How Does Blossoms Of The White Night End?

Just finished most of Blossoms of the White Night but the final twists with the conspiracy and the lovers' fate completely threw me. Feeling emotionally exhausted and need the ending explained.

I've yet to finish reading 'Blossoms of the White Night', but apparently the way the story of the main couple ends is very bittersweet and poetic. Some readers can appreciate that, while others, however, will probably find the ending too abrupt after all the hardships the two main characters had to go through. I can relate to this discussion about the tough ending of a book, because just the other day I finished reading another story, ‘The Moon God’s Bride’. The ending of this book is focused on the mortal protagonist’s sacrifice in order to cut his ties with a divine being. This is very difficult for both the protagonist and the god involved, but in the end it is necessary for the god to confront his own immortality and coldness. The ending therefore feels earned, because the whole story up to that point was building up to that moment of great pain and hardship.

I’m expecting a lot of plot wrapping up at the end of ‘Blossoms of the White Night’ but instead the film goes for poetic realism. We see the two main characters in the movie as the dawn of ‘white night’ transitions into the ordinary daylight of a new day and rather than going off together in search of urban legends, they are on opposite sides of town. One of them goes off to follow his dream and past plans that he had put off in order to care for a family member and the other finds peace doing nothing at all in the city. The cinematography was amazing as the ‘white night’ did a great job of transitioning to daylight and showed the two characters finding acceptance in ordinary life. I also have to give props to the ending for another reason as the way the train tickets for the two characters looked in the ending were the same as the tickets that one of the characters had been using to lie to the other about his plans in an earlier scene.

What I like most about the end is that it doesn’t judge either character for their choices, and as a result, leaving isn’t portrayed as a cowardly escape, and staying isn’t portrayed as a lowering of one’s standards. The soundtrack, in this scene, utilizes a really haunting piano theme that is still stuck in my head to this day. Honestly, this scene must have been an inspiration to the director of ‘Blossoms’ as it has a huge Wong Kar-wai influence to it.

'Blossoms of the White Night' ends on a note so unobtrusively wonderful that you may miss it. All that absolutely surreal and just-about-to-scream OTHERWISE sequence after sequence could have gone on forever, but instead the hero simply wakes up one morning to find his tiny apartment is filled with sunlight. No more endless nights, no more weird metaphors for anything. Instead he heads for the kitchen and begins to make himself a cup of coffee, to return to his daily routine with all the characteristics of it unchanged. But with one exception: his expression has changed. And it is in that expression, in that simple hand hesitating before flipping the switch to turn on the stove, that we find the entire movie. It reminds me of how we tend to think that moments of huge realization will be loud ones – but the moments that really do stick are, virtually without exception, almost indistinguishable from whispers of insight.

I just watched “Blossoms of the White Night,” and it was a really satisfying but also kind of sad movie, like finishing a good cup of tea and then realizing there’s none left. The main character spent years searching for a number of answers to questions about his past, and in the end he gets most of them. The biggest question was about the famous “White Night” of BD (Before the Deluge), a mysterious night of wonderful events that no one can quite describe. In the end, the answer is not some huge spectacular, but rather a peaceful moment under a grove of cherry blossoms, falling around him as he comes to terms with his past guilt. The side characters also got to tie up some loose ends in a sort of bittersweet way. And especially his childhood friend, who also had a lot of unresolved feelings for the main character. What I liked most about the way this was all resolved is that it portrayed closure not as a place but as a season – something you have to appreciate while it lasts.

It also had a pretty great post-credits scene! A single shot of a bench of two people from the film, all covered in falling cherry blossom petals. No words are spoken, just the quiet rustling of the wind. I appreciate that the director leaves it to the audience to interpret whether or not the two characters have reunited, or if they’re simply moving on from each other. In any case, I immediately went back to watch the whole thing again in order to catch all of the subtle foreshadowing that I had entirely missed the first time.

The ending of volume 8 of Aria split the fandom wide open. Readers who were firmly on the Kaelen/Aria ship felt validated by the book’s subtle but hopeful ending, while those who were on the Arion/Aria bandwagon felt completely and utterly betrayed. The action-heroical knight of the book, who in the previous volume had sacrificed himself to save Aria from being stuck in free fall had been completely written out of the final volume, receiving only a brief mention in the book’s closing pages. In meta arguments over the book’s ending, it was finally confirmed that Aria had chosen the thematic partner to her adventures over the action-heroic knight.

The ending of the book was the topic of many analysis posts in the forums, as well as fan-made edits to try and make the story of Arion work better. Many people even wrote their own alterate endings to the book, and tried to give the action-loving knight the conclusive end he deserved. The focus of the book on Aria’s inner journey meant that many of the other story lines were left dangling. This is a risk that a strongly character-centric ending like this takes.

This was a divisive end to a book. I didn’t hate it though. In fact, I loved it. It wasn’t a big battle between good and evil. It wasn’t even a duel between our hero and the big bad. Instead, the climax was a public debate in which our heroine laid out all of her research to a crowded room of scholars. And then – resolution! – they believed her. The truth was enough to break the curse that had been ‘afflicting’ the duke and allowing him to twist and abuse the twilight in order to survive. And then, after that, the duke wasn’t ‘cured’ of his twilight affinity. Instead, he and the land around him slowly, painfully transitioned to a healthy balance of twilight and daylight. And then, in the end, he tended a new garden, full of vibrant, wonderful life, with the heroine. It was a very quiet, very intellectual, very emotional victory. Many readers felt that this was an anticlimactic ending to the book. But for me, it was completely satisfying, because it was so true to this book’s core concept: that the only way to win was through understanding.
