Its surreal this scene isn’t in Theatrical Cut — it’s like the Fox execs intentionally butchered the movie lol

> You don’t feel any real emotional connection to Bailon compared to say Baldwin or Sybilla. Things just happen to him and he’s just there.
So you either didn’t watch the Director’s Cut or didn’t pay attention to it because they explain all of your “complaints.”
The Theatrical Cut is problematic because it does feel like “things just happen” to Bailon in that version but the Director’s Cut addresses all of these things.
His performance works in the films benefit due to how reserved it is.

Did you watch the Director’s Cut? I agree that he seems a tad wooden in the Theatrical Cut but it works in the DC.

> 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

> Ed is kinda wastes as Baldwin IV
100% disagree with this. Norton is excellent and Baldwin as a character is superb in the DC.
