APOCALYPSE NOW

A lot of time has passed since this great movie was released. It was first released at Cannes Film Festival on 10th May, 1979. Then it was released in US on 15th August, 1979 which ironically is India's independence day. This movie was never released in India. It explains why some of the most experienced people associated with film making in India can not grasp the significance and appeal of this great piece of art. If anyone knows what Coppola had to go through while making this movie he can never overlook this movie. This movie is easily one of the greatest war epics ever made. It is such a landmark movie that it needs no praise or any eulogies as it is beyond all these banal things. I am indebted to my good Friend who made me watch this great piece of Cinema and made me realise the power of great art. I salute Coppola and his untiring spirit which made this great movie possible despite all the naysayers. Go ahead and experience this eternally great movie and learn a thing or two about film making as well as Life.
