So why did Tommy become smart?


How is that possible? Evan made sure that he never met Kayleigh, how can that all of a sudden make Tommy a better person??? the father was always gonna be a Pedo regardless. or are they trying to say because the father never met Evan that all of a sudden it stopped him from Molesting his daughter?? therefore making Tommy not have Violence tendencies?? it makes no sense!

Better or smarter ? Those are two things

well both because we see him graduating. and a better person.

Having said all this... I had the blu ray that said directors cut on the front cover.. however it seems I got the cut where they pass each other at the end she turns around for a second keeps going and so does he...... so just doing some reading now it seems I never got the DC version! so very confused as to why now.? perhaps I had to go to a option in the menus?

I just watched the DC version on youtube where he kills himself. and you hear Keileigh talk about how she moved with her mother instead. because Evan didn't exist that kinda explain why her life was better and happy. but I assume that Tommy moved as well? because he would have become a worse person living with his Dad.

Exactly . You understand now. Don’t confuse directors cuts with alternate endings

Well it clearly says DC on the cover of the Blu ray. so I thought I was watching the DC.

I had not seen this movie in 15 years since it came out. I wasn't even aware there was 4 Alt Endings. obviously I wasn't watching the DC it seems. I don;t even remember or know the ending I seen 15 years ago it was one of the 3.
