That was fair.

 

But I like to get back to topic.

 

Today I got my "Complete Dossier" of Apocalypse Now.

I only watched half of the Cinematic Version, and its my first time ever to see this great movie. (Jeah, I am an Apocalyptic Now virgin, I have to admit it...)

On one hand I would really like to see the complete full 5 1/2 hour Version, and put a 3 Disc Version of it right next to the Complete Dossir and the original german VideoCD cinematic version, but on the other hand I fear the raw quality. Its something strange feeling. I never watched the Hellraiser 4 rawcut contained in the german official release, because its so.. so... even some 10 time copied VHS Films looked better 10 Years ago...

 

and then: I LOVED the first half of the Cinematic Version of the movie, I think an complete uncut and original 5 1/2 hour version of this epic war critisim would be the best thing happened to such a masterpiece...

The poor thing: I don't have anything to offer :( its hard to get such stuff in germany, I you don't know the right guys.

 

The german DVD release of the normal cinematic ~150 min version is very expensive .. sometimes 25 $ and more on eBay. One guy wants about 100$..

 

EDIT:

Someone on ebay is selling original requisites from the Movie set:

Vietnam Identity Card

Empty Confidential Envelope

Edition of Saigon Post

copy of handmade sketch of 'real' journey of Captain Willard

 

I'm not gonna bid on them, but maybe someone here interessted.
