At the end he has a view and does not have to cycle forever in a prison surrounded by the love of his life performing degrading sex acts with strangers. In the confines of what that world can offer someone, he's in the best possible place. He has risen to the top of that particular scum filled pool and has given himself a future. Before he had nothing, now he has the potential for something more. The rules of the game are that he sacrifices everything he values to escape. And he escaped. He's basically Sam Lowry at the end of Brazil. And that had a happy ending too.

Carpet posted:That wasn't a real view though, it was a video screen just like the others... And? His view is now of life, whereas before it was some ghastly Wii hideousness with pay-per-skip ads and forced personally-affecting pornography. Within the confines of his world, he is in a better place. Things have improved for Tealeaf. Changing from one negative state to a less negative one is an improvement, and within the structures of that world, this is a happy ending. It is not a John Wayne riding off into the sunset style of happy ending, but it is a happy ending.
