Review of Apocalypse Now (1979) by Ducknation — 24 May 2014
Ask any moviebuff to list their their top movies and you’ll generally hear Apocalypse Now on it. This film is nothing but top talent stars Marlon Brando,.
Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall,Harrison Ford, Laurence Fishburne. Francis Ford Coppola directs another masterpiece Apocalypse Now is one of the best war movies of all time.
The brutalness that Apocalypse Now portrays made me and many others love this film. Its how how war can make people go insane how being in a jungle for months to years can do to a man's psyche.
As soon as Martin Sheen (Captain Benjamin L. Willard gets on the boat this movie takes off. The epic story is just executed flawlessly. Everything flows really well and the story never loses your atention. Robert Duvall’s character Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore is fantastic.
The way this movie is written is brilliant. It has maybe one of the most Quoted lines in film history with “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.” I really enjoy the way this movie portrayed true war. It wasn't candy coated for the viewers it was brutally honest and that's what sets it apart from it's genre.
Overall I give it a 10 and if anyone is yet to watch it yet id recommend watching the extended cut or should I say Apocalypse Now Redux it adds 49 minutes of extra footage that was not in the original film.
