The newest release of Apocalypse Now passed through KC with about eight showings at most and left town.I couldn't make any of the showings but I'm still interested if the movie goes to a more widespread release.I haven't seen anything in the local news outlets so I'm wondering if anyone has heard about this movie's release plans.

on VN war pics especially since Ken Burns drove the final nails in the VN coffin. With the generational shift, war films won't play the role they once did. Just "boomers" like me will always take interest in the last century's wars.

  Except for AN isn't just a war movie, it's a cinematic masterpiece that's also a sort of morality/psychological play. It' not just some Audie Murphy movie. I've meant for a long time to read Joseph Conrad's, "Heart of Darkness." I will have to get around to it one day.
  
  One straight up Vietnam war movie that I though was worthwhile was, "The Siege of Firebase Gloria." It was a B movie that didn't get a lot of play, but was a really good war movie that seemed to be realistic.

    Being a VN vet, I always tell people that AN best expresses the VN experience more so than any other film. It captures the absurdity and madness that went on there. Yes, it really was a Disney Land for adults.
    
    Unfortunately, AN has been worn out from overexposure.

All I can say is, I saw the Directors Cut many years ago, and I thought it was not as good as the original release. The parts they cut out from the director's cut should have been cut out.

- Yep, all the extraneous footage/plot detours screwed up the fine pacing/tension... - musetap 20:55:17 09/06/19 (0)
  They were interesting in and of themselves but were a distraction overall.
