A note on how this movie was supposed to end: was it in the book, or a proposed draft of the script where instead of Ellie going through the worm hole, the aliens actually sent Earth to another system.
That's not in the book. As I recall, in the book, there are five people that go on the trip, so the whole "who's the one person that gets to represent all of humanity" and "was she hallucinating" doesn't work the same. In fact, these are some of my least favorite changes, in a movie I really like overall.
I forget if the book has anything about the chairs. They may have made up that whole bit for the movie too.
