The Best Vietnam war film ever made period. Francis Ford Coppola's characters are so in depth, and give remarkable performances. I think this is Marlon Brando's best performance, he makes it seem as though his character is actually himself. All of the dialog is so well written and gives a poetic sense of greatness. I have never seen a better opening to a movie, The End by The Doors against a napalm bombing background, is so perfect. The end of the film is also just as excellent as the beginning in its own stirring way, and with The Doors playing in the background again. "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."

Loosely based on Joseph Conrad's novel, "Heart of Darkness", "Apocalypse Now" is a surreal journey upriver in the middle of the Vietnam War.Martin Sheen is given a mission to assassinate Colonel Kurtz (Brando),who has been running amok deep in the jungles of Cambodia with his own military unit/religious cult. Sheen hitches a ride upriver with a small group of loose cannons and drop-outs, finding madness waiting behind every bend in the river. Robert Duvall gives a memorable performance as the gung-ho Col. Kilgore, and Marlon Brando gives one of his best performances as he loses himself in the twisted mind of Colonel Kurtz. The film was re-released with an extra 50 minutes of footage added. This movie is epic in every sense, and when the screen fades to black at the end, you'll have gone through one of the most unique experiences in modern filmaking.Read full review
Martin Sheen was the best actor, not Brando. He should have gotten top billing. Toom much and too loud background music. Couln't understand much of what was said half the time.
