DVD w/deleted footage

<< < (6/8) > >>

Aargggh! Those pictures are torturing me! It shows them happy & smiling & in love...

If there is any kind of god, spiritual being, whatever....the extra footage must be realeased!  I'm surprised it hasn't been leaked somehow, seeing as some of the props have come to light.  I guess the legal action is too threatening.  

Btw, is there anyplace where all the stills/screen caps from the extra footage is grouped together?  Only so I can go torture myself some more.

There are a lot of pics on the WWW.IHEARTJAKE.COM  site.    You'll need to register to see them full size.

I can see both sides, depending. Some of the deleted parts I've heard about I think might detract from the movie. The hippie scene, for example, sounds out of place. I would definitely oppose the inclusion of those rumored scenes that would make the ending less ambiguous. And I wouldn't want to mess with the movie's emotional restraint and mystery.

Other additions might be nice. The beans camping scene, for example! I've always thought that one was too abbreviated in the film -- the only way I knew "look what I brought" meant beans was from reading comments on BetterMost; originally I assumed he meant horses.

If Ang re-edited and used every bit of wisdom and discretion and artistic mastery that he used in making the original, stretching the movie as much longer as possible without changing the overall effect in any way, I'd be OK with it.

And I agree, that there are some scenes I wouldn't like to have in the movie. For example another flashback while Ennis is in Twists' home. The sequence is just spot-on perfect. And devastating. Any addition could easily ruin it or at least be a distraction.

Gotta go now. Will write more later.

I want the movie to stay exactly as it is.

However, I love watching the "not used" scenes on DVDs. I say not used because I imagine that is what they are. Deleted implies they were put in and then cut out, while not used implies that the director had one idea while filming but then while editing, his idea/vision changed. That's fine, it's part of the process.

I read that they spent a week filming the hippie scene and it must exist on film. Even if it is awful, it would still be fun to see it. We could all cringe and say ew, thank God they didn't put that in!!
