Watched The French Connection, thought I had seen it before but don’t think I’d seen it all the way through. Really good.

Although, what was the point of the gunshot off screen at the very end? I know it’s a true story so the characters had pre-determined outcomes, which they advised in the end credits of what happened next. Does that not render the fade to black gun shot pointless? Either leave it in and don’t say what happened next for everyone, leaving it ambiguous. Or don’t have the gun shot as the what happened next text removes all ambiguity.
