alternate ending

first of all,i really love this movie,it's an amazing love story either way,but this how i thought it ended when watching it for the first time (ok,somewhere in the back of my head i knew i was wrong,but why break the illusion?)..so,what bothered me was the pool.where the hell did the pool come from?why was there a pool anyway?it didn't make sense.it was just the way they took each other's hand and something about the look,the signiificance of the moment..it had to be the romeo+juliet ending..so this is how i saw it-there was no goddamn pool beneath them,just ground.and death.everything that happened afterwards was in a way a picture of heaven..where heaven actually means freedom from the world and freedom from themselves (and that surreal landscape at the very ending just made it more believable,where is that anyway,england?).
so..i know what it sounds like - i need to see the movie again,and i will as soon as i find the time,because it is a movie worth seeing twice,and not many are.but it just won't be the same movie without my unhappy ending.(which in fact isn't that unhappy,but that's a different matter.)
