In the top 5 war movies ever.

Rating: 9/10 (23 August 2004)

The acting is sensational, especially Sheen, and I love the voice over. The use of The Doors music adds an atmosphere that runs hand in hand with the movie: "The End". Maybe that is the theme of the movie, the end. The end of what? I think innocence, especially America's innocence after Vietnam. This movie is especially provocative when watched in today's political climate (Iraq/our soldiers). Definitely a classic movie, I give it a 9.15/10 FF Coppola is a master filmmaker. L Fishburne, R Duvall, and in particular Marlon Brando give memorable performances, and the cinematography is second to none, not to mention the editing of the film.
