> you understand the story and the decisions make by all the main characters much more clearly.

This is very true as the Theatrical Cut omits Baldwin V (Sybilla’s son)!

Baldwin V is the catalyst for the second half of the film and the Theatrical Cut doesn’t even feature it lol Whichever Fox Exec decided that is a moron lol

It's been a while since I watched the Theatrical Cut.

I can't fathom cutting the child. Jesus. It's such an integral plot point.

I would argue they should spend more time on Sybilla's decision to put Baldwin down in the directors cut.

Yeah this is one case where the director's cut was just far superior. So much important context was taken out of the theatrical cut
