Overheard a couple arguing about the ending of 'The Graduate' at the coffee shop

The guy said he always thought Ben should have just gotten on the bus alone at the end, looking unsure but finally free. It made me think about how that one change would shift the whole movie's point from a romantic rush to a story about choosing yourself. What's a movie ending you'd rewrite to be more about a character finding independence?

Wait, didn't he already ditch her at the altar to be alone?

Yeah exactly. He's just repeating the same pattern over and over.
