My favorite movie

   It`s really difficult to say an specifc movie that could be my favorite one. Maybe I could say four or five and one of them could be the best, but if I have to refer just one film in this moment, I choose ''Apocalypse Now'' directed by Francis Ford Coppola and released in 1979.

   ''Apocalypse Now'' is a war film, inspirated on the novel Heart of Darkness of the polish writer Joseph Conrad. The main characters of the movie are the captain Benjamin L. Willard performed by Martin Sheen, and the colonel Walter E. Kurtz performed by Marlon Brando. It's located in the times of the Vietnam War. Here, the captain Willard of the U.S. Army is designated to a top-secret mission, where he had to find the colonel Kurtz and kill him, because, according to the army's information, he went insane and it's commanding his own troops in the neutral Cambodia.
    I think the film in general had a lot of great parts, but there are two that are particulary remarkable. One is a famous scene where the U.S. Army bombards the Vietcong fields with the Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries music. And the other is when Willard finds the colonel Kurtz and they talk, with a great use of the lights on the face of Marlon Brando.
   Since I saw ''Apocalypse Now'' I think that this is one of my favorite movies, because it had a lot of elements that make more complex and fascinating the plot of the whole story, like the psychological aspects of the main characters, the use of the music, and historical context of the film. So, in general, I couldn't say something that I would like to change of the movie, because every part, dialogue, character and scene are perfectly done.
