I saw it on the Internet last year that Coppola had another move on "Apocalypse Now". In addition to the regular 4K restoration, it was 30 minutes longer than the original 153 minutes, or 183 minutes. Immediately afterwards, some netizens told me that there was a 202-minute version on YouTube, but I just don’t know if Coppola was “appointed”. After the Spring Festival this year, I saw "Apocalypse Now" marked "Dual Disc 4K Reproduction" in a Blu-ray store, so I placed an order, but it was more than half a year before I could see it. Not long ago, at the Shanghai Film Festival, I saw a 4K restoration of "Apocalypse Now" from the film list, which made people in Shanghai feel envious. Unexpectedly, it came to Beijing in just over a month. To be honest, this is the only movie I want to see in the theater this film festival. So it was grabbed the first time the ticket was issued. Also, this time the Beijing International Film Festival really has nothing to attract me to the cinema, so this "Apocalypse Now" which is called the "4K restoration final cut", or Coppola is simply a success. Is my savior. As expected, Coppola did not disappoint me at all. Knowing the length of the movie, so I emptied my stomach in advance, bought a bottle of water, and sat down comfortably on my seat-I soon entered the scene, and soon I was immersed in those familiar sections that could no longer be familiar. Soon three hours passed, and the result was-enjoyable, so enjoyable! What a fucking "blockbuster", this is a blockbuster! Today, more than forty years later, the development and innovation of film technology is jaw-dropping, but the blockbuster warfare we have seen are nothing but "Hacksaw Ridge" and "1917". These two films are undoubtedly masterpieces of the year/masterpieces, but when they are put together with "Apocalypse Now", why are they so thin? What went wrong? ! I don't want to say anything to Apocalypse Now. People have said enough and too much about this movie. I have already said everything I wanted to say. So all I can say at this time is: This is a great movie, but also a good-looking movie. Although there are boring times, it can always hold you tightly, like all good movies, let you spend three hours without knowing it. And isn’t this what commercial entertainment movies most want to do? Isn’t this what Marvel and DC want to do most? "Apocalypse Now" was released in 1979. The New Hollywood Movement in the late decade. It can be said that it is a movie that is impossible to make today, and what can be done today is to repair it with new technology. It is even a work with various shortcomings-its shortcomings are as obvious as its charm. This has allowed the critics and film critics who praised and denied it to arguing for many years. But in general, it is the kind of film with the most direct impact, the kind of work that is as complicated and ambiguous as life itself, although some people continue to say that Coppola’s ambitions are too great, even the "Apocalypse Now" "It did not reach the brilliance on the surface, especially the closing part of the film, which failed to really push the film to a climax. However, it is still my favorite movie and the No. 1 war movie in my mind. If you have a chance, don't miss watching this movie on IMAX. Whether you want to find some entertainment or want to experience a truly great movie, "Apocalypse Now" will not let you down. When watching a movie, there is a question that keeps lingering in the mind-is this a movie that can be enjoyed on DVD? Of course, maybe all movies were originally made not for the screen, but for the big screen, but it is true that some movies especially cannot withstand the torture of the screen, such as Kubrick and David. Lean's movie. Due to well-known reasons, even in super cities like Beijing and Shanghai, there is rarely a chance to see "2001 Space Odyssey" or "Lawrence of Arabia" on the big screen. We can only enjoy them on DVD. But what is certain is that I will not enjoy them as much as when I watch them in a theater. So, back to the question of "what went wrong", VCD, DVD, BD, these media themselves are a big variable in determining the art form. As the medium has changed, art itself must also change. Whether it is watching TV with a reunion dinner, or watching a video with a few buddies, or a group of people staring at a big screen in the dark, these are of course all different forms. To put it another way, if you ask me to watch a video on a certain weekend, we can watch Shaw Brothers' martial arts movies, we can watch "Disc Movies", we can watch "BJ Singles Diary", I would never want to watch it with you "Apocalypse Now", whether it is the original version or the restored version. Back to "Apocalypse Now". As a great movie, there are too many things that attract you or make you think about it. The genius of the director, the skill of photography, the appropriateness of the actors, the fascinating story, a good movie is nothing more than a combination of all these, which is everything in "Apocalypse Now". You will be Robert. The Marine Corps commander portrayed by Duval is amazing-in fact, the whole helicopter scene, from the beginning to the end, will make people think of how much technological advancement has made war movies. This scene also made commentators believe that the movie had reached its climax prematurely. You will think of the behind-the-scenes story of this movie, its disasters, how the whole filming story became the prototype of the movie story it tells, how it became a metaphor for the war that Americans fell into the subtropical forest (see documentary "Hearts of Darkness"). Before this film, Coppola became famous in the world film scene with "The Godfather", "The Godfather 2" and "Dialogue", and he became a man of heaven. However, what was originally a vacation in the Philippines turned into a nightmare that lasted for two years, bankrupted him, almost disintegrated his family, and was seriously exhausted. However, all this was not in vain. It now appears that this is not only the best movie about the Vietnam War, but also the best war movie, and it is also a movie that reflects the mood of the United States in the 1960s and 70s. As for this extended repair version, I think the repair and supplementation make the film smoother, the characters and the story background are clearer, especially the sound, which can only be described as "shock". However, all of these have not changed much of its weaknesses (such as the ending). 2020-08-29
