#138 - Apocalypse Now

This week we take a boat up a river as more and more crazy things happen and we descend into madness and succumb to the bliss of mindless bloodshed. JUST KIDDING - But we are reviewing Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 masterpiece Apocalypse Now. Loosely based on the novella 'Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conrad (Which we didn't even MENTION what were we even DOING), this film follows Captain Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen) and crew on a journey from South Vietnam into Cambodia, on a top secret mission to terminate the command of a disgruntled and presumed insane military officer, Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando). Featuring other big names such as Robert Duvall, Lawrence Fishburne and Harrison Ford, this film is a visual masterpiece and a pillar of filmmaking. But... Is Apocalypse Now Good?
