Outstanding!

"I've seen horrors... horrors that you've 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. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies." Apocalypse Now is a genuinely revolutionary war movie from legendary director Francis Ford Coppola. The film is a confronting, haunting war epic that is stimulating and monumental. Not only is it a fantastic war movie but it's also the most honest account of the futility of war. Loosely based on Joseph Conrad's classi...Read more

Essentially, this is one of those war films that, in order to portray the senselessness and confusion of armed conflict, flies off on a bamboozling tangent that can only keep the most interested film viewer glued to the box. The first two acts are utterly brilliant, and there is no doubt that the end of the third act is amazingly tense, but maybe watching the redux version was a bad idea.

I think I'd have given this a much higher rating had it been more bitesized. I guess that's just personal preference though. Worth a watch to see an incredibly young Lawrence Fishburne make his acting debut, as well as for the epic Ride of the Valkyries and surfing scenes.

Rating : 7/10

El horror... el horror...

Antes de comenzar la reseña quiero dejar claro que la misma trata sobre la versión Redux de la película, y no sobre el montaje original. La verdad es que da un cierto vértigo reseñar esta obra, por su calidad y profundidad, pero ahí va mi intento. La estructura de la película podríamos compararla con una road movie. Tenemos a un personaje que realizará un largo viaje con un único objetivo, encontrar y matar al coronel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), un militar con un historial impresionante pero que se ha desviado de la linea ortodoxa del ejercito americano en la guerra de Vietnam. Este personaje, el capitán Willard (Martin Sheen), deberá adentrarse en Vietnam a través de un río (nunca sabemos del todo si está en territorio enemigo o amigo, aunque en el fondo todo el trayect...Read more
