Pros and Cons of Apocalypse Now

Pros -

Robert Duvall

Martin Sheen and his narration.

Its depiction of the madness of war. The Do Lung bridge sequence looks like something out of a nightmare.

Vittorio Storaro's cinematography. Probably the best element of the Redux cut was the use of Technicolor dye transfer prints, resulting in exceptionally rich colors.

The balls to pull off a scene like the Helicopter assault.

Cons -

The French Plantation scene shows why it was wisely removed from the theatrical cut. It screeches the film to a halt and is better viewed as a stand alone sequence.

Brando's blabbery. I do like the scene in the Redux cut where he reads an article from Time Magazine discussing the war, though.

The ending is pretty anticlimactic. Still, I'm not sure what other ending could have worked.
