Movie:
We felt obligated to watch this movie here in our amateur classroom of film. After all it was directed by Francis Ford Coppola & includes greats such as Marlon Brando, Robert DuVall & Dennis Hopper. However we struggled to hang on towards the end & now feel that much of it was just an egotistical rant on Coppola's part. I can't imagine how alienating this would have been when it came out in 1979 right on the heels of the war's end. Audiences were not used to seeing such grotesque images but unfortunately over the past 30+ years we have become more immune especially after shows such as Game of Thrones.Regardless of its imperfections this remains a must see for those serious about movies. It certainly starts off strong but gets lost as we make our way further & further up the river. Maybe that's Coppola's whole point though?
