A Different Movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 May 2004)

I saw Apocalypse Now ages ago, but only yesterday say the director's cut, Apocalypse Now Redux. I have to say, it is not even the same movie.
The missing scenes add so much to the movie that it isn't even funny. The surfboard stealing scene, the sex scenes with the playboy bunnies, and later captain Willard's moment with Roxanne (Aurore Clément)...
This is a much more rounded movie. Just leaving out scenes let a lot of things hanging. These scenes add much needed humor, romance and humanity to a very long movie about a slow descent into hell. You get more context and start to care more about the crew.
In the end, this is simply not the same movie. 9 out of 10
