Apocalypse Now

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2014)

Watching Apocalypse Now by Francis Ford Coppola was a thought-provoking experience. The movie's plot is simple: During the Vietnam War, Captain Benjamin Willard is sent to go after Colonel Kurtz, who left the war and established his own civilization. I'm going to leave it there and not give any more details.
When I first watched this movie, I was amazed buy Vittorio Storaro's(The Cinematographer) use of the camera and colors. In 2001, when Coppola presented Apocalypse Now Redux(an extended version of the film) at the Cannes Film Festival, he said, "This film is not about the Vietnam War, It is Vietnam!". I agree, I felt like I was there with Martin Sheen and experiencing what he was.
I have to say that Robert Duvall's and Marlon Brando's Performances in the film as Kilgore and Kurtz were the best roles of their careers!
WATCH THIS MOVIE!
