Ending Explained: The Rain of Frogs
The director, in one of his interviews, states this – “So I just starting writing it into the script. It wasn’t until after I got through with the writing that I began to discover what it might mean, which was this: You get to a point in your life, and shit is happening, and everything’s out of your control, and suddenly, a rain of frogs just makes sense”. Whether you like it or not, the apex of this movie is the rain of frogs as all the events reach their climax at that moment.
