One fan expressed their confusion on Twitter after watching the film. "Watched it with my girlfriend last night lmao," he wrote. "I was so confused, because I didn't remember that ending. Probably watched it like 100 times cuz I watched it a lot with my mom when I was a kid." Another viewer took to Twitter to voice their anger over the change, "I'm not big into romantic movies but I have seen #thenotebook and @netflix what you did wasn't ok that ending was beautiful it's all I can ever hope for in my marriage so when I finally eat dirt I can go with the one I love dont you dare take that away! Put it back!"

Netflix U.K. caught wind of the brewing controversy and took to Twitter to explain what happened. "Things you should know... — we did not edit the notebook — an alternate version exists and was supplied to us — we are getting to the bottom of it asap — apparently some films have more than one ending?!" One enthusiast of the novel seemed to confirm this and wrote, "The alternate ending of The Notebook is more similar to that of the ACTUAL book, and there's a sequel so it's def prepping us for the sequel."

Word to the wise, regardless of which version you happen to watch, get your tissues ready — it's a tearjerker.
