Apocalyspe Now

They didn't call them choppers cause they were nice, I can tell you that...
..

Genre: Action Adventure War Drama

.
Starring: Martin Sheen
, Marlon Brando

.
Directed By: Francis Ford Coppola


.

Overview: A soldier is sent on a mission to kill a mad rogue Colonel, in war-torn Vietnam.
.


Performance:
Robert Duvall's role is understood as being one of the best of the film, even of any film ever written, and I can't disagree. There was so much truth during the filming (Martin Sheen's drunken mirror smash was 100% real) that the events that took place for these actors made, quite obviously, a tremendous impact on their performance.


.

Cinematography:
One of the highest budgets, endless days of shooting, often with no end in sight, makes for lots and lots of rolls of film. Aerials, explosions, grand panoramas, exciting stunts... This film is an American classic, and part of the reason is certainly the visual aspect. Without perfect cinematography, it would lose some of it's edge, as Deerhunter did.

Rating: 10

Script:
"Charlie don't Surf!"
.


"Why do you guys sit on your helmets?" "So we don't get our balls blown up."
.


"I love the smell of napalm in the morning. That smell, that gasoline smell... Smells like... Victory."
.


"The Horror... The Horror."
.
