    “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.” What a FILM that has a new horror at every scene. I have a lot of thoughts but first want to note that I watched the Redux version, which I think includes more footage so I watched 3 hours and 15 minutes of “Apocalypse Now”! Overall, I think the highlight of this film is that it emphasizes the psychological traumas of war instead of the physical traumas (although it does this too).…

The sets and the cinematography are very well-done and aid the development of the story so well. I thought that everyone did a wonderful job but Austin Butler took my breath away.
