Closer how does it end

Looks like Dan could not stand Anna after she slept with Larry so she went back to Larry since she never turned in the divorce papers. But after the incident, Dan went to Larry 's office and begged him to "let" Anna return to him.

Question : Why did Alice tell Larry her real name, but she never told Dan? Answer: Probably because she knew Larry wouldn't believe her - would you believe someone as mysterious as Alice was actually called 'Jane Jones', especially when you think you know her name is actually Alice? Larry thought she was mocking him so it was safe to reveal this about herself, but her whole relationship with Dan was about keeping a part of her separate from him.

Answer: Every time she had pink hair, like in the beginning of the film and during her club scene, she was her true self. The other times were guilted facades of who she really was.

When they met, Alice had pink-reddish hair and lied about her name, after having seen the name in one of the tombstones at the cemetery. She met Dan in the beginning of the film, with said pink hair, and when asked she picked a name of a women who died helping three strangers in a fire. She trusted Larry more with her real self.

Question : Did Alice tell Dan the truth at the end? Did she really stop loving him that moment and for what? It wasn't the fact he played her, not telling that she new, because she told him it was over before he told her he knew. Answer: Earlier in the movie, Alice said, "I'm the one who leaves. I'm supposed to leave you. I'm the one who leaves. Dan has begun asking questions about Larry. She realises that he will not leave the issue alone. Even though he insists that the truth does not matter to him, he will not stop questioning her.

She wants to leave him before he can possibly change his mind and leave her. Over time, her encounter with Larry might have bothered him more and more. I know he wanted to go and talk to Anna, but since he almost gets into a car and then suddenly changes his mind, it seemed like he had just then decided to go and try to talk to Anna. Answer: Before Anna 's show, they were not arguing about Dan and Alice leaving the show together - they were arguing because Dan was travelling straight after the show and staying somewhere else overnight to be at his father's funeral.

Alice wanted to go to the funeral with him but Dan said he wanted to be alone. He looked like he was almost getting into a car because he was waiting until Alice's car was out of sight so she would not see him when he went back inside to speak to Anna. Question : Is there a connection or special meaning when Dan asks ' Alice ' during their last fight who she really is, and 'Alice' answers him "I'm nobody," and the fact that she is hiding her true identity as Jane Jones?

It is up to the audience to interpret why she did this. Answer: Anna says that Alice has "had quite a life" after she read Dan 's book that was based on Alice. Presumably Alice has been through difficult situations: abuse, neglect, etc.

She considers herself a "nobody" and enjoys lying as a form of control. Which is why she never told Dan her real name, or everything about herself. She could never trust anybody completely. She also says "I'm the one who leaves. Question : At the scene with Anna 's art show, what does Anna mean when she tells Larry that he is the cat who got the cream?

Answer: The saying, the cat who got the cream, means that someone is proud of something that they have done. Question : Is there a significance to Jane choosing Alice Ayer's name? As on the plaque she died to save 3 lives. Is this meant to draw another parallel comparison of her saving these 3 characters Anna , Larry , Dan? Answer: A possible parallel is that she sensed a chance to "save" Dan from his life, which he seemed to be bored with at the time.

Overall, though, she probably looked for a female name and chose one at random. She preferred keeping some secrets from Dan, never trusting him fully. Question : Two questions about the scene where Dan is talking to Larry online and pretending to be Anna. First, why did he want to set her up with someone if he wanted her? Also, how could he be sure that she would be at the aquarium at a certain time?

I know that he knew she liked to go there, but how could he be certain that whatever guy he played the trick on would meet her there? Answer: Dan did not know Anna would be there. This is revealed at the art exhibit when Anna tells Dan that she met Larry at the aquarium as well as their nickname for him - Cupid. He unwittingly created an obstacle for himself. He knew that Anna liked the aquarium, so if he chatted with multiple men on different days, there was a chance that Anna would actually be at the aquarium when a man arrived to meet her.

Answer: I think he set her up because he wanted to prank her for rejecting him. Just an unlucky fluke for the second part with them meeting up at the same time, I think. Or maybe 1pm is when she takes a break or gets off work at that time?

Who knows. Dan writes a novel based on his relationship with Alice, and has his book jacket photo taken by Anna, who he immediately desires. More time passes. Dan, who has been with Anna, impersonates a woman named "Anna" on a chat line, and sets up a date with Larry, a stranger. When Larry turns up as planned at the aquarium, Anna is there, but when he describes "their" chat, she disillusions him: "I think you were talking with Daniel Wolf. Eventually both men will have sex with both women, occasionally as a round trip back to the woman they started with.

There is no constancy in this crowd: When they're not with the one they love, they love the one they're with. It is a good question, actually, whether any of them are ever in love at all, although they do a good job of saying they are. They are all so very articulate, which is refreshing in a time when literate and evocative speech has been devalued in the movies. Their words are by Patrick Marber , based on his award-winning play. Consider Dan as he explains to Alice his job writing obituaries.

There is a kind of shorthand, he tells her: "If you say someone was 'convivial,' that means he was an alcoholic. Forced to rank the four characters in order of their nastiness, I would place Dr. Larry at the top of the list. He seems to derive genuine enjoyment from the verbal lacerations he administers, pointing out the hypocrisies and evasions of the others.

Dan is an innocent by comparison; he wants to be bad, but isn't good at it. Anna, the photographer, is accurately sniffed out by Alice as a possible lover of Dan. Alice seems the most innocent and blameless of the four until the very end of the movie, when we are forced to ask if everything she did was a form of stripping, in which much is revealed, but little is surrendered.

Larry, "but it's more fun if you do. Plus, it leaves the posibility for future cameos! The third victim had DNA evidence in her. Such a great show and a beautiful ending. Bravo to TNT for a great series and a perfect ending. So who is Brenda going to take with her? I noticed he is not in the Major Crimes photo. Instead …he gets promoted…. Thanks to all of the cast, and especially Miss Sedgwick for these entertaining and, often, thought-provoking episodes.

I had forgotten about it until your reminder. Thank you for sharing it. Betty McBroom — I thought the same thing when I first saw it, but I think it might have been excluded from evidence because she took it forcibly. Are there any lawyers out there who can verify this? I thought this was fitting as well since she admitted to him that she should have listened to him about the Baylor thing. She should have been there for him.

She has also relied on him so much throughout the show. He was the first one to support her. Thanks for the review. No weaping at the beginning. It was solely the last episode with an ending similar to some many others. Still Brenda Leigh moves on. The story arc is complete, but we are saddened by her departure. Maybe a cameo or two on Major Crime. Is she the producer on that show as well? Hope springs eternal. We all mourn the end of this series. It was written so well and acted to the level of the writing.

We can only hope that Major Crimes rises to this level. I want so much to like it almost as much. And if not, maybe Brenda Leigh will be drafted back to correct the failures while bending the law so that it works for justice. ThaMadMutt — the co-creator, exec producer says there is a possibility that Brenda will show up some day in Major Crimes. What a brilliant actress she is! Able to portray brilliant, quirky, funny, angry but always sincere. All the emotions that made Brenda so loveable.

Fortunately, in the UK we still have some episodes to go. RonMorgans — Lucky! I just got to see the finale. Kjs — she takes Gabriel with her.

Taylor gets promoted to Assistant Chief and Pope gets bumped up to Chief. Corey Reynolds, Gabriel, has a talent holding deal wtih NBC for an unnamed series and Pope is in a new show this fall. You are so right. Brenda was a force the likes not seen in any of the police shows. She is going to be missed mightly. Your email address will not be published.
