Was the ending changed for video?

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2005)

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES BY BRUCE WILLIS AND Haley Joel Osment make the premise of this movie believable. It held my attention every single second. The plot was carefully scripted so that there was consistency throughout. I did not consider it a horror movie but rather a story dealing with the eternal questions of life and death. The first time I saw it, I knew that I had to see it again and did. With great anticipation, I recently watched a video tape of it and found myself as drawn into it as the first time. I was very disappointed, however, in the ending on the tape because it is not the ending I remembered from the film. The end of the movie brought tears to my eyes. The ending on the video seemed flat. Can anyone comment on this?
