    Directors cut? I saw that on 16mm a while back. Good times.

    Nah, just the original "short" 2.5 hour one. It was free on Netflix. The redux version adds 49 mins, but wasn't available.

    I think that version of Wilson Fisk backstory in FMJ is more interesting than the DD one. Great movie.

    Underrated Vietnam flick. Hamburger Hill. Was told by a SOG vet that it was the most realistic he had seen.

    FFC in his prime - a thing to behold. He never fully recovered from One From the Heart

    Amazing film; amazing music. Check out the list of musicians in the credits. I've never read Heart of Darkness, but have read many of Conrad's other novels. I agree that film is pure, concentrated Conrad all the way through

    I read heart of Darkness in high school, didn't really like it, too long and wordy, but I liked the idea. I'm surprised how well a movie based in Vietnam could stick to the original plot of the book though. Everything happened almost exactly the same way, with some added bits (pretty sure Conrad never wrote about surfing).
