Anyone Can Die: Most of the named characters fail to outlive the credits. Charles survives for sure, but James on the other hand... | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| A War Named Desire / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: By the end of the movie, whether James dies from his injuries or not, and what will happen to Charles and James from then on, is never made clear. The last time audience sees them, they are Driving off into the sunset and then the film ends. | |

Conspicuously Public Assassination | |
| A War Named Desire / int_6da4d56e | comment |
Conspicuously Public Assassination: Snow’s assassination of Henry takes place in the middle of Bangkok’s Songkran Festival, in the midst of a massive parade where she stabs him from up close. It helps that she’s wearing the same attire as Thai local ladies and have an umbrella obscuring her hands when she stabbed him. | |
