William L. @RT70826415 May 11 If you want a war film that makes you feel like you’re actually in it… this is the one! Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, this epic about the Vietnam War is truly an experience that you’ll never forget. Amazing Cinematography, Excellent battle scenes, and the feeling of an LSD trip is what you’ll get when watching this. Amazing performances from Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper. If there was a war film that depicted the brutality of war and how it could affect a soul… this is it. Highly Recommended! See more Romas M @Romas May 6 Greetings from Lithuania. "Apocalypse Now" (1979) is to simply put - a true movie masterpiece. There isn't anything new that can be said in a praise for this movie. This is one of a few best war movies ever made, and this is simply one of the top 5 movies ever made. I don't even know where should i start to praise this movie. This movie is probably one of the cases where you not only "love it" or "hate it" - "Apocalypse Now" won't leave anyone, and by anyone i mean casual or true movie buff in some way "unmoved" - it has everything (well maybe except for a love story). Overall, i saw the original cut like 3 or 4 times, and 2 times "Director's Cut". For all rookies of "Apocalypse Now" I would recommend the original cut first, and after this masterpiece will become a part of your mind, then you can see "Director's Cut" - it is a deeper road into a rabbit hole. After seeing it on 4K UHD disk "Final Cut" I can only urge to rewatch it - this is the definitive edition of a great movie. See more Renato M @Kutusov May 2 What can I say... best movie ever made. Watch the Redux version if you can, its the best version. See more Kevin P @RT55971421 Apr 12 One of the most famous and influential war movies ever, let alone Vietnam movies. It's a unique adaptation of the classic novel "Heart of Darkness", that changes the Congo setting to the Vietnam War. The film is excellently directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The cinematography is fantastic. The movie has an awesome cast. Marlon Brando gives an insane performance as the fat bald Colonel Kurtz living in exile as a painted face cult leader. The movie has amazing landscape cinematography, with striking imagery. The movie questions what separates Kilgore from Kurtz with insanity and murder. The deeper they travel up the river, the crazier the soldiers get in the war zone. It's a very intense climax when they finally reach Colonel Kurtz's dystopian cult temple shrine hideout and the captain has to confront Colonel Kurtz in darkness. The film is a fascinating character study and cautionary tale about how the normal human mind can become corrupted and drained of its humanity during wartime.

It’s like a hallucinogenic trip you didn’t ask for that will haunt you for a little while.
