Filmmaking as it's finest.

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2013)

This film is one of the few ones that i've watched which really left me completely speechless. WoW. That's an incomparable film experience. Just...wow.
I want to start talking about the french cinema in it. Mr. Coppola put in 'Apocalypse now!' a lot of french cinema 'references', most specifically in the famous 'French New Wave' style. It's possible to see the influence of the french film movement in Apocalypse Now!. For example, the narrative , which follows a very non-linear 'conflict' construction. You can see in various moments, specially in the Redux version, that the story is not going ahead. In fact, the only and crucial difference between a 'French New Wave' film and "Apocalypse Now!" Is that the latter has a definite premise, unlike the vastly majority of Novelle VaguÃ¨ films.
Now, talking about the film: The story itself is just fantastic. The perturbation of the men when he faces the horror is arguably the most explored subject in the film,and Sheen did a very good job portraying this kind of men. But for me, the most interesting thing in the film is that we have the protagonist, a war veteran, just watching the totally unexperienced guys becoming crazy due to the bizarre atmosphere and situations of the war. Another spectacular aspect in this film(which can't be forgotten in any means) is the cinematography. It plays a very huge part in the film. I could describe it how great and insane it looks,but no words could really explain nothing about it. It need to be seen to be believed,trust me. Apocalypse Now! is one of the most genial works in the cinema history. 10/10
