One time in highschool I found out my history teacher was gonna make us watch this film, being a giga sperg I asked if it was the directors cut, she didn't know what that was
As we were watching it, I realized very early on it was the theatrical cut cause of all the cut scenes and I couldn't take it. I love the directors cut, its not perfect but I really love it and I didn't want to stain my love for the film by watching the full theatrical cut so I just walked out. I told the teacher I couldn't stand it and ditched the class.
The teacher was dumbfounded and she got mad at me the day after but it was worth it.
