Let me tell you about apocalypse now

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2015)

I first saw this movie 10 years ago when I was 8 years old. When I saw it, I liked it and was disappointed. I was disappointed because it was slow, it was boring and the action scenes were long enough. I decided to go back and watch this movie as a matured adult and decided to give it the fair rating it deserves.
Apocalypse Now is a deep and disturbing look into the horrors of war but most importantly the psychological effects it has on people. The direction Coppola took with this movie is mind blowing. The colors really sets the mood for whatever is on the screen. This people is perfect cinematography. Coppola knows what the hell he is doing. The sound in this movie is absolutely perfect. They have the tracks for the typical Vietnam era but this eerie soundtrack follows it around the whole movie. If you don't like slow-building, psychologically films this is not the film for you. The performances in this movie are top-notch. No one in this movie does a bad job. Apocalypse now is considered the best film of all time in new Hollywood and it should be. As an 18 year old compared to my 8 year old self, I was absolutely blown away. This film holds up to the day and is a must watch for an intelligent film enthusiast.
