does he die in my oxford year

In "My Oxford Year," the character Jamie does die. He is terminally ill with cancer, the same disease that took his brother. Instead of extending his life through painful treatments, Jamie chooses to live deliberately and ultimately dies. The film ending shows Anna dreaming about their European adventure together, but it is implied that Jamie passes away during the time leap. The movie's ending is more tragic compared to the book, where Jamie participates in a medical trial that gives him extra time. The filmmakers chose this darker ending to emphasize the film's message about living intentionally and the reality of mortality. Anna honors Jamie's memory by embracing a more soulful life and teaching poetry at Oxford rather than following her original rigid career plans.
