near cinematic perfection

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2003)

i give this a 9 out of 10. the only negative comment i can say about this movie is that i felt kurtz was a bit too "dramatic" and "literate" at the end. if i were doing this movie i would have made him more savagelike. forget about his little desk with the bible and poetry. we should have seen a kurtz who beheaded kurtz' boatmate! a kurtz who was having orgies with the cambodian natives. i dont mean for coppola to have turned on the sex and gore at the end, just give us a kurtz who was a little less "shakespeare" and a little more "rambo".
