Why so many versions?

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2007)

Why so many versions? I have one of 218 minutes which is not in the several versions posted in the main page. Does any body can tell me why there are so many versions for almost all movies? I remember (not quite well) some scenes of a travel of King Feisal or his Son to Great Britain in order to make some sort of agreement. But I'm not so sure it was in this movie. Perhaps was another one that deals with the same argument of this extraordinary movie of all times. I'll be very gratefully if somebody can explain to me about the "versions". Don't understand why somebody has the right to cut a movie already made... Is an abuse, isn't it??
