"Apocalypse Now" stopped being a perfect movie after "Redux", because whether we like it or not, we still have to consider this movie with this version we have to admit that sometimes it gets a bit and that The new addition, although in reality it also magnifies a movie with more parts that could give arguments to the most critical ones.
Anyway, this is one of the most legendary films in recent film history and there are not many directors in film history who have as immaculate a decade as Francis Ford Coppola did in the 1970s, and this movie shows that when one is inspired, they offer the best one after another.
With a scenario of the extreme right John Milius, not very well understood by some moviegoers, who are horrified by the war, while the main thing is to understand that what is going to win a war, is freed from prejudice and morality, as proclaimed a character who is viewed with true admiration and is presented as the best. So this is a message in which the American public opinion and the media are criticized for not knowing how to be with an army when it comes to winning the Vietnam War.
Anti-colonialism is not as marked as in the without a doubt, even in the part of French colonists they are justified and understood and have been emptied for a long time and reality in the middle of a place where there was nothing before. Therefore, It is not an antimilitarist film, less pacifist as I had the opportunity to read it, what is really superb is that it has a great philomasonic content, in the sense of continuous symbolism expressed by each shot of the Coppola film.
It should also be noted that starting an inspiring book by Joseph Conrad, one of the greatest European writers of all time, begins with a goal advantage before the start.
There are also movies that already shoot another movie in themselves and "Apocalypse Now" one of the most obvious cases in history of how in witness this magnificent documentary titled "Hearts Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse" where you will appreciate as those who like this movie.
I can not forget to mention the work of an irregular and little used actor like Martin Sheen, however this magnificent interpretation of Captain will remain forever like other cases of "Bad lands" or "Wall Street".
