Apocalypse Now

Simply put, this film is one, if not the best film ever made. I believe that this movie was the peak of Copola’s career, even greater than the Godfather. Sure the Godfather was great but it did not have as much substance as this film. This film has so much to it that you can watch it over and over again. It is just so weird and so crazy that it is impossible not to appreciate its greatness. Anyone who says it is terrible just has not opened there eyes wide enough to see an amazing film starring them in the face. I prefer the theatrical version to the Redux version simply for the one scene at the French house. There are other great scenes added into the Redux version but that one scene is the only problem. If the Redux did not contain that one scene then it would be superior to the original. Overall between this film and Pulp Fiction these are the two greatest films ever made. Apocalypse now achieves a perfection that no other movies achieve.
