Ending too drawn out/unrealistic

It would have been better if he was already dead when reaching the unit in the forest. The night town being symbolic of a journey through hell and the song (which is about going to heaven) being an allusion to his death/afterlife. None of the finding the other brother or halting an attack was necessary.

The death could have occurred anywhere between his first gunfight to the rapids and waterfall. It is highly unlikely to survive rapids or falling over waterfalls in the first place.

Also annoyed how coincidentally the water somehow took him to exactly where he needed to be.

I like your ending, but they were clearly going for the realistic approach, so the unrealistic, unimportant ending they gave us is the result.

I was actually hoping they just would ignore him, that makes a much better statement about wwi than anything.

I was thinking that after he was knocked out and lost so very much blood that everything else was just a dream of how he thought things were going to turn out, but those things never happened actually.
