    Apocalypse Now” “ I love the smell of Napalm in the morning‚ smells like victory.” This is one of the quotes I believe sums up much of the Apocalypse Now movie.

The soldiers were either mentally unstable‚ or disturbed‚ showing their human side. Personally I think the original version was much more artistic than the redux version

    Apocalypse Now‚ directed by Francis Ford Coppola‚ is the story of Captain Willard’s journey up the Nung River in Cambodia to kill a general‚ Kurtz‚ who has lost control of himself.
