Often these cuts are forced on the director by the film studio in an attempt to make the film a box-1 ................................................... hit. These cuts might change the 2 ................................................... , for example, by giving the film a happy ending. They might reduce the film’s length to prevent 3 ................................................... from getting bored. Often, minor 4 ................................................... are left out, which must be very upsetting for the actors who were playing those parts. However, a smaller 5 ................................................... can help the audience as there are fewer people to remember. Unfortunately, the decisions about which parts to cut are often made without asking the director. Important parts of the 6 ................................................... are left unsaid, making the film difficult to follow.

All the different versions are 9 ................................................... seeing, but the director’s final cut is 10 ................................................... , and so is the recent sequel, Blade Runner 2049.
