Trivia

According to the Blu-ray behind-the-scenes information, the original rough cut of the film ran 3 hrs 15 min, including more detailed exposition of Aaron's small-town country life and discussions with his former junior high school teacher. The scenes were cut partly for running time and partly to avoid the producers 'tipping their hand" and alerting the audience to the ultimate ending. See more »
