    In Infinity Pool, a couple are enjoying an all-inclusive beach vacation, when a fatal accident exposes the resort's perverse subculture of hedonistic tourism, reckless violence and surreal horrors. That's only scratching the surface of the madness in our story, and in the end we are left with man questions about what it all means. We're breaking down the story, its important themes of identity and how it pertains to James, as well as explaining the ending.

    I interpreted his staying on the island as a little more symbolic when I first watched it. Even though he could physically go back to his normal life, he was mentally trapped on the island after the traumatic experience.
    Plus it doesn't seem very logistically likely for him to get back to the compound and into the closed hotel.

      I was hoping he goes home and sees one of the clones already there, having taken over his life. Bc maybe the clone thought he was the original and maybe the one we see isn’t even the original.
      I wish they would have went deeper into the whole “which one is the real one” or at least had the clones screaming and confused and thinking and acting like THEY are the real ones and what’s happening why are they the ones being locked up etc etc
      The whole “what does it mean to be you” existential rabbit hole.

    As a Fijian, seeing different cultures in the Island is very accurate, Even though we are situated in Micronesia, most of the population is familiar with Traditional Fijian culture, Indian culture (Due to Britain importing slaves from India), Western Culture (Colonialism) and Chinese Culture ( Due to the Chinese debt traps that give them ownership of some parts of the Island). This is also pretty similar to Island counties in Polynesia as well.

      Hey, I know it's off topic, but those debt traps are real right? Most people in the western world insist that they aren't debt traps and that the Chinese aren't buying up the third world. I'm pretty sure that they are, but it's hard to know anything for sure from behind a computer screen on the other side of the world... Again, sorry to bother you about this on a random movie video, but Americans need to know about this shit. It's not foreign aid if they are buying land and people, its colonization.

I look at the ending as you can take that final shot in a few different ways whether it’s a clone that he sent back or a clone that’s there, I read it as mentally what happened at the resort will always stick with him and he’s crushed from it. Another interesting thing is I believe there is actually a law in some country where you can pay someone to substitute your jail sentence for you.
