Movies That Originally Had Much Darker Endings
video description
Spoilers below:
In the released version the alien artifact is destroyed and unleashes a mutagenic wave that is calculated to reach earth in about 50 years, while it will drastically alter everything everyone has time to prepare for it to happen.
In the original the artifact was destroyed as well. but instead it unleashed an unstoppable shockwave that the computer calculates would take more matter than present in the universe to stop. The final image is of the galaxy showing the stars in an ever expanding sphere exploding and that is the fate of the entire universe.

I understand American Sniper and I think 10 Cloverfield Lane was appropriate, but I thinkTraining Day would have been stronger with the Denzel's character living. Maybe everything is heading toward his demise and you think he's going down but -plot twist! He kills everyone and lives. Like. Spoilers:
Like on Se7en when the studio wanted John Doe to kill the family dogs instead of the wife. It wouldn't be nearly as strong of a movie otherwise. Or on The Departed when you think Matt Damon gets away with it and he's unceremoniously offed and that's it. The blunt, sudden, ending is perfect.

The original ending to Alien. In an ending that was scripted, but not filmed, Riply shoots the alien with the grapple gun to try and knock it out of the shuttle, but the alien just shrugs it off, crosses over the room and kills Ripley. The last shot of the film would be the alien, setting the controls on the shuttle and Dallas' voice, recording a distress signal, implying that the alien could imitate human voices. Fox executives mandated that the script be changed, so that Ripley wins, because frankly, this ending was so depressing.

The original ending to 10 Cloverfield Lane would have been so much better. You can claim that it's really about domestic abuse all you want. But the fight with the alien still ruins the whole movie and betrays the tone of the movie in a worst possible way. And by the way. Michelle isnt running away from the problem of the attacking alien because she cant! You could have still kept the ending where she decides in the crossroad to go fight the invasion without the idiotic action scene.

I think the darker alternative ending of all time would have been the on from Alien (Ridley Scott): at the end, in the original script, the xenomorph killed Ripley and went back to Earth, speaking at the radio with Ripley's voice. This ending would have been sooo gret, s it is darker and hopeless; but i'm glad that they didn't made it, because it allowed to J. Cameron to make Aliens, my all-time favorit movie (the director's cut version is truly awesome!

Why go by an obvious FemNazi take on Cloverfield Lane? The Howard character was trying to protect her from the outside world. She only believed he was insane, she's actually the bad guy, but in this day and an age ya can't have a female as the bad guy, no you have to have the predictable final girl. If she was abused, then why was the guy going through the same Damn thing? And Howard actually saved her life. Pathetic review.

The ending to 10 cloverfield Lane MADE the movie. it turned what was already a pretty good film, into something awesome. and it's better then the type of ending such films would usually get, which was that original ambiguous one. it's such a cliche now to do those types of endings, or endings where everyone dies, etc (especally n indie horror) that it's actually refreshing to get an ending that is somewhat positive.

The Butterfly Effect is one movie that comes to mind when talking about movies that had a much darker ending initially. The director's cut was the first ever ending I saw, with the main character going back in time and dying as a stillborn baby. I've watched the movie many times afterward on TV and that ending was replaced with a happy ending that makes no sense with the way he was told that he shouldn't have lived.

With American Sniper, with his wife wanting it changed because it's how the children will remember their father. God, I hope they don't have the internet to find out he fabricated basically everything portrayed in the movie. Also, you want your kids to remember him? How about pictures and stories? Maybe you can manage to paint him in a better light than what history will remember about him.

I guess people just live happier lives nowadays, that's why theater lost it's original purpose along the way. Centuries ago, plays purposely had very grim endings to make people content with their miserable existence as farmers or servants. Stories like Romeo & Juliet would've been forgotten already if Shakespeare had chickened out, and given it a happy ending at the last second.
