1. Ending? (Spoilers) - Animal Kingdom (2010) Discussion | MovieChat
It means J has chosen his place in the animal kingdom, by sabotaging the trial, and then taking the matter in his own hands by killing Pope himself.
I am a bit confused by the ending. My interpretation is that J shot Pope because he tore the family apart and killed his girlfriend. Darren doesn't seem upset more shocked than anything and Smurf was obviously upset seeing as she didn't embrace J when he was holding her. Her hands were sort of frozen. I feel like she's torn because she must obviously care for her boys.
Just curious on your take of the ending.

While revisiting David Michôd's "Animal Kingdom" (2010), I wondered what it was like for its passive teenager hero to live with his heroin addict mother at their small home. We can only assume that she definitely could not get the Mother of the Year award, considering the mundane but eerie opening sequence. It's around afternoon, and her son is watching some TV show, and she seems to be asleep next to him on couch - but we soon learn she died from an overdose.
