I felt like the movie was underwhelming until the very last scene. Wow. This truly is a film where you don't know what it all led up to until the very end, when you realize that we are all part of a grand cycle in love and death. Orpheus' prophecy in his replacement becomes fulfilled only when he dies with Eurydice, and the cycle repeats itself. Through love we can face death, and from death comes in new life. I absolutely love just how pure and joyous the ending scene is, the children dance in pure joy as the new Orpheus brings in a new day. The old has gone, and the new has come. Let us celebrate!
