Discussion of the ending . . .
WARNING: "Discussion of ending" spoilers below
I saw no indication in the film that Mrs. Chan's son was by Mr. Chow. He never even kissed her and there weren't any hints (that I saw) of a sexual relationship. He admitted to her that he loved her but the she did not say that she loved him. But I am sure that she did love him. But then again, there seemed to be the very slightest (knowing?) smile on Mr. Chow's face when told near the end of the film that the new neighbors were a mother and small son -- a smile indicating that he knew who the neighbor was maybe? But was the smile also that he knew the child was his? Was this his secret that he left in the hole at Angkor Wat? Regardless, it is a beautiful film. Wong Kar-Wai seems to want us to derive our own conclusions.
