I see what you're saying, nakymaton. I realize I'm splitting hairs over wording, but for me, I'd consider what you're talking about almost as "replaced" scenes, rather than "deleted" scenes. For example, if the "drinking" comment scene was "replaced" by the "Nice to know you, Ennis del Mar" scene, I'm not particularly interested in seeing it. What would interest me is any scenes that were simply cut but would "fit" back into the narrative. For example, I've seen stills of Ennis standing by the "grieving plain" where Jack's ashes will be buried, and of Ennis with a calf. I don't know if they were just publicity stills or shots from actual scenes that were cut, but if they are from cuts, I'd like to see them restored to their proper chronological place.
As to the effect of restoring the scenes, littleguitar, I appreciate what you're saying about the beauty of the simplicity of this film, but I guess I see this as almost a circular situation: You can't really tell the effect of these scenes on the overall film until you see them restored to their proper place. In the end, the effect might well come down to personal taste anyway. You may well feel they would take away from the movie, and I may well feel they would enhance it, and neither of us would be right and neither of us would be wrong. It would just be our personal taste.
Meanwhile, I'd just be happy to find a "full screen" DVD. All I can seem to locate is the "wide screen," and I've decided I want both for my video collection.
