Apocalypse Now was a movie about a US Army Captain, Willard, was recruited back to go on a special mission to kill Colonel Kurtz, a former US soldier who they believe to be insane. Colonel Kurtz now is the leader of a group of people who now follow him as a 'God'. Once Captain Willard got to Kurtz, he wasn't sure about what he believed. He didn't know wether he believed him or what the US army was suggesting.

The opening scene of the movie starts with showing Sheen overlapped with many other images, war images, and other images that give foreshadowing as to his past and his future. I also thought the sound of the helicopter paired with the image of the fan was very effective. It made you think about the war aspect of the movie and of Sheen's life, but quickly brought it to present day in his apartment when it cut to the fan.

In my opinion, the movie, followed Captain Willard and his crew very well. It showed the emotion and the building progression of the crew's frustration and fading stamina as the months wore on and his crew decreased in number. At times it was frustrating because you could see the potential outcome of bad situations, and then it would happen but in the same sense you could see the potential good that would also be lived up to. I loved the determination of Captain Willard to do something he didn't believe in 100% however, put his whole heart into simply because it was his mission and he was on a mission for his country.

As other would probably agree, the last 10 minuets of the movie was most effective. The lighting between Willard and Kurtz told more of a story to me then the words actually did. And while you questioned the state of his loyalty at the end his faithfulness shone through.
