Apocalypse Now
"I've seen horrors. Horrors that you have seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer, you have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that. But you have no right to judge me."
one of my favorite tropes in any form of media is characters who push the narrative of a story without even being physically present. colonel walter kurtz gets essentially about 30 minutes of screen time and within this timespan he ranks very high among this trope of characters i love. the sheer presence he possesses the moment he is first seen on screen is so captivating and terrifying i was actually stunned. the coloring in this is also pretty damn good and the sound design was actually phenomenal especially for a film of this time. this is really an all timer.
