Carl,
In the history of film making, when has a film been shot in 2.35 anamorphic and window-boxed to 1.85 for an intended theatrical aspect ratio?
In fact, it doesn't make sense. Nearly every movie shot for 1.85 projection has been shot flat and matted down. Further more, films that are usually presented open-matted at 1.90 to 2.00 on video were usually shot in Super 35 or similar technique, not anamorphic.
APOCALYPSE NOW was shot in anamorphic 2.35:1 (approx.), that is what the film makers intended.
The alterations made for video weren't made out of artistic intentions, just someones love for resolution over cinematography.
