Review of Apocalypse Now (1979) by Thetrotsky — 08 Nov 2015
The movie, with or without the redux, is brilliant. It starts off with a very real perception of PTSD and progresses into showing the madness of war and what it does to the mind. Martin Sheen along with the rest of the crew do an outstanding job of portraying these characters.
I believe the best part is towards the end with Marlon Brando. He does a great job of showing the mind of a man who is otherwise broken but can see some truths to our society. I thought the part with the hollow men and the books that they reference were a nice touch and conveys the point well.
The only problem with this movie is that it feels a bit dragged out at some parts especially with the french dinner scene.
