Apocalypse Now

Best movie ever.

This is indeed the best movie ever made. Acting, directing, editing by Walter Murch, the score, Vittorio Storaro's freakishly beautiful cinematography, the sound design, the location, the art direction....EVERYTHING about this movie is a triumph over everything else. Why? Because it is very much the most impossible movie ever made. It took several years to make, actors went through several health issues, the director himself going through a terrible bout of depression, jungles exploding, cattle being chopped up, Marlon Brando not knowing his lines....And everything on the most epic scale for filmmaking since Lawrence of Arabia. This movie had everything going against it, and it came through not only as a finished film but as a masterpiece both from an aesthetic and an entertainment point of view. The reason why this is the best movie ever made is that its stakes were so high, so much higher than almost any film ever, and came through so magnificently without having the need or resources for CGI. Best Movie Ever.
