In Reply to: RE: A word on "Director's cut," in general: posted by tinear on November 18, 2007 at 06:32:42
I agree in general. In fact the director's cuts of "Blood Simple" and "Tom Jones" are SHORTER than their theatrical release versions. On the other hand I think that the longer versions of both "Apocalypse Now" and "Cinema Paradiso" improve the fims although I recognize that I am in the minority here.

yes, for high school boys that like soft porn with their films and to be spoon fed "the message," I'd agree with you.
Actually, I think some of the tedious riding along the delta could easily have been edited down, too. One needn't be bored to understand the feeling.
The rubber plantation, though interesting, showed Willard to be GI scum like everyone else and not some "special guy" on a special mission.

For me it was as though the playmate scene was some weird trip in a giant outhouse -- mud, rain and no way home on acid -- apocalyptic reality of persons completely at the end of the road with no means available?
Concur completely about the plantation/(French history-lesson) scenes.
