Movie Reviews of 1941 (Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: DIrectors cut not as good as original version.
Summary: 1 Stars
I personally think the original version is better. I saw the movie when I was young and was very upset with the new footage. I my opinion there was a reason the movie was cut. It was too much and the characters were rightly shown in the theatrical version. This is a great movie with an impressive all-star cast. The characters were strong enough to stand alone without any stephen king style over explanation. If anyone knows if the original exists then please let me know.
Summary of 1941 (Collector's Edition)
Contains: restored footage not included in original theatrical release and original documentary on the making of 1941 steven spielbergs home movies and behind-the-scenes footage theatrical trailers outtakes and storyboards and production notes. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/01/2006 Starring: Dan Aykroyd John Belushi Run time: 148 minutes Rating: NrWatching this director's cut, it's finally possible to see why the studio made Spielberg mercilessly hack up this comedy: it's a screaming movie (everyone screams a lot), and screaming movies do not need character development. So all those character-development scenes hit the cutting-room floor and, surprise, they were all critical to Spielberg's pace for the humor in this film. The screaming wasn't that funny then--and it still isn't--but what is funny are the reinserted development scenes, showcasing the now-evident sense of hysteria in the Los Angeles community, post-Pearl Harbor. A bunch of certified nitwits, and a few certified lunatics, act as if Tojo Hideki's entire Imperial force is just off the mainland. Actually, one Japanese submarine is, and it helps fuel the frenzy. John Belushi is Wild Bill Kelso, an insane fighter pilot, and Dan Aykroyd plays a conciliatory tank commander. Robert Stack's performance as General Stilwell, one of the best of the film, finally makes sense. Also fun for the numerous cameos, Spielberg's inside jokes, and John Williams's great score. --Keith Simanton
