Why Haven't I Seen That?: APOCALYPSE NOW

Welcome to a new installment of WHY HAVEN'T I SEEN THAT?, where we talk about a must-see or iconic movie that we have never seen...until now. This week we take a look at Francis Ford Coppola's war epic... APOCALYPSE NOW.  Enjoy.

“Apocalypse Now is not about Vietnam; It is Vietnam,” is something the writer-director Francis Ford Coppola has said about his War Epic, and I would honestly agree with him.

Going into this film, I had no clue what it was about and I did that purposefully. However, for the purpose of this film review I’ll give the premise of the film. Apocalypse Now is about Captain Willard who during the Vietnam War is sent to assassinate a renegade Colonel. The film is directed by Francis Ford Coppola and stars Martin Sheen as Captain Benjamin L. Willard, Marlon Brando as Colonel Walter E. Kurtz, and Robert Duvall as Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore.
