Apocalypse Now! is the best film ever produced. Prove me wrong.

In retrospect, it was kind of silly.
I want the Apocalypse later though. After I'm dead preferably.
You're wrong
Redux is
Just a reminder that Kurtz was the hero in the story, and anyone who thinks otherwise missed the film's message.
There are two of you.. one that kills and one that loves.
based
there's no hero of the story, stick to capeshit
No and Come and See is a better war film.
Kurtz was a renegade but he was was right in how he wanted to win the war.
Missed it, huh? It's an anti-war movie. Kurtz was ridding the world of pro-military members and had sickened himself in the end by all the violence. That's why he accepted death so willingly in the last scene.
what's the new cut like?
this.
Sad thing men like Kurtz could have won the war. The US betrayed him when he wasn't PC enough
Ending was underwhelming and badass Kilgore tok away too much spotlight from Kurtz.
The best thing ever, unironically.
kurtz was a sociopath that found paradise playing king of the hill over simple minded savages
Cut perfectly. Like my dick. kys dog dick fags
Kilgore was dope but Kurtz was a literal God King. He wanted to die in the end because his country has failed and he was reduced to nothing by the government.
Kilgore was a scared faggot. They even called it out in the narration. He was a literal representation of what was wrong with America.
this exactly desu
did you even watch the movie?
Kilgore was the metaphor for US military prowess with no clear objective. He was the machine.
Hearts of Darkness was better
Very disappointing film. First two acts are god tier, but they build up Kurtz so much and then the ending is just dog shit taking the rest down with it. EXTREMELY overrated pretentious shit.
Not every movie has to come down to hero vs villain. Everything isn't black and white kid
Ending was God tier. Kurtz realized he couldnt win. He wanted an honorable officer like WIllard to off him and everything he created. Even though he probably could have won if given support. He missed his son though and realized there was no going back.
This. Also, holy checked
Low iq opinion
brainlet responses. delete yourselves
He also trusted Willard to go back home and explain to his son what he had try to do. Willard eradicated Kurtz existence with the promise that he would be remembered as a proper soldier.
And this makes the ending good how exactly?
It was over the top and shoddily executed camp shit that ruined the whole flick.
cringe
this, honestly.
>huh muh you interpreted it wrong
you could say same about every movie ever and argue it is great
It's the perfect ending. Willard killed Kurtz and called in the air strike. He presumably annihilated the entire settlement and went back home to give some solace to Kurtz family. It was a farce of a war and one of the people trying to win it(kurtz) was betrayed by his own goverment because Kurtz war made for bad headlines.
Wow a bunch of boomers took a camping trip in the jungle jerking each other off for having the bravery to suggest that the Vietnam war was bad, in universalizing and obfuscating terms, in the late 70s. "Like, war changes people man."
American film-makers should be disbarred from ever making another movie about one of America's wars ever again because they're almost all embarrassing.
>good narrative = good movie
yeah, okay, we are talking about different things entirely.
The entire narrative is great though. How modern occupation wars are ridiculous and could be easily won without an impotent government.
Imagine being in the special forces and assigned to go kill a renegade full bird Colonel in the jungle. Shit like this actually happened in Nam to with special forces going rogue.
Who here actually saw the final cut?
overhyped as fuck.
The supporting actors are almost all bad
