a brilliant tale of a US army captain being sent to kill a legendary Green Berret colonel.

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2005)

Francis Ford Coppolla is a genius,a brilliant mind that should never stop working on movies like this.This is an absolute blinder of a film.Just yesterday i was looking for some good movies to watch until i rediscovered one of the best ever made...Apocalypse Now.It is the most gut-wrenching movie that i have seen.It is a very disturbing piece of ART.
The story of a Captain who was secretly assigned to a mission to assassinate a legendary Green Berret colonel Walter E. Kurtz who has gone insane due to the horrors of the war and set himself up as God among a local tribe.This movie truly explains the horrors of war at it's worst.IF anyone out there is looking for a mind-blowing war film,see Apocalypse Now first....then move on to Saving Private Ryan,Platoon etc.
As for the acting,it was magnificent.Martin Sheen (Willard) gave an absolute gem of a performance.As for Marlon Brando(Kurtz),what can be said of him.....he is flawless.Though he played a small role,it was highly important and brilliant.
All in all....if u miss this movie,u missed something exceptional.
