Daisy Edgar-Jones and director Daniel Minihan explain the end of On fast horses.
The film ends with three of its main characters left alone. Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones) leaves her husband Lee after realizing that she was queer and moved to her mother’s house that her husband thought she had sold years ago. In doing so, she also moves away from her neighbor and friend Sandra (Sasha Calle).
“We like to believe that Muriel finally reconnected with Sandra,” said Daniel. “It was a strong link. But Muriel kept this secret all the time to keep her mother’s house, which really means something important for her.”
“She seems satisfied (sic) there,” he continued. “Her mother had a great influence on her. The first time she really opens to someone, it was in Sandra, when she describes all the things that her mother has done and what iconoclastic character she was.”
As for Julius (Jacob Elordi), he takes the horse he offered to Muriel and Lee and leaves at sunset.
Director Daniel says that despite the fans who think that the sunset scene means something deeper, it simply indicates that Julius went to seek the love of his life, Henry (Diego Calva).
“It is interesting to note that some people interpret it in sunrise through the desert in a different way,” he said.
“Our intention was that he was going to find Henry and see him again in Las Vegas and probably exploding his life,” he said.
Edgar-Jones also explained that Muriel’s game gives her financial independence and releases her with compulsions.
“This trip with the game is really interesting,” said Daisy Edgar-Jones. “She is starting to repel or rebel in her silent way with that. She also does the same thing in her love life. What [the gambling] Gives her in terms of independence and the freedom to make choices according to what she wants, and not out of necessity, is an incredible arc that it takes. “”
