Apocalypse Now [Director's Cut] (Blu-ray)

Apocalypse Now / Apocalypse Now. Redux version

There is no point in retelling the movie "Apocalypse Now". There is hardly a person left who has not yet viewed this work about the horrors of war. Vietnam War. And any other war. One of the main lines of John Miliu's original script was: "They teach guys to burn people with fire, but they'll never let them write swear words on airplanes." And in the words of Joseph Conrad: “I hate the stench of lies.” The new, complete and final version of the film tries to explain this idea to today's young people, boys and girls who have to live in this terrible immoral world, and who hope to live honestly. As a result of all this, the film added 49 minutes that had not previously existed; the film became more philosophical, sexier, funnier, quirkier, more romantic and more politically intriguing. New ideas run through the entire film: scenes on a French plantation appeared; playboy scene expanded; a new scene with a patrol boat at the beginning of the journey along the river; a new scene featuring Brando appeared - a scene that could not have been shown twenty years ago, because this topic was covered in a thick layer of lies in America. Ultimately, the goal of the new version was to achieve a richer, fuller and more nuanced sense of what Vietnam was like back then: the naivety, madness, excitement, horror, sensitivity and moral dilemma of America's most surreal and nightmarish war.
