I mean think if someone else who doesn't have any of idea of the context of the film had edited Kurosawa's films or the famous film of Dessica 'Bicycle thief'. I really doubt the films would have had the same appeal they have now. I feel the editor should have perfect knowledge of what is the director's point of view and where does the focus lie! The rest have to be left upon the audience as how they read the film. Well…in that case I doubt how much justice can be done to the film maker’s point of view.
