Gosh it will be a great DVD, I am sure there are a ton of deleted scenes. I am sure for an actor it's hard to see things get cut.
There might in fact be a lot of deleted scenes that exist, but I'm afraid we may never see them.
Two points on this: 1. I was so excited for "cut" or "deleted" scenes after I saw the film that I did an informal survey of other Ang Lee movies which have been released on DVD, mainly by checking the "DVD details" link on the IMDB. Unfortunately, although many appeared to have added commentary, none of the Ang Lee movies I checked had deleted scenes mentioned in this IMDB feature link. 2. I think that as an artist, Ang Lee would perhaps want his statement to stand on its own without leaving it up to the audience to add things he chose to cut to make his "statement." So, if I were proud of my film, I wouldn't want stuff I cut to be available - it was all left out for a reason. Now, on the other hand, if I had to cut my story to keep it from an extraordinarily long running time, I might feel differently . . .
As to the length of the film, on my first viewing I felt as another poster above (sorry can't remember who). I knew the story so well, and I knew what was coming, and I was looking for the things I loved best from the story, so - I kinda thought it WAS too long. After a second, third and fourth viewing, however, I can report that I, too, feel there was "never enough time, never enough." As a poster on an IMDB thread said long ago, we just want to hang out with the boys more because we love being with them - so a longer film would have (would be) great at this point. I should note that I was actually quite irritated on my first viewing (remember I loved the story first) with Ennis and Alma Jr.'s discussion leading up to the "Jack, I swear . . . " ending. Now, of course, I love it, because after being so closed off, I love seeing "film Ennis" as I call him move positively in his life thanks to his relationship with Jack.
But I'm getting off topic. I suppose If I HAD to cut something, I would have cut Cassie in favor of a little more time between the guys as their relationship progressed. But I'm not a screenwriter nor a director - and maybe that's the beauty and strong pull of this film - the artists knew just how much to give us to make us come away longing for more.
I always admired sitcom/t v drama folks who stopped the show before it got stale - and for so many of us, this apparently is a "love that will never grow old."
