Re: Apocalypse Now (Theatrical Version)

I'm glad you liked the movie!

I like Kurtz a lot, but I think I can understand where you're coming from. Brando's definitely very actor-ly in the role. I think, in some ways, he is supposed to be slightly surreal - almost larger than life - rather than necessarily being authentic and just being tied to the specifics of the Vietnam War. That's how I take stuff like the whole montage with the sacrificial cow (IIRC - been a minute since I watched the film). But I can see how that might not work for you.

It is a fantastically well made movie, though - just every element ticking over perfectly. It is absolutely crawling with atmosphere, no doubt.
