Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2016)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Apocalypse Now" (1979) is to simply put - a true movie masterpiece. There isn't anything new that can say in a praise for this movie. This is one of a few best war movies ever made, and this is simply one of the top 5 movies ever made.
I don'e even know where should i start to praise this movie. This movie is probably one of the cases where you not only "love it" or "hate it" - "Apocalypse Now" won't leave anyone, and by anyone i mean casual or true movie buff in some way "unmoved" - it has everything (well maybe except for a love story- but save that for a "Director's Cut").
"Apocalypse Now" is in some sort a "road movie". It is also a "war movie". It is also a "finding yourself" or even "coming of age story". It is about finding a true horror in surrounding of nature, and how this horror becomes part of you. But no matter the way in which you will see this masterpiece - one thing is clear - it is simply one of the best movies ever made.
Overall, i saw the original cut like 3 or 4 times, and 2 times "Director's Cut". For all rookies of "Apocalypse Now" I would recommend the original cut first, and after this masterpiece will become a part of your mind, then you can see "Director's Cut" - it is a deeper road into a rabbit hole.
