‘Apocalypse Now’ Plot Synopsis
In Apocalypse Now, the U.S. military sends a worn out and fatigued U.S Army captain named Benjamin L. Willard on a harrowing mission into the deepest parts of the jungle during the height of the Vietnam War. They task him with eliminating a rogue Green Beret officer named Walter E. Kurtz who has gone completely insane. With a small squad of soldiers, Willard sets out in a boat and heads upriver towards Kurtz’ base. However, Willard soon eerily realizes that the closer he gets to his target, the more he seems himself in the Green Beret. If he’s to be successful on his mission, Willard will not return home the same man.

Have you seen Aguirre the wrath of god? Similar to this film, but a lot shorter.
I haven’t seen it, but heard of it. It seems to be very well liked though!
Are any Terrence Malick films on the list? Was just rewatching Badlands with Martin Sheen.
I like Badlands; that’s a good one, but I do not know if anyone has his films on their list.
