“I love the smell of napalm in the morning”
The movie, Apocalypse Now, was created in 1979, with the actors Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, and Robert Duvall. The storyline takes place during the Vietnam War, where Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) was sent to Cambodia, by the US military, to assassinate one of the most decorated officers in the US Army, Green Beret Colonel, Walter Kurtz (Marlon Brando). The army sent Willard to kill Kurtz because they believed that Kurtz had gone completely insane and it was Captain Willard’s job to eliminate him. On their way to find Kurtz, Willard and his crew met up with surfer-type Lt-Colonel Kilgore (Robert Duvall), which was head of a US Army helicopter cavalry group that eliminates a Viet Cong outpost to get an entry point into the Nung River. While on their mission, Willard’s crew gave in to drugs and were slowly killed off one by one, by the many evils that surrounded the jungles. ‘As Willard continues his journey he becomes more and more like the man he was sent to kill.’
