However, when people talk about Edward Norton's character in the movie or book, they have to refer to him by some name (Jack or Joe). I have no idea why they felt the need to change his name.Galt Wrote:he used different names to personify feelings throughout the book.Quote:I am Joe's Complete Lack of Surprise

Just to stop the confusion. My point was, the movie should have been like the book. The only complaint that anyone has about the movie is the ending, the rest of the movie was great. Coincidentally, the rest of the movie was like the book, but they changed the ending in the movie to add big explosions and a tidy ending, which was kind of weak.
What I posted, was the ending of the book, but no one picked up on it.
