Everyone sees the end and asks: So did they escape the cycle?
Maybe it came out, maybe not... The plot is brain-burning, suitable for looping!
As mentioned above, at the end of the film, one of the most troubled questions for everyone is:
Has the protagonist escaped the death cycle?
In fact, not only movies, but also dramas like horror movies in life.

Still involuntary, still in an infinite loop, spinning in place.
