Whether Jin died or not, I found the end to be very emotional and it ranks up there with when Charlie died. I have come to really like Jin's character and I love the fact that he didn't freak out and revert to his old self when he learned that Sun had an affair.<br><br>So, is Jin alive or dead? If he is dead, the date on the gravestone could make sense. Per Jack's testimony at Kate's trial, the lie the Oceanic 6 have been telling is that most of the survivors died with the plane. I can't remember though, did he say there were 8 people that initially survived and two later died?<br><br>Then again, maybe Jin was forced to stay on the island so that Sun could leave and avoid the mysterious illness that pregnant women suffer from on the island.<br><br>I think the ship has been out there for a LONG time.

Moreover, Gyllenhaal's performance could have made a difference in this area had he showed some emotion.<br><br>I think the filmmakers were trying to keep open the slight possibility that Anwar may have been a terrorist or sympathizer until Gyllenhaal's character Googles the information he provided. That was a mistake on their part. They should have made it absolutely clear from the start that he was innocent. <br><br>That being said, I still disagree about the questioning issue. They asked him about the ATF and he gave them names. He passed a polygraph. The agent who questioned him initially believed he was innocent after extensive questioning. When they ask him about the one specific individual who they have information about, (the individual who allegedly made calls to his phone) he answered honestly - he didn't know who it was.<br><br>Like the character in the movie, I would have a really hard time giving up information about family and friends, who I believe are innocent, to people who so easily made me disappear. That was the point of the exchange regarding Anwar's uncle. If they can do it to him, who's to say his uncle, other family members or friends aren't next?<br> <br>Like I said, the filmmakers made some mistakes, but I think it gets its point across regarding due process and torture, which is the most important thing in a film of this nature.<br><br><em>Steven's last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FlicksLists/~3/258550427/" rel="nofollow">Top 100 Movies: Mars, Sir Anthony, and Mel</a></em>StevenWed, 02 Apr 2008 09:27:51 -0000http://popcritics.disqus.com/jay_leno_continues_to_suck/#comment-1330460Agreed Mike, but did you ever seen the exchange between Letterman and Harvey Pekar of American Splendor fame (see the movie - it's pretty good)?
