Great movie. But the fact that Charlie Sheen says he has watched it hundreds of times is pretty disturbing.

No black men on front lines giving their lives to save the USA like Denzel's Glory. Wouldn't interest white getbiggers since they are looking for a civil war when mexicans annex border states.

Mad respect for any Black man are white man for that matter who ever served in the forces before the Iraq war 1. After that war, its obvious that every war jumped the shark and the humans who fight in them are lazy/naive/psychos. Before the internet=RESPECT. Post internet=RETARDED. The only boogie man of the 21st century is the controlled media.

great movie..especially the uncut version that lasts over three hours..amazing film....there will never be another film like it because of the cost and due to the studios not allowing directors to make movies which show their own complete vision the way they want it like Francis ford Coppola did

Brando's colonel Kurtz was a scary and iconic figure and the way the movie builds toward his entrance and exit was awesome

70's version kicks ass Can see why Charlie has watched many time.
That 90's re cut is a hot mess, just silly.
french plantation scene features some real shitty acting

If Brando could have seen the Pro's now, he'd say "The Horror..." for sure..

You're probably right. It's been a long time since seeing AN, but I recall it to be very disturbing.

Okay.... yeah, PF is disturbing too

dr.chimps · « **Reply #19 on:** May 30, 2011, 07:06:50 AM »

It's a flawed movie in some ways, but the idea itself is brilliant, and Coppola reaching way beyond his grasp make it a classic. Really taking chances. Don't see that in Hollywood, these days.

Apocalyspe Redux is the extended version I think......Marlon Brando owns his scene, but I like Martin sheen's acting here very much.....the young Harrison Ford and many others. that movie was the start for a lot of young actors
