If you've seen Apocalypse Now you know how you can be at a complete loss for words after a viewing.
A full day later, I've finally found some sentences to describe this masterpiece with, although they won't do it any justice at all.

You're not going to have a joyous watch. This movie is anything but entertaining.
Its message is to tell you how war is pointless hell, a message it conveys relentlessly.

Gut-wrenching from the first scene and heartbreaking after only 40 minutes. I felt devastated, and that is the exact message that must be delivered.
