Well, crap. You'd think I would be aware of Coppola's Redux version. I think this was the theatrical again. Thanks for the heads-up. Now I'll have to watch the Redux version someday.
I don't think my review expressed my high regard for the movie for simply being made. It's a stunning accomplishment for Coppola. I had forgotten how many choppers he had in the air for some of those fight sequences. And there were some long moving shots that required perfect timing of so many elements to show the chaos of battle. And yes, I did see the documentary on the making of, and you're right, I would hazard to say it surpassed the movie. So many flavors of madness on the set. Everyone seemed to be peaking in their fucked-uppedness for this movie. The horror. The horror.
I'm nobody's pony.
