Behind Her Eyes
question
Wouldn't a better ending be...

Spoilers, obviously...
If Louise must be stupid enough to enter Adele's body to save Adele in the first place, then wouldn't it be more exciting if, once Louise realized she couldn't move Adele's body because she was so doped up on smack, she focused on her breathing and left? Like Rob said, he'd be kicked out if Louise entered her own body after him. Then Rob would just be a spirit, even if he entered Adele to try something, Louise would still have a head start.
I'm interested in what would happen if Rob's plan failed and Louise wised up. Would he still kill himself (or Adele's body)? Would he try a second time to get Louise's body? I'm disappointed Louise just lay there in Adele's body and gurgled. Maybe she was too high to focus on leaving her body. But then I wish Rob would've made mention of that fact, that Louise was trying to leave. Otherwise Louise goes down with hardly a whimper, offering no fight at all. Isn't a final battle better if, you know, there's actually two opponents? I just keep thinking how much cooler it would've been if Louise had jumped out of Adele's body and ruined all of Rob's plans. Does anyone agree with me on this?

Louis has NEVER tried to enter another body before and she has never been so drugged up and new things can be really effective. The ending, to me, seemed more realistic. Louis didn't know how she did it and she can't do so again without practice, especially on drugs. Also, I love all endings that go to shit, so I may be biased.
