Cure (1997) Explained: The Ending You Missed

Описание: Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cure (1997) is often compared to Se7en or Silence of the Lambs, but it is a completely different beast. It is a film that doesn't just scare you; it infects you. Today, we dive deep into the original meaning of the film (Dendoushi), the hidden timeline of Mamiya’s "mission," and the terrifying implication of the final scene.
In this analysis, I break down why Cure is widely misunderstood by audiences looking for a standard police procedural. We discuss the mesmerizing direction, the use of long takes to lower your attention span, and the specific clues—like Mamiya’s 1-year rent payment—that prove the transfer of the "Vessel" was planned from the start.
We also explore the controversial ending: Did Takabe kill his wife? What happened to the waitress? And why is this film a masterpiece of J-Horror?
