said that it should have been tightened up to the last half of the film, the first hour or so is pretty dull.  |
Is the end meant to be philosophical and watching the rebirth of mankind...or something like that??
