cinematic genius the very best

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2006)

briefly......... i love this film. i feel that this is without a doubt the best film ever to grace cinema screens.
i love it for its hidden meanings and the entire way the director leaves the viewer thinking about the different themes and meanings for days afterwards. however to be truly appreciated i feel that it has to be understood fully. although the general plot is easy to follow the truly epic end in the kurtz compound deserves praise for being cleverly written for instance, kurtz being killed out of respect rather than malice by Willard. finally i like many films such as pulp fiction an goodfellas for their style and brutality. what i feel sets apocalypse now from these is that it is very well crafted and i appreciated the truly epic scenery and high budget war scenes. apocalypse now simply is not for everyone however if you can appreciate the brilliant cinematography i think you will agree it is one of the finest films in existence and in my opinion the finest.
