I read through all 14 pages of these reviews to see if someone else had thought what I thought about the ending, and I did not see it, so here goes ... The movie is about a cutter from a time in the future when parents can decide to pay to implant a chip in their baby's brain that records their whole life. A Cutter's job is to review their life after they die and create a film from their implant recording to show at the person's funeral, which they called a "Re-Memory." This practice upset many people who picketed at Re-Memories. They felt it was a privacy invasion, that people should live in the moment, and keep their own memories -- why allow someone, a stranger, to cut and choose pieces of someone's life and put it together the way they choose? This whole premise, I believe, is why the ending was cut the way it was. We didn't like the way the director cut this movie any more than the people in this movie liked the way a Cutter cuts and creates a movie of the lives of these people.
