The most realistic, captivating war movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2004)

"Apocalypse Now" is the most realistic, captivating war movie ever made. I own the "redux" version and while running at 200 minutes, it captivating me the
WHOLE time. The story of a war-torn soldier Willard (Martin Sheen) on a
mission to capture corrupt Kurtz (Brando) who is in Cambodia dictating a village of Koreans. The harrowing war sequences are brilliantly shot by Francis Ford Coppola, who took 2+ years to shoot this movie. See this movie and after you see it rent "Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse", which chronicles
the struggles it took to make this movie. That documentary will only make you appreciate this masterful work of art more.
