ending of novel
why did Redford change the ending?
sharebecause it sucked.
sharebecause it sucked
that's your opinion. I disagree. in the book Tom basically implied the only possible outcome he could imagine was dying. he didn't want to break up a family and yet he loved Annie so much he felt life without her was not worth living. it was clearly stated that Tom could have gotten away from the wild white stallion but chose not to. so he in essence killed himself rather than cause the pain Annie would eventually feel if she broke up her family for him, and how it would cause great devastation to Grace and he couldn't do that after all she had endured. but that's just my opinion *shrugs*

So in the novel Tom is killed by a horse by his choice? He and Annie did not even know each other that well. Suicide was a little far fetched.
shareI finished the book today, and he walked into the path of a charging stallion twice to get closer, not get away. Something he wouldn't do with the horse he helped, Pilgrim. When Pilgrim charged, he hot out of the way.
As for the length of time, it can be explained by his need for her. He needed her more than life. He had been married but never felt that way for his wife. He said he couldn't live without her.
If we can save humanity, we become the caretakers of the world
that's your opinion.
Tell me something I don't know. share
NO, That's not my opinion, I read it online and just wanted to know if he was killed by the horse in the novel.
shareIn the book, Tom purposely gets in front of the stampede to save Grace... I didn't get the impression it was a suicide but I guess it could be interpreted that way.
Endings are constantly changed in movies and only Robert Redford would be able to answer your question 😄
Anyway, hope that helps as far as what happens in the book!
