Netflix UK has defended itself after The Notebook's highly emotive scene was cut from its streaming site.
Responding to the backlash from seething fans, Netflix UK told TMZ that they 'didn't edit the film' before adding 'an alternate version exists and was supplied to us. We're getting to the bottom of it asap. Apparently, some films have more than one ending?!'
A night in with Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, whose captivating love story unfolds over six decades in the 2004 film, was effectively ruined by what many fans perceived as the streaming service’s unnecessary decision to cut the film a scene early.
'We did NOT edit the film': Netflix UK has defended itself after The Notebook's highly emotive scene was cut from its streaming site
The non-linear story follows Noah and Allie, two people from vastly different social and economic backgrounds, after they meet and fall in love in the 1940s, only for life – and the backdrop of World War II – to send their lives hurtling in opposite directions.
Narrated in the present day by nursing home patient Duke to a female friend, it soon becomes apparent that the old man is in fact Noah, his female friend is Allie and he is recounting their life together because she is stricken with dementia and unable to remember her youth.
For those already well versed with director Nick Cassavetes’ adaptation of the bestselling book by Nicholas Sparks, it meant they were deprived of watching the couple die in one another’s arms after Allie remembers her devoted husband.
Instead, the highly emotional ending was axed and replaced with an earlier scene in which Duke promises to return and complete his story the following day, along with the rather less satisfying shot of birds flying over a lake.

The film went on to gross $115,603,229 at box offices worldwide and is still the highest grossing romantic drama of all time, 15-years after its original release.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
