A MASTERPIECE OF GENIUS

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2001)

Only a handful of films can approach this masterpiece. This is way beyond anything we normally encounter in our movie world.
The genius required to bring this vision to the screen confounds me. No matter how long I lived I would never be able to create such art. That is the test of the film. Could you envision it?
Yes, yes there are much more accurate films about war and some are excellent, but that's not the point. This film is real in the mind of Francis Ford Coppola and it his creative vision.
The film is more real than any documentary because it captures everthing we love and hate and know and wondered about the characters of the War. You'll feel more in 3 hours than years reading about it. You may not learn anything but you will be convinced you were there.
No matter how insane Coppola gets we keep following him, just like Sheen following Kurtz. He takes all to THE END.
