When can scissors stop flying?

Walking out of the late-night movie theater, standing under the quiet eaves and watching the pattering rain in the night sky, I was once satisfied that this movie brought me a good night.
It's just that there is always some unwillingness in my heart, I always feel that such a movie is missing a lot of things I should have seen. In the film, the transition of the plot is so blunt and unnatural. Intuitively, it shouldn't be missing anything from what it's just shown on film footage.
After half an hour, turn on the computer and search.
Sure enough, scissors! Scissors again! ! Or the scissors! ! !
I guessed the existence of this scissors, but I didn't guess its ruthlessness.
A full 45 minutes... speechless.
I remember watching an interview with a film director before. He said that every second of the scene he shot with his own hands was his own hard work. Every second you cut when censored is a cut to the heart.
Now, 45 minutes of this movie have been cut alive, which is the length of an entire episode of a TV series, and the director who made this movie has to be distressed to what extent!
Scissorhands are always there, cutting a good movie into pieces, and I have already changed from initial surprise to anger, and then to numbness.
But no matter how numb you are, whenever you see the ruthlessness of scissors hands, you can't help but feel lost again and again, and the shame of being deceived will always appear for a while.
Why isn't there a grading system in place? It's a huge shame how many good movies have been killed because of it.

    It's actually a very good work, but if you watch it for the first time, you can't notice many details. The film's description of the psychological impact of war on people can be described as nuanced

    【YVR-SJC】Complementary standard. As a political student, I like this film very much. World War II movies, non-main Warring States (Netherlands) movies that can be influential in the world, have twists and turns and are very engaging. But to put it bluntly, it is more than neat, but it is still confined to the theme of World War II. Seeking stability rather than innovation is certainly not a reason for flaws or criticism, but it would be better if a director of Verhoeven's level could have some unique personal ideas.
