And it suggests unappealing aspects to the characters -- particularly Ennis, who comes off as kind of rednecky -- that aren't otherwise apparent in the movie.

If the hippie scene had made the final cut, I have little doubt it would have been universally seen as the single worst thing about the film.

Sometimes his descriptions of the plot of BBM seem almost ... oversimplified. So it's possible that a commentary would be disappointing because his actual work as a director is much more nuanced than he would describe it, speaking.

You might want to look at the essay he wrote in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Portrait of a Film. He wrote about his personal spiritual beliefs and how they contributed to the movie...about the Tao te Ching, etc. He is more articulate on paper than speaking in English. Probably he was well edited!

Well, I'm more articulate on paper than when speaking in English, too, so I can relate!  ;D
