watch the original version if you haven't seen it. redux scenes arent essential and will probably make the movie seem too slow and meandering. if you've already watched it then go ahead and see the redux if you really want to.

also check out the documentary hearts of darkness when you're finished.

It's the GOAT war movie (and one of the best movies in general), but yes, you should watch the original first.

There are two unnecessary scenes in Redux (the rest is fine IMO): the scene with the Playboy bunnies is boring and the French plantation scene, while beautifully shot, brings the story to a halt.

Yeah, wtf was that about :why:

The whole director's cut seemed surreal, but its like they jacked that whole scene from some random French movie and shot it in like heroin

Its a cool scene though

We Were Soldiers just might be the GOAT. I love SPR and BoB but fukk WWS was just raw.


Lot of other options out there too.

Both versions of the movie (original and redux) suck. Don't watch it. It's top 3 overrated movie of all time. The only decent thing in that movie is young Morpheus.

Doesnt measure up to the original because of pacing, but there are some really interesting scenes in it.
