Apparently, a version of the film that aired on Netflix in the U.K. had its final scene cut, meaning that the elderly couple don't die at the end. Instead, they apparently watch a bird fly over a body of water before the film fades to black.
That sounds really nice, to be quite honest, but these death-hungry Notebook fans are fuming
Just watched The Notebook on Netflix and someone has cut the end?!?! WHY?!?!

Netflix quickly replied, swearing that it didn't mean to so rudely save the lives of two fictional characters with a shoddy edit. Instead, Netflix claims that it was given a different copy of the film.
Things you should know…

– we did not edit the notebook
– an alternate version exists and was supplied to us
– we are getting to the bottom of it asap
– apparently some films have more than one ending?!
