Could not have put it better Skybird. That is why I googled it to try and get understanding on its ending. The dots just do not connect in the film or its message.
I get that it addresses foreigners - and the resistance of locals to different cultures and the threat that that brings. In my opinion, it treated this extremely shallowly.
And look where we are today. Against the plot of the film I would argue today there is no country like the USA where others are not battling to get in. What other country holds lotteries on attaining citizenship.
