Dragon Ball Z Uncensored

Let's say you are watching a movie and you take a certain interpretation from it. Then you watch a deleted scene from it that goes against your interpretation, should you change your mind about the movie or just ignore the scene?
Are the only things that should be taken into account the ones that made it to the final product?

Like if you think a character had died, but then they are shown to be alive in a deleted scene, or something like that.

I think I'd take the movie for what it is without the deleted scenes. The director might have felt the deleted scene was pushing the movie in a direction he didn't want it to go and so he deleted it.

Vinny · (Wed May 02, 2007 8:38 pm)

Yeah, basically what SuperP said.

If you took deleted scenes as part of canon, then Clerks 2 would be IMPOSSIBLE!

SuperPsaturn · (Wed May 02, 2007 8:43 pm)

I wish they hadn't deleted that scene where Dante is killed.

Theldorrin · (Wed May 02, 2007 8:47 pm)

I include the deleted scene, because I think that they cut most of them for time moreso than pacing, no matter what they claim to the contrary.

Captain PUNisher · (Wed May 02, 2007 8:48 pm)

Okay, yeah, that was my opinion.

Of course, does that mean a movie and it's director's cut should be treated as too completely separate things? Probably.

Well what about entirely alternate endings? Obviously those weren't cut for time.

Theldorrin · (Wed May 02, 2007 8:51 pm)

Alternate scenes are different, of course.

I consider anything that couldn't fit in with the movie, logically speaking, to be an alternate scene. Even if it doesn't outright replace another scene.

There's also the whole thing with test audiences and how they react to certain endings and whatnot.

The All 'Ighty 'Ollar, bro.

If a scene is deleted, regardless of whether the director wanted it in, I will not consider it as canon.

So, is Spiderman 2.1 not canon?

I'd like to drink with that man.

Magic Juan · (Wed May 02, 2007 11:28 pm)

What the fuck is Spiderman 2.1?

Magic Juan · (Wed May 02, 2007 11:33 pm)

I don't watch extended editions of movies because they are often a cheap shill don't really add anything to a movie, but I was so few movies already.

Servbot · (Thu May 03, 2007 11:19 am)

Spiderman 2.1 is Spiderman 2 with extended fight scenes.

Derek Payne · (Thu May 03, 2007 4:04 pm)

It depends on the movie. Donnie Darko's deleted scenes clearly provide insight into the plot, and several of them should never have been cut in the first place. Most deleted scenes however, are frivolous and can be completely disregarded.

Magic Juan · (Thu May 03, 2007 4:12 pm)

Donnie Darko is such a horrible and gay movie.

Mautty · (Thu May 03, 2007 5:00 pm)

Thank you I thought I was the only one who thought that.
