Gotta admit, was really excited to see they didn't automatically go in for a kiss at the end at the least! Like there's enough tension in that film that you can read it however you want, but you could still buy Raleigh and Mako as just really close/soul-bonded buddies.

Oh yes. It felt odd — mostly because it's been conditioned to me by other vastly inferior movies — but it felt right.

YESSSSSS! This is one of my favourite things about the movie! I LOVE that last shot where their foreheads are pressed together, rather than in a kiss. It's a really well-framed shot (they gave Mako a lot of well-framed shots in this movie, I thought). I also like that it's a buddy movie without the slapstick ridiculousness, and all the deepness that a friendship could have, esp given those circumstances.
