Gravity

[Slim]

The director has said that it was a difficult scene, as it needed to ... Maybe it wasn't as successful as the director hoped.

I think that's where this comes from, I think the directors intentions were that 'that scene' was a threshold where the character finally lets go of the tragedy and emerges from grief finally. But I think that's done in such a way that it could mean

that she committed suicide successfully and that ending isn't a rebirth, it's her passage into the afterlife

. I don't really know if this was intentionally ambiguous, but I like the fact that it is, especially in such a silly film.

Re Ender. Having read the book many times over many years, I'm scared to watch it. Imagination can be so much better than film. And it's going to leave out a lot of the stuff about characters' and society's motivations.

Exactly, it's a book that largely takes place inside an unusual mind that it simply can't make it to the big screen. I'll give it a go though just to check.
