Cut Scenes
Onmyoji (2001)
| Doson
Contemplates His Next Move |
|
|
After his recent plan failed at the
hands of Seimei, Doson returns to his shrine to
plan his next move against the Mikado's regime.
Doson sits quietly in the dark with his familiar,
contemplating his next means of attack, while petting
the small bird. |
|
| Background |
| A frivolous scene that was not only unneeded
in the final cut, but also addresses some questionable
development for the film's antagonist: Doson.
For a man who would slaughter countless for
his cause, to have a scene of him petting his
small familiar affectionately seems out of place.
It could be conceived that the director, Yojiro
Takita, perhaps felt at one point there wasn't
enough interaction between the two characters
leading up to the bird's death and Doson's remorse.
However, in the final cut, this works out for
the best as Doson's affection is seen more as
a hidden trait that only comes out as the bird
sacrifices its own life to save its master. |

| Lady Aone's
Escorts |
|
|
After Doson's failed attempt to kill
Lady Aone, the injured Aone is escorted out of the
city at night by Seimei, Hiromasa, and Mitsumushi
to Sawara's shrine. |
|
| Background |
| A short scene that, in context, would have drastically
hurt the pacing. The transition from the capital,
where Aone is injured, during the day to Sawara's
shrine at night is sufficent as it appears in the
final cut. The viewer can gather that party made
their way to the shrine without actually being shown
this event taking place. |
