"Ira Deviyange Ira Gala Gawa" (ඉර දෙවියන්ගේ ඉර ගල ගාව) is a traditional Sri Lankan folk verse (Jana Kavi) that celebrates nature and is often associated with the sun and moon rising. Originally, these verses helped ancient Sri Lankans connect with nature and alleviate the fatigue of hard physical labor.
Today, this piece is commonly taught in schools as part of the Sinhala literature and music curriculum to preserve the island's oral heritage, and it is also featured in modern performances and recordings.

Based on the date I am going to guess this ending was inspired by LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR – which does a similarly nasty last minute misogynist sucker punch fake-out after two odd hours of women’s lib swinging. Were male filmmakers really threatened by the entrance of women’s lib, Billie Jean King, Joan Collins, and Erica Jong’s “zipless f*ck” they needed a retaliation? If so, good lord. I remember being around 13 and seeing the last half of GOODBAR on cable thinking I was finally getting to see ANNIE HALL. I seriously could have used PTSD therapy afterwards – but how do you explain all that as a kid? I’ve always wanted to (and still do) sucker punch Richard Brooks for revenge ever afterwards, And I would never see this movie intentionally. I’ve cried my Native American by the side of the road pollution tear once too often.
