Sometimes, a director and the studio disagree over what the final cut of a film should be. The studio usually wins in these cases, of course. The "director's cut" is the cut which the director wanted to use.

?

So, for example,?there may be?a scene which?the director liked, but which?the studio refused to include in the theatrical release. The director's cut would add that scene back in.

What does uncut mean in movie terms?

To my knowledge, "uncut" in movie terms can mean either of two things:1) Many NC-17 movies are censored down to an R rating. The R-rated version is released in theatres, to increase box office sales. No one under 17 can see an NC-17 movie in theatres -- even if they have a parent or guardian with them -- so releasing an NC-17 movie means that you will lose all ticket sales for the under-17 crowd. Usually, when an NC-17 movie is censored down to an R rating, the NC-17 version (the uncut version) is later released on DVD.2) Sometimes a movie is just too long, and the studios will demand that it be shortened, against the director's wishes. The shortened version is shown in theatres, and the original version (called the "Director's Cut") will be released on DVD.Note: other times, "Director's Cut" doesn't mean that parts of the movie were cut for the theatre version. Sometimes, "Director's Cut" means that parts of the movie were CHANGED for the theatre version. Just to name one example out of a thousand, there are two versions of the Stephen King movie 1408. The "Director's Cut" has a different ending.

Does a movie director need to know math?

Yes. You need to be good at math in everything you do. If you want to be a movie director sometimes when you cut out a scene you have to do quick math to see how long the movie will be. Sorry, I wasn't happy hearing that either but its true!
