I feel like watching a film. Ive decided to watch Apocalypse now, seeing as its my favourite film. But the question is; Do I watch the origional, or the redux version?
Apocalypse now... but which one?

You really don't have a very good taste in music or films do you. You don't like Pink Floyd or Apoclaypse now! Pfth! Go back to the sound of music and westlife or whatever your into!

Well ive just watched the origional Apocalypse Now, and I still hold it to being one of the greatest films ever made IMO. Im certainly not one for saying somethings good or bad because of what others say, I instead make up my own mind. I agree that Platoon is a very good film, but tbh I don't think they are hugely comparable. Platoon is much more of an action war film, where as I see Apocalypse Now having much more to do with the morality and psychology of war. A lot of people find it to be a very slow and boring film, but the elements that cause this are the same elements that cause me to like the film so much. I love the way the story and narrative meanders along in the same way that the boat meanders up the stream. also a lot of the film is methaphorical which I like, as I don't like films that give you everything on a plate. I much prefer films that make you think. Each to their own, but I love it.
