What Scene Could have been left out

<< < (2/7) > >>

Yeah, me too.....you know i was going to put the Cassie scenes in the poll, but i thought i would be the only one that got bored with it, even though i can see where it played its part in the movie.....showing that Ennis tried to have a relationship with a woman again, but he didnt really care one way or another......and in fact, he did to Cassie what he did to Jack in a way....never committing, putting other things first....

Lets face it, he was juggling with his own sexuality, and how painful that must be...in my opinion that would be worse than being gay and hiding in the closet for fear of rejection, so my heart goes out to those out there who are juggling.

Anyway, for what its worth, I still think the fireworks scene was a waste of time that could have been spent on another love scene or kiss....matter of fact, I would have preferred if the whole movie was love scenes and kissing....but I know that would not have made up all the story, but i know it would have been damn good watching.....

Midnight24:
I agree with the fireworks scene, it could have been used for something else (possibly more Jack/Ennis lovin  :laugh:) But I think all parts of the movie or essential and there are very very very few I would actually take out (probably only one scene and that would be the Cassie and Alma Jr. one.)

delalluvia:
I'd ditch the fireworks scene.  While very cinematic, we didn't need to know what year it was from that scene, since the rodeo scene immediately after also states the year.  Both scenes were a mistake, considering that building the scene where Jack met Lureen - also not part of the story - messed up the timeline anyway and left open the possibility Lureen was pregnant at the time she met Jack.

I wouldn't change a single cotton-pickin' thing.  But if I had to, I'd nix Old Man Twist spitting into that cup.  As appropriate and fitting as it is figuratively speaking, I have to look away every time 'cause it's just so damn gross.

I didn't vote, because I think all these scenes are necessary, or at least relevant, to the plot & story & character arc.

If I had to point to one scene I really think should be removed, it'd be the "pissant /used to ride bulls" scene. I still can't see what that one is supposed to bring to the telling of the tale at all.
