At some point five scenes were cut from the theatrical version, which were restored in the Extended Version. It is unclear whether or not the cuts have a censorship background. Either way, there is a pattern which affects audience's perception of the movie: most scenes involve Helen giving Glenn a pep talk regarding his dream because he has his doubts about it. All cut dialogue can be found on the "movie-censorship" site, and German dubs of the scenes concerned are available on YouTube.
