Outstanding and psychological at the same time 8\10

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2020)

So obviously this is not a simple vietnam war movie, unlike "Born On The Forth Of July" that tells an emotional story and a story of humanity. "Apocalypse Now" is a story of how a man becomes a psycho and a madman. there is chaos everywhere and it really seems like it's the end of the world, I know that when I saw the film there were moments I couldn't believe actually happend in real life and you really get this sort of feeling that it's the end, just like the song of "The Doors". the actors were absolutely fantastic: Martin Sheen is great and delivers a good performance. his character is a perfect example to what a anti - hero is. I mean he does have a lot of features that show he isn't a hero like rambo or he is not a soldier that will save innocent people. Martin Sheen's character is the type of tragic and anti hero who cares of nothing. Robert Duvall is perfect in his role with his famous catchy line "I love the smell of napalm in the morning". Marlon brando should have recieved an academy award for his portrayal as colonel kurtz, or at least a nomination, I just wished we got to see more of colonel kurtz early in the movie maybe flashbacks of him. the whole editing part was fantastic, I loved the technique of "disolve" during the film and the whole art direction how every detail is well made. the main idea of the film is important as everything else, clearly this is a movie of how a man becomes insane and how the nature makes a man go wild, it's like a string that pulls you into the jungle till you become a madman. and that is what coppola does best with the film, outstanding!
