Diary entries forApocalypse Now
Apocalypse Now
Spanish: Una auténtica maravilla visual. Por instantes me hacía olvidar el HORROR que estaba presenciando. English: A true visual marvel. At times, it made me forget the HORROR I was witnessing.
Apocalypse Now
Watched on May 4th, should’ve probably watched rouge one but this was better. As everyone knows it’s amazing, not really sure how they achieved half the stuff they pulled off on this, incredibly impressive and will probably never be replicated. All round classic.
Apocalypse Now
Apocalypse is a metal documentary unlike any I've seen. Shot during Hellfest, it contains fragments of concerts (best one is by Full of Hell), as one would expect from such a movie. But the typical ends there, because these fragments are shot almost entirely in close-ups. As is everything else - we see one or two people in the audience, the director, who head bangs and switches the cameras for the live footage, the security guard who roughly handles crowd surfers. (The director and guard are shown in medium wide and wide shots). They're all separated in their separate worlds, yet the movie never feels disjointed. The bands, audience, editor, guard exist in their separate parts of the complex reality that is a metal festival, and it's in the ways they intersect, where this short shines. This is done through the sound design which allows us not only to see how these people see the festival, but also hear it the way they do. This is most obvious in the segments with the director (quiet, but he is listening to the music on headphones) and the guard (muffled because of his ear plugs). If there's any critique I have for this short I otherwise really liked, is that it ends with a guy who's probably wearing a Burzum T-shirt.
Apocalypse Now
This is the end... beautiful friend. Extended or recut, this masterpiece is a unforgettable and lysergic depiction of war, that worth the legendary production nightmare. Maybe the Redux (2000) isn't make things worst or even greater, but both cuts have a point. I'm excited about the Final Cut (2019) that will come out on theaters.

Apocalypse Now
Apocalypse Now is haunting, intense, and visually unforgettable, capturing the madness of war in a powerful way. The atmosphere and iconic scenes are incredible, even if the film feels long and unfocused at times. Overall, Apocalypse Now is a bold and disturbing war epic that leaves a lasting impression.
Apocalypse Now
watched Apocalypse Now Redux. i dont know the difference between this on and Apocalypse Now. disappointed to say i didn't like this one. while like all war movies it had good cinematography, war scenes, etc. the overall story was not great to me, also like i really don't understand the point of the French scenes. from having dinner with the French family to getting high with the French women who then stood naked in front of him behind a screen all the while we know nothing about the whereabouts of his crew. what the fuck did any of that have to do with the Vietnam war? and the the end when we finally get to kurtz,,, it was just a mess to me.
Apocalypse Now
Filme maluco, que fica mais maluco quanto mais eles sobem o rio. Muito foda
Apocalypse Now
Utterly haunting and truly unforgettable.
Apocalypse Now
O diretor usa do rock psicodélico, da fumaça e da chama das explosões para o seu maneirismo afim de representar a loucura americana e o horror de uma guerra cada vez mais sem sentido. Toda a reflexão do personagem principal o leva a mesma conclusão do seu alvo que decidiu abandonar o lado estadunidense na guerra. É cada vez mais difícil ao longo da viagem aceitar que a vida de milhares de jovens são deixadas nas mãos de comandantes psicopatas. O imperialismo quebra toda barreira lógica e moral, visto o encontro com a base militar francesa, pois eles se recusam a recuar e perder mais outra guerra na sua história mesmo claramente não tendo forças para prosseguir. É também notável a referência do filme que é inspirado no livro inglês "coração das trevas" devido ao nome do personagem alvo também ser Kurtz.
