jeeap While a war is simple: you kill and get killed. There's no need to justify wars or say they are something that could be avoided. They happen all the time because they are part of human's nature. Try to prove otherwise by looking at history )) Or by reading news.And let's be honest one more time: we're talking about movie selling business, so any idea will work well if it's sold. Blood, sex and f-bombs are all good for the audience sitting in cosy chairs and chewing popcorn.

dworldeater Apocalypse Now is Francis Ford Coppola's epic masterpiece that explores the dark side of humanity with the Vietnam war as a backdrop. The film is very unique and very well done. While there is much to take in on a visceral level, this is a very psychological film. Apocalypse Now is Hell on Earth that reflects the dark side of American culture and takes the characters from the Heart Of Darkness novel and places them in a Vietnam war setting. The acting, cinematography and score are all top notch. I guess this originally was supposed to be directed by George Lucas, but fell into the hands of Francis Ford Coppola and I would not change a thing. John Milius wrote the screenplay to this and along with Coppola, he is one of the best filmakers in Hollywood. Apocalypse Now is a humid and gritty tropical nightmare that is deeply engrossing and disturbing. There is no other film that I have seen that is quite like it and as such is a masterpiece and one of my all time favorite movies.

somebodyyy Being in my twenties and never seen this movie, I decided it was time to do so since its high rating on IMDB. The pace starts good and soon the squad is on its way to take out a rogue soldier. They team up with another group that needs to help them out on the river. They do so and their journey continues. What follows are unnecessary scenes and slow pacing. Most shocking was that they arrive at some base with a huge show. At that moment I was thinking: What the heck was all that stuff about travelling with their boat and that big fight in that village when they could just have flown to that military base with the show??? Afterwards they came in some half deserted base where to those Miss july's etc. are holed up. What are such national celebrities doing in run down base that do not even have normal tents? More funny was that they apparently offer intercourse for oil. Like what? I guess I try that next time I go out as well.So far I did not continue with the movie yet but I do plan to do so. But people calling this the greatest movie is just nostalgia speaking (pink tainted goggles on their eyes while watching this average war movie) Some others talk about the horrors of war this movie shows. Yeah rights, the horrors of some cowboy walking untouched through explosions while talking about how much he wants to surf.Really guys this movie is average at best.

philipposx-12290 There is no denying. Apocalypse Now is one of the finest, most disturbing, unsettling yet unreleningly gripping and beautiful films of all time.
