Review of Apocalypse Now (1979) by Colby B — 29 Apr 2016
A masterpiece above all others. A brilliant psychedelic reinvention of an already top-notch book, this is inspired filmmaking at its best. This film shows war for the chaos that it really is. And every actor reflects this.
Martin Sheen is a very strong actor and it's a shame he didn't get a Best Actor nomination at the OSCARs. Robert Duvall is also just amazing. A larger than life nutjob, probably even crazier than Colonel Kurtz.
And Marlon Brando gives one of history's all-time great performances as Kurtz. One of the greatest films of all time. Period.
