Well, I remember hearing that sequence was cut because it was "too unbearably emotional" (I'm sure someone knows the exact quote). Now I didn't see all that in the clip. It seemed like how I found much of the movie - too drawn out and lacking in momentum. It probably would have made the movie drag even more. They're already back at the apartment for this, and they were all last seen at the graveyard. There was probably some long drawn out, practically silent scene linking them.

I really wish this had made the final cut of the film.

Why did they have to take that out? I don't think it was too emotional that they had to take it out of the movie. Usually I start tearing just hearing the song. That clip had no effect on me at all.

Hasn't it been explained enough times? I mean, whether you find the explanation satisfactory or not, it's been pointed out ad nauseum.

What linked them was the fight between Mark and Roger, which isn't shown in this clip. That's the part that Columbus found to be too emotional.

Thanks, Chloe. It will be interesting to see if people really do find it "too emotional," as well as how long it takes to move the scene from the graveyard to the building.

Oh, and also... it's out of context. Per the explanation, the problem was obviously with it IN context. I'm sure that a few days after the DVD comes out, some fan will have spliced all of the scenes into the movie.

I always love the Enya-esque music at the end of this song.

i think the whole "too emotional" thing is kinda lame. i mean, im sure columbus has good intentions...but there are many, many more movies that have more emotion then this one. What's wrong with getting the audience all teared up?

I think they were worried about getting the audience so upset that they were not able to totally get the full effect of the film.

Columbus was right - it was just poorly filmed, at least he could admit it, although he hasn't given an explanation yet for the other poorly filmed 2 hours and 15 minutes of the movie.

I think you're reading too much on the surface; I don't think he meant he had a problem with making people tear up -- I mean, people cried a LOT with the movie as it was. He was focused on this notion of emotional shut-down: that there were too many scenes that were heavily emotional, and in his eyes, they would cause people to turn off so much that they didn't get the percieved "right" impact.

Whether you believe it or not is your deal.

I think this would have made the movie progress better. It was filmed very well in my mind.

I was really mad that they had left this out, and I thought it was pretty good! I wish they had left it in, but I guess it would help to see it all put together with this scene before I really make a judgment. My sister was mad they took this out because when Benny offers to pay for her to go to a rehab it makes him a "good guy" and without it the audience still doesnt really like him. I really wish he had a bigger part in the film, was it just me or did his part seem kind of lacking?

they totally could have kept it in

Not just you. One of my biggest problems with the movie was that Benny's role was reduced to the point where he seemed more like a plot device than a full-fledged character.
