Harvey Weinstein wants to cut 20 minutes from the movie and Hurt claims to know which those 20 minutes will be and is not happy about it.

Sir John once said that Bong Joon Ho is very much like Hitchcock in his style. I’ve noticed Easter eggs paying homage to Hitchcock in Parasite. There was literally a Hitchcock biography book in the shelf. Sir John knew Bong had his talent as a director and he would have loved to see him shine

Yeah, now that you mention it, the most impressive thing - AFTER John Hurt slating Weinstein and defending the film so honestly yet politely - is that the interviewer did such a good job of letting Hurt do that without going full tabloid OR just trying to play it off and avoid the danger of "someone criticised Harvey Weinstein in 2014". Both interviewer and interviewed did a great job.

Attached to the blade was a stark message: "No cuts." The director chortles. "Actually, my producer did that. Although I did go to New York to meet this man, this Harvey Weinstein, and I was bombarded with this aggressive attack, all these demands for cuts." He smiles. "I defeated him."' - From The Guardian

John tried to very politely decline, by saying he's nowhere near handsome enough to play that historical figure. The aspiring filmmaker didn't give up though. Hurt politely held his ground but never got ratty with the guy, even though IMO he'd have been well within his rights to.

Supposedly it was supposed to cut all scenes which were philosophical and extended the discussion about class differences through types of trains, making it a cheap dystopian action movie.

The scene where they cut the fish and I believed it followed by the night goggles fight scene. I forgot why Boon wanted to keep it so much, but apparently he lied to Weinstein and said it symbolic because his dad was a fisherman. Because Weinstein was such a dick, I never got to see Snowpiercer on the big screen.
