At the height of the Vietnam war, Captain Benjamin Willard is sent on a dangerous mission that, officially, "does not exist, nor will it ever exist." His goal is to locate - and eliminate - a mysterious Green Beret Colonel named Walter Kurtz, who has been leading his personal army on illegal guerrilla missions into enemy territory.

I love the smell of marlon brando inventing acting through three seconds of screen time and literally obliterating every other actor ever in the morning. also, napalm
The rain patters deliberately. It's trying. It's trying real hard to cool off the world, but to no avail. The endless sweat parading down the faces of the losing minds and the tired souls only enhances the fever dreams and the sights of the figures within the shadows. The greatest cinematographic achievement of all time.
wow sofia coppola’s dad is actually pretty good at the whole making movies thing i guess he takes after his daughter <3
“Someday this war’s gonna end.”
Chills. When that serene green landscape with those beautiful palm trees and the curling yellow fumes bursts into flame, when the beat drops and that voice begins to sing this is the end, I felt chills run up and down my spine. This was going to be something great. I could feel it in my bones.
What do you get when you give a brilliant, hubristic mind the freedom to make whatever the fuck he likes, however he likes? What do you get after two of the most beautiful films ever made, two films that managed to marry art and commercial success in a way that so few had managed to achieve on such a…
"Someday this war's gonna end."
It didn't, and the American psyche never recovered.
Still just one of the all-timer, completely mesmerizing hybrids of two opposing, contradictory maverick movie minds the likes of which we will never see again. The first half of this equation is the macho fascist pretensions of screenwriter John Milius who has a nihilistic and fetishistic (arguably evil and racist) fascination with brute power, military combat and the violent primordial savagery of man, which he has used as an entry point into reworking Joseph Conrad’s futile colonialist descent into barbarism Heart of Darkness and T.S. Elliot’s spiritually haunting otherworldly poem The Hollow Men into an elemental Vietnam war nightmare-odyssey—and given an essential assist by Vietnam war correspondent Michael…
"we train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene."

"What are they going to say about him? What? Are they going to say he was a kind man? He was a wise man? He had plans? He had wisdom? Bullshit, man!"
Helicopter blades and bad dreams: a saga of mercy. Coppola redefines Hell as a reprieve from the jungle, for the demons couldn't possibly be as fierce or as countless as they are here, each in many forms. Probably the only movie that could attain the power of raising the dead. It moves upriver to a place sight and sound unseen. A total heart of darkness.
This an example of film making at its finest. Honestly, I don't know a whole lot about the infamous production of Apocalypse Now, other than the fact that it was awful; and yet, the way the film is crafted and put together is so incredible. The troubled production probably increased the hysteria and darkness that the film conveys as it journeys into the dark hearts of men and their desires.
The film has a simple premise, US Army Captain Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen) is ordered on a covert mission into Cambodia to assassinate a Green Beret, Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), who has gone insane and set himself up as a god among the local native tribe. It's an accessible premise,…
