Apocalypse Now
“The Horror...”
Sometimes humans like to pretend themselves to be God, even though in reality they are a figure who likes to mislead many people.
This film tells the story of a Vietnam War soldier named Willard who is assigned on a secret mission to assassinate a mysterious former soldier whose trace has long been lost. The soldier is named Walter E. Kurtz. The soldier claims himself to be a god, therefore he is considered a madman. Willard then goes on his mission with his small group of soldiers on a boat down the river in Vietnam to Cambodia.
This film is an unparalleled masterpiece. It boasts stunningly beautiful cinematography, impressive sound editing, mind-boggling war scenes, and a thrilling story. The director's direction was also quite brilliant. This isn't your typical war film, but it encompasses profound and philosophical themes. The film is slow-paced, yet it captivates the audience with its sumptuous visuals.
Thank you, Francis Ford Coppola. You have created a masterpiece unmatched by any other war film.
Peak cinema, no question about it
