| Aspect | Finding | |--------|---------| | | Approx. 5 minutes | | Primary character focus | Eric Dale, Peter Sullivan, Sam Rogers, Will Emerson | | Deleted scene with strongest thematic link | Peter’s bridge flashback (engineering failure = financial failure) | | Scene that would have most altered tone | Sam & junior trader (adds overt sentimentality) | | Director’s likely reason for cuts | Preserve clinical, procedural tension; avoid visual cliché; trust audience to infer backstory |
