Apocalypse Now (1979)

Date watched: May 12

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning." -Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore

Review: Finally, a movie worthy of the praise that Francis Ford Coppola garners. Perhaps the longest movie I've ever seen, at about twenty minutes over three hours. Robert Duvall is my favorite in the movie, with the famous quote. Martin Sheen's performance was amazing, and he looks so young, you could mistake him for Charlie Sheen, and his voice sounds like Emilio Estevez's. He fathered them, so it makes sense. The story drags a bit, and the anti-war sentiments do get overplayed. It was strange seeing Laurence(Larry) Fishburne at such an early age.

Rating: 8.4/10.0
