The director's cut version is worthy of being the best Vietnam War film, and it can actually increase the depth of the war film's connotation to the meaning of religious theology. The heart is shocked so much that after watching it, the whole person is blurred. The red warm color is very poetic. It also satirizes the end of the war, the third act full of religious rituals directly sublimated the whole movie. Brando has not many scenes but is very bright, as if looking at the war from the perspective of God and re-defining this war!
