Just got mine yesterday and loved the Untitled version, and especially loved the commentary with Crowe and his mother. It was like a high school reunion with the best reminiscing conversations imaginable.
Follow Ups:
as great as Apocolypse Now was....it's like a completely different film with these crutial scenes restored--I can see the how and why of removing them for theatrical release--except for the scenes with Brando, which are essential--oh so essentialbrilliant, inspired, psychadelic....lacking superlatives here...
i couldn't wait to see the scenes that were cut from the origional theatrical release, so i just skipped ahead and watched them all, but you can't, you just can't...the film is so good you just get sucked in
and in the end
Brando is worth every penny
at first, you feel like Brando is so horribly miscast--so pathetically unprepaired--so completely out of touch with Conrad's story and the sickness of the jungle and the insanity of command
at first, you see him as an affected, self-impressed high school kid in the senior class play--he's so casual, so removed, so ordinary, so incompetent...he's not in character...he's nothing at all...like he's not even there
and the juxtaposition of this absence of personality with Coppola's recreation of the heat, the stench, the filth, the soddeness, the cordite smoke and the forboding doom --the jungle closing in--smothering all the light
terrifing (Brando is McNamarra)
how could Coppola have known?
six stars
highest recommendation
