The ending is different, some of the story is ripped from historical accounts and writings concerning Salem, Mass, and the sex and violence is gratuitous...As for Demi Moore, she did claim it was o.k. to change the ending of a book not many people read...a flimsy defense that detracts from the dedication to consistency Hawthorne toiled over to remain faithful to the Puritan mood he created...which in turn, blows the whole purpose of Hester Prynne staying in Salem to fulfill her punishment. To not understand Hester's "Puritannical" dedication to staying "true"...WHICH IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE NOVEL!!!
