Simply Insanity

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2009)

In this movie, it demonstrates real insanity. I have never came across a film that portrayed such insanity. A movie with a great cast and a great story behind it. Starting off with Martin Sheen as a Special Force Captain who finally gets the mission he has been waiting for. A mission that involves killing an insane and deranged Colonel (Marlon Brando). With a great secondary cast which contains great modern day actors including Robert Duvall, Laurence Fishburne, Harrison Ford, Dennis Hopper, and Frederic Forrest. Each actor in this movie shows outstanding talent, I was simply awed by the performance in this. Mainly what this movie portrays is the insanity war can make you experience. This film captures this in the best way possible, each character shows this in a different way, some of the minor characters such as the playboy models even show how insanity effects them. But the effects used in the film and the music in the background play a an important role in creating a certain tone for the movie, in which Jim Morrison does an amazing job at. The Doors song, The End, showed insanity and brutal mentality in it which played great in the film. Even as an opening song saying The End was a very clever and very entertaining aspect of the video. Overall this movie gives you an experience that no other video will ever give you, and experience that will take your breath away and will leave you thinking for weeks as I have been.
