The film’s final shots are devastating and hopeful in equal measure. 9 looks up at the gray sky, which is beginning to show a sliver of blue. He is alone, but he is not hopeless. The rain falls on the empty burlap husks of his friends. He gathers them, and the talisman’s remains, and walks out into a world that can now begin again. The cycle of life has been reborn, not through technology or force, but through sacrifice and soul. The final image is of the tiny green plant, a single defiant stitch of life in a dead world.
