Bergman finds the “universal significance in private agonies.” Last day editing Mark, and I’m glad. I need a break from it. It’s too personal, there’s too much baggage, and I’m trying so hard to be objective that I’m losing sight of everything.
Cutting Mark has been hard on the both of us, and I’m glad this is the last day…for now. Because I still don’t have him. There’s something missing. We’ve cut the following sequences with him:
Introduction to Mark at his old office including interaction with Nick and Todd
Mark and Kanya having dinner at Yamada-san’s
Mark at the Craft Dinner
Kanya singing at 7 Seas Marina
Mark at the New OfficeóHe makes a Placement
Mark Exercising, getting ready for work and Eating Kanya’s home-prepared Breakfast
Patrick has asked to cut Cloudy next. He says he needs a break…that he’s burned out. He thinks that Cloudy will be easier as he is always moving…always dynamic. And, if he has a dark side, we never saw it.
