IF YOU WANT THE BEST OF THE BEST: APOCALYPSE NOW
The best war movies go deeper than the explosions, tragedy and camaraderie. They examine our relationship with violence, and none shows its devastating effects on humanity better than Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 film. An adaptation of the Joseph Conrad novel Heart
of Darkness set in the Vietnam War, Apocalypse Now is a searing indictment of warfare and the evils it brings out in its participants. It’s as heavy and devastating as its subject matter, but always worth viewing. Stream it on Amazon.
