Sinossi

Rewritten Movie Endings explores the pivotal role a film's conclusion plays in its lasting impact, dissecting movies with alternate finales and the reasons behind those crucial decisions. It delves into the complex interplay between artistic vision and commercial demands, revealing how studios, directors, and even test audiences shape a film's ultimate message. Did you know that some endings are altered to appease censors or boost box-office appeal? The book examines how these changes affect audience perception and critical evaluation, highlighting that a film's ending is not just a final scene but a defining element.

 
This collection of essays embarks on a comprehensive study using studio archives, director's commentary, and critical analysis to uncover the motivations behind rewritten conclusions. The book analyzes films across genres and eras, presenting insightful case studies that illustrate the creative and commercial pressures at play.

 
Beginning with an introduction to the concept of alternate endings, the book progresses through detailed examples, analyzing films where studio interference, test audience reactions, or director choices led to different conclusions, offering a fresh perspective on film studies and cultural history.
