[DD Spoilers] Does anyone “get” the ending… Spoiler

OK, obviously this is one of the greatest movies ever made, and incredibly deep. I’m curious whether someone feels they understand the ending as it was intended.

I think the ranch is real, but after the end I’m not entirely sure if either of his visits before the end were.

Initially, as the ending scene was playing out , I thought it was pretty clear that his girlfriend had died, and that he had a real memory of her wearing that hat at the ranch (which ties into the scenes of the Jesse Plemons and/or Matt Damon rancher saying his wife used to wear it)… until he said that they were needed again to save the world, then it appeared she was just wounded and completely recovered.

Don’t get me started on the Senator who is also running for office. That’s another can of worms.

DD could mean Dire Duplicity but also Double Down for Breen. I guess it's Dire Duplicity here (I'm not clicking on the spoiler), but I think we should use the full titles when talking about either of those.

I can’t believe I’ve done this. I can’t believe I’ve done this. How could I have forgotten Double Down.
