*Spoilers*
I read somewhere that the ending, in which Al Roberts is arrested by the police, was added by the order of censors, who were concerned about the moral message of the movie. In the original ending, Roberts gets away with murder.
Does any one have any information to confirm this?
Maybe I missed something but what I noticed is: Al Roberts was not arrested in the end of the film. They only showed him walking (or hitchhiking) and the police showed up, spoke to him and he got in the back of the police car UN-handcuffed. That means the police could have simply given him a ride in the same direction or he could have been brought in for questioning (he may or may not have been charged). The ending is left open to interpretation it seems to me.
