The box looks like a small metal clasp closed manila folder.I recommend watching the original 1979 version first and then watching the Redux version.
Some people feel that the original is better at building up suspense knowing that the final confrontation is going to be very climatic and that the extra scenes in Redux are too much of a lull.I think Redux and its extra scenes add to the suspense myself and they add a little depth to the relationship of the different characters.
That is just my opinion though and I have not viewed the original 1979 version of Apocalypse Now in some time.I will have to view both versions when I get my Bluray copy in the mail.Hopefully it will come in by Friday so I can sit down and watch them back to back Friday and Saturday.Perhaps I can convince my wife and daughter to go shopping or something Saturday that way it will be just the dogs the cats and me lounging around watching Apocalypse Now...sounds like a plan
Anyway when you get a hold of a copy let us know what your favorite scene is.I would list my favorite scene but I dont want to a have a positive or negative influence on you.I always find that hearing about a scene from someone kind of ruins the effect it has on me because I already have a preconceived notion.I will tell you that it is not the part where the Air Cav raids the village.
