Rated: 
|
 A masterful film about
the moral madness of the Vietnam War, inspired by the novella
"Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad. A soldier named
Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) is sent into the Cambodian jungle
to assassinate a Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) who has become
insane and now runs his own fiefdom. The grueling production
and Coppola's insistence on authenticity led to vast budget overruns
and physical and emotional breakdowns. Considered by many to
be the best war movie of all time, incredible performances and
beautifully chaotic visuals make it an absolute must-see.
