Thank you, Jerry’s of the Great, before taking note, and giving J only a second chance. When Jerry asks how he will spend his life, he says, “I’m not sure. But I don’t know if I’ll live every minute of it. ”The film ends with Joe stepping out of his house and taking a deep breath.
Although this is a compromise to that end, co-writers and directors Pete Doctor and Camp Powers went through some possible endings, including some versions, where Die did not die.
The forces told Collider, “[W]Many versions of the same J eventually die and die, all in different ways. Some of them were more emotional. Some of them were funny. We ended up very different. “
“We felt he had learned enough to appreciate things he didn’t appreciate starting,” the director told USA Today. “And that’s why we thought, ‘Oh, it can work.’ He felt very noble that he was sacrificing the opportunity to go back and instead give it to the 22nd. My barber has a whole life that I knew nothing about. I didn’t know I could be honest and truthful with my mom. ‘It felt like running a robbery to let him go back. “
The other end showed what happened to 22, whose soul does not reappear after landing on earth. But every time they thought of a nickname for 22, they changed their mind. Powers said, “There was one where D was traveling with Dorothea and teaching students privately next door, and there were 22 new students and he recognized that she was.”
The filmmakers decided that “there was something unsatisfactory about it” so they chose to leave 22 lives a mystery.
A post-credits sequence that they thought would have shown what happened to Mr. Mittens, the cat whose body J oe holds for most of the movie.

“We know the audience often wants to tell what happened to the character,” Power told USA Today. “They want to know if the character made the ‘right’ decision. But in the case of Nana, we didn’t want to put a choice on it. We want to say what he finished doing, whether it was back to teaching, playing in a band, or considering some hybrids of both, he appreciated life better. “
