Classic

Rating: Null/10 (12 February 2000)

What can I say about this absolutely classic movie that hasn't been said in most of the IMDB comments. I really believe that this is filmmaking at its finest, the acting, direction and photography are all top notch.
I do have a question for anyone who may read this comment. I first viewed this film on a PAL (UK) videocassette and although I thought it overall to be brilliant then, I did feel the story was slightly tainted by the ending. The version I saw did not show Willard actually attack Kurtz also the scene with the Water Buffalo being sacrificed by Kurtz' followers was not included. I have searched high and low and I cannot find any explanation for these edits on the PAL version. I recently viewed the movie again on a region 1 DVD and the scenes described above were included which I thought was a more fitting ending to a excellent piece of American filmmaking.
If anybody can shed any light on the UK release in question, please contact me on the above Email address.
