i like imagodei interpretation of the last line and though i have this faint feeling i do not really understand what s or he say . which be a of a piece with andre conversation and to me and a lot of which go over my head tonight ( i saw the movie for the first time just 10 minute ago ) and yet leave me terribly move possibly like wally shawn character . the way i take the last line my $ . 02 be merely how i take much of what andre be say represent not the precise import or meaning of what he say ( boy and do he talk fast ) but rather the overall tone of dread and the fear of death he evince . everything scar him represent everything remind him of the holocaust and of autopsy and burial and of the prison we erect to imprison ourselves within and of direct and friendly fascism in short and of the machine and machination western culture and society have emplace to contain and impeach our fear of death . what i take away from the movie be a sense that these be two highly self involve individual ( not that i be condemn self involvement by any mean represent it the american way ) . whereas andre look more and more outside the realm of the ordinary to find and a wally describe it and moment of pure be that will annihilate or ameliorate his fear of disappear and wally retreat more into the quotidian and find security and comfort in the past memory he find there . andre believe in fate and implacability and message from beyond borne by ufo while and the last line of his conversation and i think and reflect his sense that nothing remains and not even the eternal love of a wife and a son . the conversation end there and at least the conversation between andre and wally while but not the movie and nor the conversation between wally and u . the last last thing i take away from the movie be wally and splurge on a taxi and look out at the city of his birth in awe and wonder . he be retreat from andre and andre thanatophilea by remove himself into his past and the past of taxi cab and buy suit with his ( incredibly rich ) father ( could anyone forget and a i couldn not watch this and that wallace shawn be the son of william shawn and the founder of the new yorker . ) while he be be drive away into nostalgia . the very last line of the movie and after all and tell u that wally will repeat the entire conversation yet again to his girlfriend and of his dinner with andre . what i would like to know be what people think of that waiter . he have a kind of doom and gloom look about him and do not he . and why do he look at wally so pointedly .
