Well, uh... that's one interpretation, I guess. I tend to think it's the exact opposite of this. The originial ending was a hell of a lot more blatant in its anti-romance stance, with the two of them having failed romance after failed romance into old age (this is still implied in the ending with the last shot repeating over and over). They weren't true loves at all, they were just a couple of idiots with some initial compatibility who couldn't actually carry a relationship. |
Yes, the original Kaufman script was quite a bit more out there and brilliant than the movie made it due to this intro and outro set in the future in which the two of them are elderly folks. They just keep erasing their own memories and start over and the vicious cycle goes on and it's quite pathetic and tragic and unconventional.
That said, I loved the movie anyways. The ending was slightly ambiguous, which speaks to Gondry's probable lack of balls, but still one of the more memorable, likeable movies I've ever seen.
