My favorite movie of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2015)

This movie is my favorite of all time. It's not just a war movie. It just has so much to say and so much to offer of its content that every second of the movie is as intense as the rest of the three hours. Not only does it offer a great screenplay, the representation of the screenplay is flawless. Martin Sheen's character is well- developed. Even young actors who were still launching their careers, like Laurence Fishburne, did great performances. Marlon Brando's screen time is the only thing that bothers me about the whole movie, but it's just because I wanted to see more Marlon Brando in it. But the decision to keep Marlon Brando's screen time restricted to the movie's penultimate is completely understood considering how they wanted the story to end. This movie is the next in list to show Francis Coppola's directing capabilities after The Godfather. Thanks to his directing, every performance, major or minor, was spectacular. There are already close to a thousand reviews to the movie pointing out its great aspects, but I still wanted to leave a review of why enjoy this movie. I would agree on how the scenes added in the re-release weren't necessary. The overall experience of that movie is just mind-blowing.
