Apocalypse Now

I can understand why people discuss this film, but I don't understand why people consider it difficult to follow. It seems to me that most of the things delt with are archtypes that are pretty common across literature. I certainly found it more approchable then Heart of Darkness, which it was (loosely) based on. It's not a happy movie by any means but it's not as soul shattering as The Deer Hunter, a movie with a similar motif set at the same time. This movie certainly lived up to it's excellent reputation. The only (very small) gripe I have is that portions of the soundtrack have aged noticably.

A true A+ film
