The winner of our Robert Duvall poll!!

Movie length: 3h01m58s

A beast of a movie for so many different reasons. This being the winner of the Robert Duvall poll... I think he was the MVP for me!!

Plus it's always great when I get to find out where a quote is from 😁

A great anti-war movie, it felt like a fever dream for me throughout the whole thing.

I would love to know your thoughts.

For this style of reaction, you need your own copy to watch the movie.  You can set picture in picture by right clicking twice on the video and selecting "Picture in picture". The right clicking twice is a bit tricky, because you have to right click, then move your cursor so it's not on the menu, then right click again

FULL LENGTH REACTION | Apocalypse Now (1979) [2026]

You need your own copy of the media to watch along with me though since this is solely my reaction. The video is there so you can have an idea when the scene changes in case you need to sync up, but it is HEAVILY blurred so I don't have any copyright issues. Enjoy!!

Romero Cetera Rivers

Most films are lucky to contain a single great sequence. This film strings together one after another with the river journey as the connecting link. Best being the helicopter attack on a Vietnam village, led by Col. Kilgore, whose choppers use loudspeakers at top volume to play Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" as they swoop down on a yard full of schoolchildren. Robert Duvall won an Oscar nomination for his performance and his unforgettable line, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." His emptiness is frightening. A surfing fanatic, he agrees to the attack, only to liberate a beach said to offer great waves. ( Charlie don't surf! ) Regardless, the whole movie is a journey towards Willard's understanding of how Kurtz, one of the army's best soldiers, penetrated the reality of war to such a depth that he could no longer look without madness and despair. Coppola's "Apocalypse Now!" is the best Vietnam film, one of the greatest of all films, because it pushes beyond the others, into the dark places of the soul. It is not about war so much as about how war reveals truths we would be happy never to discover. 🪖💥
