Koray Savas 2,253 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Yeah mine spans beyond those 3 that I mentioned. Scarily enough, I think I'm getting close to buying all the Criterion titles I've wanted. Can't be more than 5-10 left that I'm actively interested in.

A24 4,378 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 What's great about the Apocalypse Now Blu-ray is that it offers you a choice: Regular or Redux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,282 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I've never seen the Redux. I doubt Coppola released it with artistic reasons in mind. Is it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,378 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm not a big fan of either version. I hoped that the Redux version would make me see the greatness that so many other people see in it. Well, it didn't. Not that I don't like the film, I'm just not one of its admirers. I always liked The Conversation more, I always thought that one was Coppola's masterpiece ... but it's been ages ago since I've seen that film. I want the Blu-ray!Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,400 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 I've only seen the theatrical. I'm always weary of longer cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,282 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 The Redux comes from that era in the early 2000's where esteemed directors suddenly released longer "improved" versions. Friedkin for The Exorcist, Coppola with the Redux, Spielberg with E.T. Suddenly classic films were found to be incomplete and lacking according those who made them....But it was just a fad, brought of by the success of the Star wars SE's I guess. And DVD, which had made the inclusion of deleted scenes popular.At least Ridley Scott was honest enough to say the theatrical cut of Aliens was the version he favored...Does anyone still watch deleted scenes on new releases?

filmmusic 1,932 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Does anyone still watch deleted scenes on new releases?I do, at least in films that interest me.Eg. i recently watched the deleted scenes in Willow.They were quite interesting.They had this scene with a large piranhas-like fish, but as they said they encountered the same problem with Jaws, and the whole thing wasn't believable at all, so they discarded the scene.http://uk.ign.com/videos/2013/03/12/willow-fish-boy-deleted-scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,819 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I've only seen the theatrical. I'm always weary of longer cuts.Some longer cuts are better than the originals: "The Abyss", "Dances With Wolves" to name but two. i wouldn't give you tuppence for any of these "harder" cuts, though. Does any-one really need to see more of the remake of "Total Recall"?"AN:Redux" has the French plantation scene, and that was its main selling-point.Alex, "The Conversation" is, indeed a great film. If you can, try to watch the Blu-Ray with the new sound mix by Walter Murch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does any-one really need to see more of the remake of "Total Recall"?Funny, i was just thinking that although I like longer cuts too, and i like Dances With wolves, i don't like certain scenes:eg. the scene that shows what happens in the fort before Costner arrives. In the theatrical cut it was more mysterious without having these early scenes.Also, although I prefer the Alien 3 longer cut, I don't like at all the last scene with Ripley. I prefer the theatrical edition for that scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,633 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I saw "Apocalypse Now: Redux" in theaters back in 2000, and it was an awesome experience. Having never had seen the film before, I didn't have a clue what was "new" and what was old. And that's the thing, this isn't like some other "Extended versions" where they film new scenes, or add new special effects - this is all stuff shot by Coppola at the time he shot everything else. Surely, it's worth watching at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
