My number 128 movie ( contains story + spoilers )

Rating: 8/10 (9 February 2001)

Apocalypse Now is my number 128 movie. I usually like movies about wars, and this one made no exception. It is about a guy ( Martin Sheen ) who goes to Vietnam to search for a guy ( Marlon Brando )that exercises control in a province in Vietnam ( the special thing is that he´s American ).
When I watched this film, I thought it was more a movie like the last 60 minutes of Full Metal Jacket" . But it was not. There were also some war-sequences, but it concentrates on Martin Sheen searching with a group of soldiers for the guy. And I thought that he finds him way earlier, not 20 minutes before the film ended. I think it was a good war-movie with a lot of inner suspense. And that was the great thing about this movie.

Apocalypse Now is not a film about Vietnam as ´Platoon´ or ´Full Metal Jacket´ are. It just concentrates on the search, and not the war itself. That was a good idea.
I was very lucky to see Harrison Ford in this movie, because I just love him. He is my favorite actor of all time.
I think that Apocalypse Now is not one of the greatest movies of all time, but it is good. I rated it 8/10 and recommend it to fans of war movies, that do not want to see bullets all the time. Warmly recommended!
