Today I visited a college and in a mock class we watched the opening to Apocalypse Now. I hadn't seen the movie in going on a year, and since reading Heart of Darkness I had sort of been wanting to rewatch it. Watching the opening again, I was just instantly reminded that this movie is a true masterpiece, much more entertaining and even insightful than the book. I can't even think of a more perfect opening at this moment. "The End" just works so masterfully, it's like it was written for this movie.
