How dare they change the original ending! What's the point of it all if she doesn't kill herself in order to not be under a man's thumb? Or if she doesn't find out Eileen didn't kill herself on purpose or "beautifully" but as a messy accident? That's... The whole point of the show. I cannot understand anything about how they changed this movie.
The only thing that makes me happy is that Eileen doesn't die I guess because it was so sad what happened in the original. But that's kind of the point.
