Apocalypse Now: The Complete Dossier (DVD, 2006, 2-Disc Set)

In my opinion this Film is simply one of the Greatest Movies ever to have been made.Most people who feel the same way have either already bought the Original DVD,or the Redux version(An additional 46 minutes is added to the Movie)which was released in 2001.It is also,along with "The Deerhunter" and "Full Metal Jacket" a must have "Classic" of Vietnam War Movies.

A brief overview of the Film itself is that a Captain Willard(Played superbly by Martin Sheen)is is Saigon awaiting a "Mission".He is finally asked to locate and kill a certain Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) who has set up a Cult with a tribe way down river, and the authorities state that Kurtz has lost his senses and needs "Eliminating" immediately.
This mission begins a journey which tests Willard to his limits,and nearly drives him mad.

Enough of the story as anybody who bought this would know this by heart.This version of the DVD is a movie buffs dream as it includes not only the Original, and Redux versions but a full commentary by Director Francis Ford Coppola,and numerous documentaries,trailers etc which will keep any fan of the film occupied for a long time.

The quality of the photography has also been cleaned up considerably and we now have a nice clean print of a film that originally was a little "Muddy" in this area.I bought this for about £10.00 which is a bargain and I would recommend this DVD without reservation to fans of the film.

If you haven't seen the Film maybe the Original,or Redux versions might be the best place to start and if you enjoy those this should be your next purchase.

A good-although somewhat warped Vietnam War movie, for men & women that were
actually in Vietnam, it begins the adventures for a Army Officer who is
assigned to "special operations". This assignment, he is given, is to kill
or "terminate" an Army Colonel who has gone rogue and raised his army of
Cambodian natives and are raising havoc with the North Vietnamese and Viet-
Cong enemies. Willard, the army killer, goes on a hunt-with different encounters until he finds the Colonel played by Marlon Brando-in perhaps his
best movie effort. The final 40 minutes of the film deal with Brando and
Martin Sheen fighting or trying to understand each other. A good movie for
War movie buffs and adventure movie watchers.

One of the greatest depictions of the Vietnam War on film. Coppola who had just done the first two "Godfather" films struck gold once again with this magnificent work of art. Disturbing but truthful. A who's who cast with individuals like Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, Dennis Hopper, and many more. A great piece of art. Highly recommend!!!

This is the about the best movie ever made! "A crawls along the edge of a straight razor, Walks slowly, Crawls slowly, And survives this is my dream it is a NIGHTMARE" Brando, Sheen, Hopper! What else can you need" I love the smell Of Naplam in the moring ,That smell that gasoline smell. IT SMELLS LIKE VICTORY"Robert Duvall and added bonus! Lawerence Fishborne was 15 when he play the part on the P.T. Boat unreal! We can't surf here this Charlies point no way we can surf here" Robert Duvall "Charlie Don't Surf!

Awesome in every way!!! It includes both the original and redux version. This is one of the best told stories of the Vietnam War, though I've never read an account of such a story. That said, it does a magnificent job of telling the small stories (i.e. how the soldiers felt, etc.). Great music, etc. This is a must own!!!!!
