It has it all - war, drama, violence, humer...

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 1999)

This film is one of my 3 all time greatests. (Coming along with "Braeking the Waves and "Wings Of Desire"). Apocalypse now is an outstanding piece of art. This movie left me so shocked, I could'nt stop thinking about it for like 2 weeks after I saw it. Fantastic director - Coppola had to work for almost three years to end this epic story about a few american soldiers that are sent to destroy their own general Kurtz. The group is led by Captain Wilard who is performed wonderfully by Martin Sheen. This movie is like so much different than everything else i've ever seen. It deals with the crazyness of the war in vietnam, and the sanity of the american army. The movie is directed in an outstanding way by coppola, and is acted brightly by all the leading cast. The photography is just unbelievable by Vittorio Starraro. And like Coppola once said: "This film is not about Vietnam - it is Vietnam".I say this film is not about being great - It is great!!!
