Beckett

In the final moments of Beckett, after chaos erupts in the streets following the murder of the political leader Karras, Beckett finds himself in pursuit of the female shooter and Officer Xenakis. As he’s about to escape, he comes across a car with Dimos Karras, the kidnapped nephew of Karras, inside. Despite his own feelings of guilt and despair, Beckett chooses to save Dimos rather than escape into safety. His act of bravery is a way for him to atone for the tragedy of April’s death, which he still blames himself for. Beckett’s final words, “I should have died,” reflect his deep guilt and sense of despair, suggesting he believes his life is irredeemable. By rescuing Dimos, Beckett is attempting to find some form of redemption and peace. This act also symbolizes that, despite everything, Beckett still has the capacity for goodness and courage. His choice to save the boy serves as a subtle rejection of the darkness and chaos that had consumed him throughout his journey. Ultimately, Beckett’s self-sacrifice is a poignant act of redemption, aiming to right some of the wrongs in his mind and perhaps find peace with his grief. The ending leaves room for interpretation but emphasizes that even amid despair, a spark of hope and humanity remains.
