Well, we rang in the new year with a night of dress-up and drinking, and spent the first full day of 2011 sleeping, eating Chinese food, and finally watching Apocalypse Now because it's been on my to-watch list for at least forever. Drawing from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Coppola's epic focuses on Captain Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen), a long-time soldier who can no longer deal with life outside of Vietnam. He's sent on a special mission to sneak into enemy territory and assassinate a Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), a charismatic leader gone rogue in the jungle, leading a horde of cultish followers who carry out his orders without question as he attempts to fight the war on his own terms. Willard spends weeks cruising down the Nung River with a motley Navy crew (including a very young Laurence Fishburne), getting into skirmishes and ruminating on the puzzling nature of his target.
