Insanely Heavy Reenactment of Dystopian War; Sheen Shining

Rating: 7/10 (22 March 2017)

A cinematic reenactment of perpetuating the dystopian war; and "insanely heavy" is the first term that comes to my mind.
Like a narcotic, the film floats through rugged memories and improbable realities about a rouge General (Marlon Brando). Whereas, a Captain (Martin Sheen) sent to assassinate him with "extreme prejudices", struggles with his own and his men.
As I complete this 3.5 hour long film, I am a bit amazed by the art of creating such a prolonged, unrecognisable narrative of a war. At the same time, the imagery of gory Vietnam War is difficult to digest and so is watching the ferocious men, living the shell-shock amongst the war atrocities and the farce of making it. Nevertheless, anyone who is a junkie for war-genre and/or a fan of the likes of Brando and Coppola, won't be able to hold back watching it.
Cringeworthy viewing experience. Rating - 7.5/10
