-Apocalypse Now was a great movie. It took something that was actually true, the Vietnam War, and created a fictional story around it. Francis Ford Coppola’s did a good job by having Martin Sheen play the character of Benjimin L.Williard because he did an amazing job by playing this crazy but smart man. Watching the film I was convinced that Sheen was crazy but he was very educated when it came to the Military. The graphics and violence was excellent in this film, it gave the watchers a sense of what Vietnam was really like. That's what made thisd film so great.
