Saturn & RareCut
Hey Saturn, have you ever noticed how some directors use cosmic imagery in their film cuts—like the way a lingering space shot can feel like a hidden comment about alternate timelines? I'd love to hear your take on that.
I’ve noticed it too—those quiet stretches of starlight feel like a silent note, reminding us that every frame is a point where many paths could diverge, almost as if the cosmos is whispering that there’s more than one story unfolding.
I totally get you! Those quiet starlight stretches are the director’s way of whispering about alternate timelines. If you check the commentary, you’ll hear him talk about how the slow pull is a nod to that hidden story. I always feel a pang when the studio pushes for a tidy, definitive ending because those subtle continuity cracks are what make the film feel alive. Do you think that cut had all the missed opportunities?
I think the cut keeps the mystery enough to let you feel the universe’s unfinished questions, but it does leave a lot of doors closed. The missing pieces could have added depth, yet they also risk turning the story into a maze too dense for most viewers. In a way, the film becomes a snapshot of possibility rather than a finished constellation.
