So there was a comment that @pahaK made in the current non-English language countdown thread about clipping one shot from Let the Right One In to make it perfect and got me to thinking of other films that would have benefitted from one scene being cut or a deleted scene being add back in.
The one that instantly always comes to mind for me is The Shawshank Redemption.
This is as close to as good as storytelling in cinema gets, but for mine the film would have been better suited to finish with Red on the bus and delivering his 'I hope...' voice over, the bus turning the corner and exiting view, then roll credits, thereby taking out the beach reunion scene.
Because, what better way for a film about hope to end than with that sentiment, that sense of hope. Not knowing, but hoping that Red made it to meet up with Andy. Because, hope after all, is a powerful thing.
Anyhow, am sure there are plenty of others that would likewise benefit but am kinda half cut at the moment, lol, so yeah.
Any films you would have added or edited a scene, a shot, or re-arranged order etc, from that would have enhanced it?
Discuss.
