Deleted Scenes well worth watching

This "Deleted Scenes" DVD Extra is the delightful, polar opposite of the kind that leave you thinking, "No wonder *those* got chopped and dropped to the cutting room floor."

Viewing this additional material, one might wonder why the filmmakers cut any of it, especially some of the more personal and laugh-provoking anecdotes. I submit it's a reasonable and educated guess that Director Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and Editor Johanna Giebelhaus found it tough to turn these segments into outtakes. Most likely, no one involved in crafting "Tony Morrison: The Pieces I Am" thought it would viable as a 2-hour-and-19-minute documentary, so *something* had to go.

These deleted segments provide further worthwhile insights into Morrison, her friendships and her family. Some bring out more of her lighthearted humor. Yet, her deeply serious commitment to the craft of writing and its role in fostering justice comes to the fore in the final segment, "Toni and Toni." Who is the other "Toni," and what connected her with Morrison in ways advancing literature and equity? Discover by viewing all of this well-worth-watching DVD special feature.

Self - Interviewee: [Robert Gottlieb, on his many years of being both the editor of Toni Morrison's novels and her friend/colleague] Our only clashes have been about commas, because I like commas, and Toni doesn't like commas. Finally, after *all these books* it occurred to me why we have this problem, which is I was either too stupid or just not interested enough, or whatever, to think of before. And it's because Toni, as you know, is a fabulous reader aloud, and she *hears* her prose. So that, when she's writing she hears what she's writing. I believe that she hears the pauses that commas suggest to a reader. But the reader isn't hearing her *speak* it, so we don't know where those pauses are, without those vital, adorable little commas. And we'll just say... 'Ok, Ok', and she'll say, 'Ok, you can have that one but you can't have *this* one', and it's a joke.
