Apocalypse Now

Watched on May 4th, should’ve probably watched rouge one but this was better. As everyone knows it’s amazing, not really sure how they achieved half the stuff they pulled off on this, incredibly impressive and will probably never be replicated. All round classic.

Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse is a metal documentary unlike any I've seen. Shot during Hellfest, it contains fragments of concerts (best one is by Full of Hell), as one would expect from such a movie. But the typical ends there, because these fragments are shot almost entirely in close-ups. As is everything else - we see one or two people in the audience, the director, who head bangs and switches the cameras for the live footage, the security guard who roughly handles crowd surfers. (The director and guard are shown in medium wide and wide shots). They're all separated in their separate worlds, yet the movie never feels disjointed. The bands, audience, editor, guard exist in their separate parts of the complex reality that is a metal festival, and it's in the ways they intersect, where this short shines. This is done through the sound design which allows us not only to see how these people see the festival, but also hear it the way they do. This is most obvious in the segments with the director (quiet, but he is listening to the music on headphones) and the guard (muffled because of his ear plugs). If there's any critique I have for this short I otherwise really liked, is that it ends with a guy who's probably wearing a Burzum T-shirt.

Apocalypse Now

This is the end... beautiful friend. Extended or recut, this masterpiece is a unforgettable and lysergic depiction of war, that worth the legendary production nightmare. Maybe the Redux (2000) isn't make things worst or even greater, but both cuts have a point. I'm excited about the Final Cut (2019) that will come out on theaters.
