It's the second best war film after Come and See, so it's pretty well hyped.

A genuine piece of art that is accessible to both plebs and patricians. Also, one of the most visually beautiful pieces of cinema ever put to screen

I just saw come and see and came to the same conclusion. Why does that movie never get talked about?

Has any director had a better stretch of movies in such a short period of time than Coppola?

Fun Fact, Apocalypse Now was inspired by a book called Heart of Darkness
definitley give that a read
I read it in an afternoon
It takes place in Africa during the 19th century

Everyone who knows anything about Apocalypse Now already knows that

Brando was supposed to read it and never did, then showed up to set fat as shit and didn't know his lines. And still gave an iconic performance.

Fantastic film

The best Vietnam War movie hands down. Tried watching Platoon today and it was like trying to sit through a soap opera in the jungle.
