Did hays die at the end? He walks out with his wife after they reconcile their relationship in the bar. And he also walks into the jungle hidden from frame at the last scene? Or am I tripping?
I could see that. Finally locating julie and seeing she’s living a normal life with a kid brought closure to him and he “forgot” so to not disturb/stress/upend that life julie has finally found.
He then died on the porch, had the whole fam there lined up with him even his supposed estranged daughter and then even roland comes through completing the circle of the most important people closest to him while watching his two grandkids biking towards the sun instead of darkness which the purcell kids headed towards.
Then cue the creepy background music, him and wifey hashing things out and walking into the white light. Enter the vietnam scene showing that he will forever be stuck in some kind of purgatory alone, haunted by his desire to always seek out volatility? Unstableness? He’s stuck in a circle of his own demise.
I don't know if that makes any sense i might be reading too much into it.
