An amazingly photographed and directed film

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2013)

Apocalypse Now is one of the best war movies I have ever seen. It depicts special operations veteran Ben Willard on a secret mission to Cambodia to kill a colonel Kurtz who is said to have gone insane. This movie is not for the squeamish. There are many civilians in Cambodia that are shot and killed and the movie shows how war corrupts morality and human decency. Willards journey as he travels through Cambodia is surreal and hellish and brought to life with great directing. It shows how war can create mass confusion on both sides. Francis Ford Coppola has once again proved that he can direct a compelling story,just like he did in The Godfather movies, and in The Conversation.
