Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2015)

I saw this movie a couple of times right now, and i could watch it a few more without getting bored. Why? Let me explain you. Apocalypse now and Goodfellas are two movie I consider flawless. They are two movie that are closest to perfection. I cant say which aspect of this movie i think is the best, because they are all just great. The cinematography is the best I've seen in a movie so far. When you see the beautiful scenes of war or just jungle and river in Vietnam, you will know why. The fact its been shooted on Philiphines probably helps, but Coppola is the one that made it so great. The actors: unforgettable Marlon Brando as a disturbed commander Kurtz or cinema legend Martin sheen, acting is at the same level as other aspects of the film. The script is amazing too, as well as sound and colors. But the best is what this movie has to say. Just like Coppola said:"this movie isn't about Vietnam, it is Vietnam". This is not a movie about war, if you see it as a movie about war, you should see it again because you just didn't get it. Its about people and human nature, its about madness. The book movie is based on- The Heart of Darkness- is set in Africa and river Congo, and I think that Vietnam is a much better setting. Also I think that Kurtz character is much better in movie then it is in book. If you consider yourself a movie fan, you should not miss this Coppola masterpiece.
