Ending Explained
In the movie "The Green Inferno," directed by Eli Roth, the conclusion centers around the protagonist, Justine, who is one of the few survivors of a harrowing ordeal with a cannibalistic tribe in the Amazon rainforest. After a group of student activists crash-land in the jungle, they are captured by the indigenous tribe. Throughout the film, the tribe subjects the group to brutal rituals and cannibalism. In the climax, Justine manages to escape with the help of a sympathetic tribe member. She navigates the dense jungle and eventually encounters a group of armed loggers. The loggers, who are in conflict with the tribe, rescue her and take her back to civilization. Upon her return, Justine is interviewed by authorities and lies about her experience, claiming that the tribe was peaceful and that her friends died in the crash.

The film ends with a sense of ambiguity and moral complexity, as Justine's fabricated story contrasts sharply with the horrific reality she endured, raising questions about truth, survival, and the consequences of activism.
