Hot take: Should deleted scenes be kept out of the final cut to preserve pacing?
I just watched that alternate ending for Parasite where the son buys the house, and it totally changes the vibe of the movie. On one hand, it gives a happier closure, but the original bleak ending is what made the film stick with me for days. Do you think directors should protect their vision, or is it cool for fans to want a more satisfying resolution?

I get what you're saying about the Parasite alternate ending, it definitely flips the whole tone. But when you say "satisfying resolution," I gotta ask - would a happy ending really be more satisfying, or would it just feel like a cop-out that undoes everything the movie worked so hard to build? Because for me, the bleak ending is what makes the film honest, like it's not trying to pretend everything works out nicely. So why do audiences feel entitled to a "better" ending when the director clearly chose the one that hits hardest?

But it's not actually an alternate ending, they just joked about it in the commentary.
