Even when I was a lib, it chaffed me that they changed the violent uprising/riot from the end of the book to blowing up a single empty building and taking to the streets in an unrealistically controlled, directed manner. It’s been a while, but I think the monologue even implied that the country’s government isnt even being overthrown, just reforming as a liberal democracy with this single bombing acting as a “warning” towards them.
The ending of the original is quite pessimistic though iirc? I take your point, but imho giving it a big emotive movie-style ending wasn't a terrible choice. See also, Fight Club
