A Masterpiece of a movie!! My favorite movie of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2019)

I can watch this movie over and over again and not get bored! This movie in my opinion Coppola's best among all other works including the Godfather' series. If you are a deep thinking person, this movie is going to hit you so hard. However, I would recommend reading the movie's based novel - "Heart of Darkness" - first before watching it. This movie is so deep and black in that it isn't a true war movie; it is anti-war and it shows you how dark and heinous a human can be in the state of war. The movie wants you to realize that war is more than just arms battle between people; war is about unleashing the true nature of human beings and that nature is brutish. So, it's more of a psychological and mental experience in watching Apocalypse Now.
I was also amazed by the performances of all the cast especially Robert Duvall. He was amazing in portraying that careless, dead-hearted Colonel despite having only less than 10 minutes of screen time. He deserved the Oscar so Badly!
However, I caution you that this movie is very underrated in that you either like it so much or hate it so much. There is no middle ground! It's a slow, mystic, deep movie that wants you to react deeply. So, if you are going to watch it for the first time, be prepared to get psychologically and mentally disturbed!
