 Apocalypse Now Redux (2001). Movie reviews by Dr. Edwin Jahiel.
In 1979 his reasoning was that since in those days very long movies were rare, and "Apocalypse" as then edited already ran two and a half hours, a film of almost three and half hours, and one that was not an orthodox war movie, would have been rejected both by festivals and the public.
Coppola's presentation was rich with explanations, mostly about the way the 1979 version had been edited, about the richness of the footage that had been shelved, the genesis of the new version, various technical aspects, plus anecdotes about his actors, especially Marlon Brando.
What Coppola, or no one else on this planet could foresee, is that the release of "Redux" would coincide tragically with the Apocalypse of the World Trade Center.

Coppola's musical choices were equally sage; aged Italian scoring legend Nino Rota's mournful solo trumpet theme ("Godfather Waltz") would become both a crucial, emotional link in all three films and an enduring modern icon on a par with the themes to Star Wars and Jaws.
Carmine Coppola, the director's father, supplements Rota's work with music that's more distinctly ethnic, while the prelude from Italian classical composer Pietro Mascagani's masterful opera Cavalleria Rusticana becomes a crucial element in Godfather III, filling the void left by Rota's passing in 1979.--Jerry McCulley
Must note, that the scores are so apt, so pertinent, so evocative, so germane that it is impossible to separate it out from the indelible fabric of a film or continuing film saga.
