Review of Apocalypse Now (1979) by Derek D — 26 Aug 2012
A very disturbing film about a very disturbing war in U.S. history, Martin Sheen is sent to kill Marlon Brando and the more he reads about Col. Kurtz, the less he is for sure he really wants to do it. The original cut of the film was far superior to the redux done years later, as the extra 40+ minutes don't add much to the movie.
Most people will just remember Duvall's "I love the smell of napalm in the morning..." speech but this film is far much more than that. It's one of the best and more important films in American cinema history.
