A masterpiece of epic proportions

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2017)

In short, Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" is one of the few movies ever made that can truly be called a masterpiece. Fantastic acting, and unmatched direction both go into making this film a cinema classic. "Apocalypse Now" is considered to be of the war movie genre, however after watching " Hearts of Darkness" you can see the story is more about finding ones true self amidst the backdrop of a crazy war. This film is perhaps the finest work of direction and cinematography ever created. Unlike most movies made in the 70s it still holds up today. In closing this movie is an unmatched accomplishment that will inspire awe in viewers for many years to follow.
