Caught this last night. Excellent film.
So many subtleties, morals, messages. It shocks, it envokes thought, it excites, it enraptures - personally, I really enjoyed it. The acting was spot on with many great performers (Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, to name a few) making short but very sweet appearances. Even Francis Ford Coppola had a brief cameo, but this didn't detract from the superb direction. Martin Sheen was excellent in the lead role.
I preferred it to Platoon which, much to my friends' disgust, I wasn't greatly impressed with.
What does everyone else think?

Damn missed it, I was intending to watch it aswell >:(
We we're studying it in AS Media the other week, because of the contrasts in sound with the actions of the film.

Martin Sheen is freed to walk about Kurtz's compound as he wishes. Realises Kurtz must want him to kill him. Sheen beats Kurtz to death. Goes home. Ending line:
"The horror. The horror."
Credits roll in silence with napalm explosions in background.
Excellent.

Excellent.
I missed the end - saw up to the scene when Kurtz threw Chef's head onto Jack's lap when he was tied up. Tell me, pwease.
Pfft, that's not the real subject. Heh.
Based on Heart of Darkness, so it could really be set anywhere and still be turned into what it is, but Vietnam provided a similar location to the Congo. Excellent film, and I understand more bits of Conrad's story and the film itself each time I watch.
