Great...in a weird way

Rating: 9/10 (10 August 2007)

Apocalypse Now, perfect example of "War is hell", you'll know what i mean when you see it. I think it's a great idea, a story of a young soldier traveling with a boat through 'Nam, looking for some veteran. Francis Ford Coppola does great movies, but i have to say this movie was very weird, OK i admit it, i was very tired when i watched it, it was finished at 2:am so i guess i wasn't paying full attention to the movie. But some things catch my mind, as i wrote before, this movie really shows the words "War is hell". Not to many battle scenes in this one either (wich usually gets boring after 3 mins or so..), instead it shows how the soldiers lived and behaved under the Vietnam war. How they got mad and did everything to survive, the real hate against the Vietcong. Martin Sheen is great in this one.
I noticed one thing though, A young Harrison Ford appears. And Coppola and George Lucas was arguing about something, i don't know, but anyway: In the very short scene where Harrison Ford is in, you can see small letters on his name tag pronouncing: G.Lucas Just a funny easter egg....
A little resumé of the movie: Great, A bit weird 8/10
