I actually really liked those scenes, thought they gave a bit of a break from the hellscape of the rest of the movie and provided a bit of context. I first saw Redux as a dumb 18 year old and thought all Communists were the same, so learning that the Vietcong and Chinese despised each other and the only thing Vietnam wanted was reunification and to be left alone was pretty cool.I must admit I found the whole French plantation scene dragged a bit. I prefer the original.
Also.... don't you mean Full Metal Jacket?
