NegPhil Wrote:The thing with Apocalypse Now is you have to see the original cut and not the "redux". It was the first major American film to address the war in Vietnam although some would argue it's not really a Vietnam movie but a interpretation of Conrads "Heart Of Darkness". I recommend you check out "Band Of Brothers" "BlackDown" "Gallipoli" and Kubrics "Paths OfGlory".
yeah i rented the original cut. the redux version was just way too long for me to sit through. over 3 hours, no thanks. i just personally didn't enjoy the movie as much i thought it was hyped up to be.
