The long journey Finally out after decades of adjusting efforts. I found it an incredibly loyal translation of Stephen King’s original novel in a spirit and mission statement. If you want some more of my thoughts, you can read my review here. However, the film makes waves among the king’s faithful for taking it at the end of the story. So, I realized that we should enter the end of the novel and the end of the film.

If you are not illiterate doofus, you should know that this means this will not be a tiptoe around any specific details. Consider that your warning is probably.

The long journey Book ends against the movie ends

Is a novel The long journeyThe last three competitors are the main character of Ray Garraty, Peter McVries, and Stebbins. This is reflected in the film but this is where the two stories begin to divert for their end. In the novel and film, Garraty and McVries have developed a friendship that has helped them make them so far in the competition. McVries have previously told Carraty that he will sit down when he cannot go further and let the troops execute him.

In the book, McVries do so, leaving Garraty and Stebbins as the last two competitors. Stebbins eventually falls and is also killed. Garraty is left like the winner of the long walk. Because of the delirium to which he has surrendered, Garraty continues to walk after the fight is made and finishes the story that runs away from the touch of the main villain.

The movie makes his biggest changes to The long journey ends during this passage. First, Stebbins is killed before Garraty or McVries. After a while, McVries decide to sit down and die so Garraty can win. Garraty prevents this from happening and sacrifices himself for McVries. His reasoning is that McVries will use his cash reward and win a desire to do something that could affect change in this dystopian society.

For his winning wish, McVries gets a Carbine rifle and shoots the great dead, and that’s what Garry said he intended to do in avenge for the murder of his own father by the chief. Then McVries continue to walk down the road in the rain.

Understanding media and alternate confirmation

For a movie version of The long journeyI understand the logic behind the changes. First, for a film that has built her entire back from the friendship that grows between Garraty and McVries, it makes all the sense in the world to get to be the last two competitors. As long as Garraty is the dying and mcvries kill the main, I also understand that as a much more acceptable ending to a film to take the story. It allows a little more storytelling than the mental nightmare ending of the book. It also gives the audience some violent hope in a vain effort that is otherwise in vain.

Now I want to see the alternate finale that will be released on home video when The long journey hits 4k Blu-ray. Did they film a version of the end of the book with Garraty surviving and not killing the main? I can see that as a finale that would leave test audiences feeling that they were being achieved, as if the story did not meet the journey they have been on. That’s an easier trick to pull in a book than it’s a movie, but if it exists, I want to see how he reads with the movie reef on the story and the characters.

I enjoy both The long journey Ending a book and a film ending for their respective media. I can see why it causes arguing just for being such a strong deviation in the film, but the book and its end will always be there if I want to experience those. Still, you know I have preceded that Blu-ray 4K.
