THE 2001 VERSION APOCALYPSE NOW 1979

Rating: 9/10 (7 December 2003)

This was more diverse though times seem slow but more DISTURBING! Well,
the movie based on Oscar award original added footage though not really
significant, still made more of a diverse dimension, thus more likely how
realistically disturbing bizarre, Vietnam war was. The complaints of the playboy bunnies added footage was typical of a USO Bob Hope Entertainment gave
more moral boost to an already downtrodden depressed US troops felt hung out to dry, by US Gov. since the USA was so divided over Vietnam, seemed more of
a political war at expense of American troops, lost the war to the communists anyway. Oddly, great cast from excellent director Francis Ford Coppola to cast Martin Sheen( Capt. Willard lead his crew seek out Kurtz),Marlon ( went loony colonel role Kurtz) Brando among other prominent actors had difficulty
throughout film making, based on reviews I read on the original 1979 version, like had their own mini bizarre Vietnam experience. All in all, this
semidocumentary/ war film depicted the diverse yet dark side of humans when
hope seems light years away. 9/10 A Must see over again, WARNING! get
plenty of rest & protein bars to hang in on longer version 203min. This WAS
Vietnam NOT ABOUT Vietnam.
