Brief Synopsis:
L.A. Confidential with less focus on Bud White and Lynn Bracken and an ending more in line with the overall tone of the film.

Intention:
I absolutely love L.A. Confidential. But usually when I re-watch it, I find myself skipping past most of the Bud White and Lynn Bracken scenes. I wanted to create an edit that would cut out the parts of their storyline that kind of drag the movie. As well, I felt like the ending was a little too upbeat.

Cuts and Additions:

I trimmed almost every scene Bud and Lynn have together and cut the ending.

Cut list:

- Added FanEdit.org video logo. Added “Recut by Neglify” to the title.

- Trimmed the beginning and ending of Bud going to Lynn’s house for the first time.

- Cut out Bud and Lynn’s first sex scene.

- Trimmed their scene in bed together. Cut out reference to Bisbee, Arizona and cut it before Bud starts talking about the Night Owl case.

- Re-ordered the scene with Exley taking Inez out of the hospital. It used to come before the above scene but now it’s right after.

- Cut out scene of Exley and Lynn at the police station. As well, trimmed two lines of dialogue between Exley and Bud right before this scene.

- Cut the epilogue. The film fades to black on the image of Exley holding up his badge to the police.

- Removed the upbeat music during the end credits and replaced it with Jerry Goldsmith’s main theme. (As well I added an extra music track in the credits.)

- Cut out the “Badge of Honor” bits from the end credits as they didn’t fit with this edit.
