acampbellI just finished watching the Director's Cut of Ride With the Devil (Ang Lee). About nine minutes of extra footage has been added, and there have been a couple of minor differences and a little shuffling around, a little different music--or so it seems; it's been several years since I've seen the "regular" edition--except for Jonathan Rhys Meyers' scenes, which were regular viewing material.:)
But it's intriguing how just s few small changes can make a movie seem like an entirely different film. Maybe it's just my state of mind, but this through it seemed so sad. I mean, it was always a downer film, but this time it darn near made me cry, bad accents, stunted delivery, and all. More depressing, but in a good way.
The best part of this movie is the location photography, IMO. The part where Tobey Maguire & co. are living in that little camouflaged shed in the woods--well, that looks almost exactly like our back yard in Kentucky.
