I must admit, I get the emotional connection part. on my first edit, I liked how concise it was, but after I added in those heavily cut night out scenes, I found myself liking Katy more and I felt like the bit where she falls off the building had more emotional impact.
I think Shaun needs these emotional stakes.... Katy is like his link to his life in America, and he's delving into his dark past and Katy is his tether. I do think she is important, just not how she was presented in the original cut.
I actually think the intro scene shows how Shaun and Katy are joined at the hip. They are essentially married to each other as friends. The night out scenes really does present that and without them, I do think the movie is missing something. It does bother me because those scenes are awkward, but I think the heavy edits bring in a compromise.
I'm still listening though, we have time for more previewers. I should make a topic over at Original Trilogy.
