I watched Jacob's Ladder again tonight.
Those deleted scenes are part of a film akin to Apocalypse Now Redux. Jacob's Ladder Redux, if you will.
A fascinating but different film.
Apocalypse Now as originally released shows the insight and intuition of editor Walter Mirsch.
In the cutting room, Mirsch stumbled upon some rushes he was told not to look at. "They'll fuck your brain, man, and you won't be able to cut the film."
Some were of Harvey Keitel as Willard.
Others were of Martin Sheen smiling.
Jacob's Ladder - a great movie.
Jacob's Ladder Redux - an intriguing but different experience.
