Discuss R.M.N.

So were those real bears or people dressed like bears and how should be interpreted the ending? It was quite confusing, since rest of the movie was very realistic (besides son's premonition about grandpa).

Here is part of the article:

"It feels as if Mungiu wants everybody who watches to look in the mirror and think about what has been presented, especially with its riddled ending that recalls a motif in R.M.N., which was to look out for bears. There are no easy answers, and Mungiu isn’t going to tell us the precise meaning behind the film. Instead, he wants us to ponder its meaning and see what we come up with. R.M.N. could be interpreted in various forms and had me thinking the entire night about its possibilities. After hours of thinking, I came up with the idea that the humans and the bears represent the villagers and the immigrants respectively, intertwined with Matthias’ anger after losing his father, which later translates to aggression – presented in the form of the Chekhov’s gun, the rifle presented in the first act. There’s more to be expanded upon; the subconscious versus consciousness, the mob mentality, and the deteriorating mind caused by aging, grief, and hatred."
