just saw final cut ergo apocalypse now power rankings
1 theatrical
2 hearts of darkness
3 bootleg
4 final
5 redux
NOW this looks bad but it was actually my favourite viewing of the film. could have just been the imax theater but i internalized it in many ways i havent before, like how muddy and loud it is or how dehumanized everyone feels
ALSO if it werent for that crum suckin plantation scene it would prolly be at #2. at risk of regurgitating mass opinions it truly is an indefensible choice to leave the scene in. you're on this grizzly meditative drug trip and it just kills the momentum.
also also the choice to [actual final cut-specific plot spoiler]
NOT BLOW UP THE COMPOUND?? blew my mind
and i actually think i endorse it
highly recommend i felt better about life while watching it its a big emotional pile of movie
eww. whoever moved my post from trumpocalypse now to this thread deserves a month long ban. but we all know internal investigations won't turn up anything

and i think in and of itself the plantation scene is fine, and think it works in the bootleg cut, but on this viewing it felt out of place. he even says never get off the boat!
