It sounds like the ending of this movie has the same ending as the book and its previous radio and screen adaptations.
I think everyone needs to read her entire column. The Tim Robbins part, especially, cannot be part of the original book. Is there anything in the original book about Tom Cruise hiding with his daughter and Tim Robbins in a basement? How about Robbins' characters statement abour insurgencies defeating occupations? Read this from Schlussel, and tell me if she's still wrong. I'd like to know because I did not read "WOTW.":
"Then, there is Tim Robbins. His character, Ogilvy, says occupations "never succeed ... . local insurgencies always bring you down." Gee there's no agenda there, right? Isn't this the same Tim Robbins, universal sensitive man and girlfriend to Susan Sarandon, who has tiraded against Bush and the War on Terror everywhere that will have him (excluding Cooperstown's Baseball Hall of Fame, thankfully)? Why, yes, it is.
Robbins says the movie's message is "how any kind of terror can change a peace-loving person in an instant." So now we are "war-mongers" because we've chosen to fight terrorism, instead of giving in to it, like the lucky idiots, a la Tom Cruise, in this movie?"
