an audiovisual masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2004)

i dont love this film 4 being a great war ( or antiwar- ) movie but for the music, the scenes, the colours, the camera. its just a great psychedelic trip thruout vietnam war with one entertaining scene after the other...the final where willard gets on his way 2 kill kurtz is one of my favourites.
dont really expect a good war movie here as the whole scenario is totally exaggerated and the philosophical message of kurtz' madness not really understandable.
just lay back and enjoy this picture as a fantastic piece of movie-art and -handcraft!
btw i advise u to watch the tv-version and NOT the redux as the extra scenes dont really add 2 the film entertainment-wise and the old colours and sounds are just pure and really really good, even without digital mastering ( in the german version adding a TERRIBLE new synchronisation, of course ^^ ).

this film doesnt look or feel like a 70s movie at all, cause its made so well!
