I know very little about this movie, but apparently there's a major rush to put in a new ending before the premiere in a couple of weeks. Baz seriously, you've only had four years to work on this, pace yourself.... I'll go ahead and say that I'm not the biggest Baz Luhrman fan. In Sunscreen, the guy really needed singing lessons and Romeo and Juliet's screenplay was so amateurish. But from what I saw, it seems that Baz caved to his bosses and opted to put in a less sad ending that test audiences weren't so thrilled about. This film is actually a major Best Picture prospect, so a lot rides on this decision. Is it the right one? Who knows. Let's think about that jarring ending to No Country for Old Men. A lot of people hated it, but it still won Best Picture. I wonder what would have happened if the Coen brothers decided to go for something a little more mainstream. What if all that time, Llewellyn wanted that money so he could afford to find his long lost brother? Later on we find out that Sugar is such a sociopath because he never knew his brother either and became an assassin as a result. And in that final scene Sugar and Llewellyn find out through a similar birthmark that they are long lost brothers. They hug and then watch the Outback Bowl. Well that's much happier. It's not necessarily as poignant, but happy none-the-less. I guess we'll just have to see what fate has in store for Australia, but then again, there's always the 2012 oscars, righ
