Drowned or Just Swept Away?

How could you not realize your life would be better without someone when the option is dying in the next 5 minutes and not having a life? In a no win situation, it's best to be alive. Not like he could have any regrets, they weren't going to live, he just added himself to the casualty list for no reason.

Hoo boy.
Has it ever occurred to any of you people in this thread that the matter of what he does later is NOT relevant to whether as a matter of basic humanity he should try and save a person from drowning? If he lets her drown just because it'll "free" him to shack up with his mistress and avoid the scandal of a divorce (not to mention inherit his now conveniently dead father-in-law's company) then that makes him a murderer and worse than Ava in all her unlikable bitchiness (and I don't deny she was looking terrible at this point). It's really amazing when I see this level of disconnect over a simple point in which audiences think the "hero" should in effect become a murderer. -

Originally the story was going to be Stewart survives, and rebuilds L.A. with Denise by his side. Charlton Heston demanded that changes to be made-He thought the ending would be unbelievable if he survived with his cute girl. In the script and book, it says a weakened section of the roof caved in on top of them..I guess they couldnt figure out how to do it.
