Apocalypse Now

| watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream; that's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor... and surviving. It’s sort of strange, I’ve read an entire book about the themes and metaphors of this film, as well as many hours of bts and documentaries. But I don’t have much to say. The whole time I watched the film, one word came to my mind: Feast. And what a feast this film truly is. Everything you could ever want and more. Some of the most beautiful shots ever captured, some of the best dialogue ever written, some of the greatest acting ever performed, and one of the greatest screenplays ever committed to film.  Maybe the next time I watch this masterpiece I’ll have more thoughtful things to say, but for now, all I can say is: what a feast.
