Why do movies always feel the need to go so over the top with everything? Would be better if they stuck closer to the book.

Now you take that back, the film is now a cult classic, a cultural zeitgeist if you will. It's also one of the most quotable movies I know. Now please excuse me while I go to my cave and find my power animal!

Nah, while I agree the book ending was great in its own right, the movie would not have succeeded without the ending they gave it. It would've felt anti-climactic and probably a little boring tbh. The movie was for entertainment, the book was for thought.

Chuckie P said he likes the movie ending better. Not that that's the end all opinion. Because mine is. And I liked it better, too!!!!
