Apocalypse Now (1979)

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2012)

Apocalypse Now is an amazing film. The cinematography is fantastic. Francis Ford Coppola does a marvelous job with the lighting and shadows. I think this film is a great way to show people a glimpse of what the Vietnam veterans had to deal with when we were at war. This film was very deep and meaningful, but they story line the film was based around isn't very believable. The fact that a soldier had to go and eliminate a rouge commander, that was actually helping win the war, is just not that believable. Over all I thought it was a great film. I give this film more of a 9.5 than a 10, because I really liked watching it, but it was a very intense film.
