When the movie begins, the war is raging around us.

The film also raises some severe philosophical issues, and gives us entirely new ones. Some of the best photography and lighting ever can be found here.

(for more realistic 'Nam War movies, try 'The Deer Hunter' or 'Platoon') But what 'Apocalypse Now' lacks in historical accuracy, it makes up in artistic and dramatic scripting. 'Apocalypse Now' is not a realistic film in the sense that the presentation of the Vietnam War is far from correct: helicopters going in BEFORE the napalm strikes, a USO show in the jungle at night, and the final bridge all lit-up like a Christmas tree. There was a French plantation scene that got cut out, and an alternate ending that would have had a massive battle scene outside Kurtz's compound. The whole film seems like it's taking place on a different world, and as the story moves on, sanity itself is shed. The beginning has no credits or titles nothing. So just how insane is 'Apocalypse Now'? Well, let's say that it is the kind of film that makes you want to bang your head against the wall.
