I think Elle has accomplished 'A' and 'B' now-- she just called me from the video store and asked if she should rent the original or the director's cut and what's the difference? I hope my answer was adequate. I did tell her that the director's cut not only has things
added to it, but it has things taken away! I've heard people talking about it who are happy to see some of the additional elements, but
very disturbed about certain things being removed and songs replaced with other songs. Do any of you feel this way? Elle said she figures that she should see both, and I agreed, but I told her she should definitely see the original theatrical release first,
then see the director's cut afterwards. But that is just MY opinion, so hope I didn't steer her wrong.
Melinda, of course I know just which scene you mean. Poor Donnie - that damned Dr. Thurman keeps waking him up in compromising positions, doesn't she? There's that hugging one, too. And yes - if I were her, I'd definitely wait a while longer in both cases (and then eventually be arrested and/or institutionalized, I reckon).
Ha! Barb, If I were that doctor, I don't think I'd have the fortitude to let go of
Jake Donnie during that hug
. And I certainly would have watched whatever was about to take place in that
other hypnosis scene, but that's because I'm a lecherous old woman who would like to see whatever Donnie/Jake has to offer!
Devilishly handsome and disturbed young man. LOVED him in this movie. I also loved watching the interplay between Jake and Maggie's characters-- so....
realistic as brother and sister!
Elle-- don't forget to come back and report!
