Alternate Endings?...Missed Opportunities...

Here are 2 ideas for an alternate ending:

1. After the end when Gina realizes that she is the mirror person, she decides to fight against her own mirror kind, providing a double twist ending. She does this because her conscience is awakened due to the accident and realizing that she murdered the real Gina; she might be forgiven for this due to the fact that it must have been the consensus in the mirror world that all doubles had to die.(A sidenote: Some have theorized that the mirror people led lives just like in the real world. I disagree; I think their sole purpose in their existence was to provide a reflection for the 'real' people. So, they must have rebelled and wormed their way into the real world.)

2. After the regular ending we see a scene - that takes place before Mirror Gina enters the real world - in the mirror world where Mirror Gina's Dad asks her if she is ready to enter the real world! An ending like that would have been super creepy and kind of nostalgic of 70's and 80's movies!

Just watched this today and spent an hour reading the comments on this board.
I'm afraid #1 won't work for the majority on here because:
- 40% will say it's too obvious
- 40% will say it's too confusing (since the plot isn't subtitled throughout)
- 15% will say they'd already guessed that's what would happen from something that happened in the first 5 minutes... ;)
