No, people need the explicit version to see it the way the filmmaker intended.

The additional explicit material makes up, at best, three minutes, five max. The other additional 87 minutes are more about developing the other people in Joe's life, presenting new material about her character that makes her arguably more sympathetic, pitiful or loathsome.

If you really think the purpose of this, or any other quality movie, is to convey a "point", why don't you give me $10, spend three hours mowing my lawn or something, and I'll just TELL you the "point", so you won't have to watch ANY of the movie.
