Source Code : The Original Ending

The Original Ending

Ah, the original ending. Audiences never like "non-happy" endings, so they OF COURSE had to hollyweirdize it. Sigh.

This is much better. It's clean, it explains everything, there's a proper closure, and no nonsense about parallel realities. Had they used THIS ending, I would probably like this movie, at least a bit.

But no, because of this effect:

.. and wanting to give women those happy (or should it be 'sappy') endings, we got the vomit-garbage instead.

Oh well, such is life in THIS reality..

Re: The Original Ending

Nice sexist point of view....

The ending makes much more sense than the original. It explains how he was able to walk around and do/know things that Sean Fentress had no knowledge of. How would Sean know where the bomb was or that the bomber left his ID on the train on purpose or that he knew the license plate of the van? Also, what's the point of sending an email if it's only a simulation?

Re: The Original Ending

I agree with the Original Poster. The original "sad" ending is the Best.
I hate the alternate reality/parallel universes BullSiit ending.

And about the second poster.

It explains how he was able to walk around and do/know things that Sean Fentress had no knowledge of. How would Sean know where the bomb was or that the bomber left his ID on the train on purpose or that he knew the license plate of the van?

I could think a lot of ways, including gather all the footage from securities cameras, cell phones, satellites whatever, and interpolate the rest of it from there.
That was supposed to be the premise of Deja Vu with Denzel Washington (before the twist). You have to show some suspension of disbelief but itsn't more than you have to have for the actual "Source code".

The "good ending" is preposterous. Someone builds a software to communicate with a dead man's brain and that could ...change reality for everyone? A piece of software NOT DESIGNED to do any of that. No code, no commands other than to pass data to the synapses of the brain of a common man. Laughable to say the least.
