A Film Scene Cut
You’ve probably heard about the stormy reactions to the movie ‘Twisters’. This isn’t because of any actual tornadoes in the movie. It was actually due to an unexpected decision that left fans feeling high and dry. This twist in the tale was a cut scene. But not just any scene. It was a much-anticipated kiss between the stars Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, and fans didn’t see it coming.
Fans Express their Disappointment
Things got even more intense when short clips of the deleted kiss made their way onto the internet. This led many fans, who were looking forward to seeing their favorite stars share an intimate moment on screen, to feel deceived. Their frustration soon swarmed the internet as they voiced their disappointment over the decision.
Reflections from Among the Film Industry
Top filmmaker Zack Snyder, celebrated for his bold, passionate scenes, also voiced his confusion regarding the cut. Speaking to THR, he acknowledged the ongoing debate over Twisters’ editing decision. Snyder explained that he sees intimacy as an important part of our lives and should not be omitted from movies. He did say though, that he does not know why such a seemingly harmless scene was left out.
Did Spielberg Influence the Edit?
Both Powell and Edgar-Jones hinted during a Collider interview, that the decision could have come from the executive producer, Steven Spielberg himself. Movies are broad experiences and sometimes, they’re made better by taking out certain scenes. It seems like they’re okay with it. Still, fans feel a tad bit robbed.
Snyder’s Openness to On-Screen Intimacy
Snyder is well-known for not shying away from showing characters getting close on screen. Discussing his movie ‘Rebel Moon’, he mentioned releasing two versions for different age groups. He values his vision over playing it safe, which means, he’s open to presenting authentic stories, even if they may be a bit racy.
Contrasts are Highlighted by Snyder’s Watchmen
Film lovers know of Snyder’s passion for R-rated content. His widely known movie ‘Watchman’ featured brutal combat, explicit language, and even adult content. The bold style of ‘Watchmen’ never shied away from making viewers feel both entranced and shocked. This is quite different from what happened with ‘Twisters’.
Understanding the Movie Landscape
As more discussion happens about this, it’s becoming clear that a single scene can make a big impact on how a movie is seen by its viewers. Opinions will definitely differ when you compare the full, passionate scenes from Snyder’s work to the more restrained ones from ‘Twisters’. Each choice made can affect how we feel about the film. So, what’s next? Only time will tell if cutting the kiss scene from ‘Twisters’ will be a stroke of genius or just a source of confusion for viewers.
Remember, you can watch Twisters at nearby theaters. Snyder’s Rebel Moon is streaming on Netflix and Watchmen is available on Prime Video. Enjoy your next movie night!
