A MASTERPIECE!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2001)

We are talking here about a work of art,the greatest movie ever made!Coppola is a hell of a director and this movie proves it.The scenery is outstanding and the slow pace of the movie reveals the paranoia of war.I saw it some months ago and when it ended (the horror...the horror...) i was speechless.Like i've seen a ghost or something.I like anti-war movies but i had never seen something like that before.The acting is remarkable by Martin Sheen,Dennis Hopper and especially Robert Duvall(who can forget the napalm speech?).But there is always Marlon Brando,this unique actor who sends this movie to the space of ubeliavable.The 5-minutes "Horror" monologue still haunts me. I think that this is a life work for Coppola.The end of his beginning.I cannot even imagine that some people compare it with platoon(a higly over-rated,below average film). It's eather ways. Or you're going to love it,or you're going to hate it. For the lasts Sgt. Kilgore i leave it to you "Charlie Don't Surf!!!!"
