Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Thanks for the memories!
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
This is one of my favourite films. Long but you barely notice how much time has passed since the story is so easy to fall into. It's an almost dreamlike film, dealing with the Vietnam war. The opening scene itself is enough to draw you in, with the soundtrack by The Doors and the juxtaposition between the rising helicopters the steady turning of the blades of a fan in a hotel room. The colours really highlight moods and themes. Great film, I could go on all day about it.
During the Vietnam War, Captain Willard is sent on a dangerous mission into Cambodia to assassinate a renegade Colonel who has set himself up as a god among a local tribe. Apocalypse Now is for sure a really beautiful film and very well made in general plus Robert Duvall gives one of his best perfomances and the entire cast is pretty good in general but where the film kinda disappointed me at least the Redux version did was with the story that was kinda slow and at times even hard to follow, some of the character's motivations were also a bit muddled like Brandon's for instance plus the scenes with the 2 women and the french weren't even needed. Overall an overrated and decent drama. (7/10)
Coppola represented the harrowing experience of Vietnam War through the story or rather the movie's theme itself. The classy yet intense editing, the beautiful yet upsetting cinematography, and the fluid yet disturbing camera movements and shots, all have a major role in conveying the message of the movie. The violence could have been more powerful and gritty, but that's not what Coppola wanted, he wanted to show the horror of war by depicting it as an annoying and irritating experience. Unfortunately, the movie could have been way better. There are many sub-plots that could have been used in a way that adds to the main plot by emphasizes on the moral dilemma of the movie. That's exactly what made the ending falls flat, at least for me. Instead of being one of the greatest endings ever, I found it kinda cheesy!(8/10)
No other movie captures the cataclysmic mammoth destruction the unmitigated grotesque annihilation chaos and mayhem atrocity the savage barbaric and mammoth disproportionately spectacular explosive totally bloody violent gruesome unparalleled nasty volcanically unstable catastrophic destruction and devastation and desolation of war
