Well if you like one version of a movie you should like a slightly different version also! There is nothing essential lost in the shorter version but I do not see why those parts were cut. They are character moments in a character driven movie, and some of them are even fun. None of them are awkward. The most significant cut is where Lily attempts to call her father. Clearly she is conflicted.

I prefer the longer Director's Cut, although I only have it in lower quality. I suppose I could buy the Blu, which is cheap.

I have it. Would people like me to post a rip of the Director's Cut?

Nice! I was not able to complete the more recent RELeases here and from eMule Search (do not know which version they are) so I went back to the older ones and to streaming sources (vimeo, ok.ru) for the theatrical. Thank you deadman!

It has been a whole week since you posted so I was beginning to worry.

I would feel bad if I even bruised you! :cry:

You don't need to feel bad. The reason why I'm so silent you can found in that posting: https://www.first-loves.com/forums/view ... =3&t=13412

I'm in a movie festival mood. So I watching some nice movies and write about them. This (and some other private stuff) consume lot of time.

Wait ... are you saying that you are NOT one of those people who watches movies and posts online on their phone at the same time, so that they are NEVER Internet-disconnected? You actually have to spend your time focused on the movies?

Wow. It is nice to know that there are a few of us left.

Those look like some good movies you have been seeing!

An FLM classic, starring 13-year-old Dakota Fanning. This of course is the longer Director's Cut: 1h 53m 51s in length. If you want to know exactly what's in it that is different from the theatrical version go here: https://www.first-loves.com/forums/view ... =20#p87281 (thanks Night457!).

I included the English, French, and Spanish subs from the disc. They are off by default because the soundtrack is in English - but these are the type that appear in different parts of the screen depending on who's talking, to be as close as possible to the character saying the words, which I think is neat. Anyway ... enjoy this wonderful film! :D

First Like!

The past few days have seen a super-abundance of exciting new releases, so please do not be offended that I do not start eMuling your monster-size file right away. My queue is full and I can not keep up! I am definitely going to get this one though.
