This acting performance should get more credit

>>84308474
Agreed completely. Sheen's all subtlety in this film, but goddamn does he have presence. Some trivia: Sometimes Sheen was so sick that they had his brother, Emilio Esteves, do narration for him.

His performance reminds me of this painting, which popularized the term "thousand yard stare".

he had a really shitty period in his life and even had a minor heart attack due to stress and drinking during shooting that's why some parts are narrated by his brother. GOD-tier acting

I guess Emilio did a good job, since I never realized that.

>watch apocalypse now for the first time
>watch redux version

Fuck my life, I feel like I have been robbed of a great film watching experience.

Emilio Estevez is Martin Sheen's son.

>>84308474
Yeah, his is one of my favourite film performances. I rewatch the film often and rewatch his scenes on their own sometimes, his character really speaks to me.

>Robert Duvall lost Best Supporting Actor Oscar to someone else

I mean, come on! Look at him in To Kill a Mockingbird, The Godfather, Falling Down and then this film! Would you say it is the same actor!?

>>84308474
Hard to imagine Harvey Keitel was originally cast in his role.

Shit my bad.

as a matter of fact I didn't realize they were the same person until now.

>>84308757
The titties in Apocalypse Now were great too. Youngfags who have always had high speed internet will never know this joy

Dennis Hopper doesn't get enough credit either, his mania sold the later scenes in the movie as much as Brando did.

which version is better to watch first?

>>84311095
Theatrical cut for your first time. Redux has some good stuff added, but its supplemental.

>>84309758
He probably would have did a good job. Harvey is a good actor.

>>84311095
I saw Redux first on Epix years and years ago. Still haven't seen the original to this day despite having watched Redux four more times since then.

>>84311166
Checked. Didn't Coppola fire him for a poor performance?

>>84310750
This

>>84308474
Agree. He gave the best performance

Martin Sheen is a terrible actor.

i love Sheen

there will never be a film like this again.

You heard the term method acting

but this was

method filmmaking.

>>84308679
It was Joe Estevez who did the narration pickups. Good thing he sounds very close to his brother.

>>84308474
>movies like this will never be made again

Brando is a hack.

>>84308537
Wasn't that term popularised by Dispatches, which was also one of the main sources along with Heart of Darkness the film was made out of?

>>84311095
The original. The Redux is only worth it for curiosity's sake, watch once and then never again.
