10 Cut Scenes That Would Have Totally Changed Their Movies

10. Midsommar - Dani And Christian's Argument

Described by director Ari Aster as an Apocalyptic Breakup Movie, Midsommar - his second feature - follows a group of friends visiting a rural Swedish community to observe their midsummer festival where things soon take a sinister turn. Amongst the terror is the dysfunctional relationship between Dani (Florence Pugh) and disinterested boyfriend Christian (Jack Raynor).

In the film's theatrical cut the impact of their toxic relationship is subtly explored through Dani's traumatic experiences in the community, but in the over three hour long Director's Cut, the relationship is put on the forefront thanks to a pivotal deleted scene where Dani and Christian have a heated argument.

in the original version, there's a scene where Dani retreats to the dormitory, deeply shaken after witnessing a gruesome ritual. However, in the alternative version this scene follows the couple's intense quarrel. Instead of implying that Dani is emotionally effected by the horrors of the festival, the addition of this deleted scene shows her deteriorating emotional state is a consequence of her failing relationship. Consequently, the film's events are framed within a whole new context.

Despite being in love with the scene, Aster has explained it was cut to add more tension between the couple..
