OBSESSION’s ending was scripted differently until two last-minute changes reshaped the final scene. In the original script, Bear swallows the pills, accepts his fate, and walks out to Nikki. Actor Michael Johnston suggested adding a moment where Bear panics and tries to throw the pills back up. Writer/Director Curry Barker kept it, and that single change turns Bear's death from a sacrifice into a final act of cowardice. Barker also revealed the film was originally written to end with Nikki taking her own life, but his father and a few collaborators pushed him to try a version where she survives. He shot a single take of it, sure he'd never use it, then realized the bleaker image of Nikki left alive and screaming in the aftermath was the stronger ending and kept it. Which ending would you have chosen?

He mentioned, "That scene I was so worried about because we did it live... I was recorded live. I had to conduct them. And I spent six years learning how to conduct six minutes and 21 seconds of music. I was able to get the raw take where I just watched Leonard Bernstein [conduct] at Ely Cathedral... And so I had that to study." 🎼
