Lines: 10 To understand the ending of the movie (2001), you have to light up a "left-handed" cigarette just about the time the wild light show begins. I saw the movie in three different theatres and observed that those who seemed to understand what was going on were grabbing some smoke just as the scene started. I halfway understood at that time because of the three guys behind me who were blowing smoke my way. Other than that, I would like an explanation too. T. C. Wheeler
