I liked it...

Rating: 9/10 (12 October 2010)

I liked it. I liked the new ending (I read the book too.) How come nobody is commenting that the new ending was probably in Paris? First, John is walking that little Parisian bike down the sidewalk (something never to be done in the U.S.) and second, the words on the glass of the cafe are in French (I think. Definitely not English, but it's backwards so I can't tell completely). I just want to know if anyone thinks that its a chance encounter or if they planned to meet there? Aren't there any discussions with the director or the production designer out there that will clue me in on the ending a little better? Clearly, he was either on leave or out of the army completely because he had his gotee just like in the beginning of the movie. I need more background on this. I definitely liked this movie and I think Channing did great acting, except I had a little hard time believing he was such a "bad boy" only 3 years before. He was so hardened and stoic during the movie.
