Ottway's perseverance in the face of adversity is rooted in his father's poem, which urges him to continue fighting, emphasizing the idea that a life without purpose is a wasted death. The ending of The Grey prompts viewers to question how they choose to react to life's battles.
It was about Ottway finding the urge to fight for his life, and stay in the fight. Through an unlikely experience with strangers stranded in the wilderness with him and a pack of wolves, Ottway found his way back. He rehabbed his soul. That was the onus of The Grey, not a thankless wolf fight.
It is based on the short story "Ghost Walker" by Ian MacKenzie Jeffers, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Carnahan. The story follows a number of oil-men stranded in Alaska after a plane crash who must survive multiple packs of Canadian grey wolves, stalking them during the mercilessly cold weather.
There were a few memorable scenes for sure. However, the final scene where Ottway enters the wolves' den literally sums up the fears he instilled in the men throughout the movie (getting too close to the den). Not only has he lost all his companions at this point, he had essentially lost all hope for survival.

While Gray's finale answered the show's big question, it left several loose ends. In the closing montage, we learned that Rousseau's somehow still alive, gasping for breath just as Tagg was about to start the clean-up operation.
Anyone who's now seen “The Grey” knows that scene from the very end of the trailer comes at the very end of the film with no wolf fight actually shown, though Carnahan recently said during a Q & A at an early screening of the film at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica that while he never planned to use it, he did film a ...
The movie is called 'The Grey' because it's what I consider the area between life and death to be. We always talk about the 'gray' areas as nebulous and vague and difficult to contextualize. That certainly aligns with my feelings about life, death, mortality, spirituality.
'The Grey' is a true survival film and it is excellently directed with a great starring performance by Liam Neeson. I believe it is an extremely underrated film and does a good job of bringing up various themes surrounding hope, faith, loss, and about life's injustices.
The color gray is associated with gray hair, and therefore with wisdom and experience. Gray color is also representative of nuance because it's neither black nor white. This means that gray color brings a balanced approach.

The protagonist says it's an omega wolf “sent in” by the alpha wolf to test the humans' defenses. Does anything like that ever happen with wolf packs? No. This is pure fiction.
There is not much wolf-killing, or even wolf-punching! Instead, Neeson and his comrades, trapped in the deserted, snowy wild after a harrowing plane crash, are hunted and picked off by the wolves one-by-one … and the movie ends with Neeson, the only one left, making his doomed last stand.
The wolves are symbols. Stand-ins for the real main character: death. Black and cunning, always shadowing, the wolves are always there, following the men from place to place, taking one, then another, then another. Each time a man meets a wolf, it means death has come for him.
He also spent a considerable amount of the time with the real wolves used in the film, which were trained by legendary animal wrangler Gerry Therrien. That pack was dominated by an alpha female who, Carnahan says, was fierce about keeping the others in line.
