Well, I found this shot less of a problem. But, it is still wide open for
debate. I agree with Sean that after the execution the three dead people
represented the viloence against individuals--some innocent, some not.
Remember, Penn's last words were something like: "Killing's wrong--whether
by me or you--or the government." Then, Robbins gives us that final shot. I
believe it worked as a final testament. But, again, that's how I saw it.
