Apocalypse Now First Time Witnessing The Horror

UM. This movie was incredible and also extremely hard to watch. I was pulled out a bit from some animal cruelty and unable to speak. I do understand why he shot that scene the way he did...symbolize the sacrifice. I just had no words and couldn't believe my eyes! I couldn't stop comment on the brilliance of the cinematography because it was outstanding work. There are a lot more things I picked up on editing that I may of forgotten on the first go - but I think that is normal with a movie like this!

Been waiting for this one...The balls it took to finance and complete this picture cannot be underestimated. It's supposed to evoke a visceral reaction. It certainly did when I saw it with my Dad in 1979. When I think of EPIC filmmaking this movie certainly makes the top 5. The budget on it then was $42 million which was unheard of. Coppola himself had to re-mortgage his house to help finance it. It's simply a joy to watch every time and only deepens my respect for Coppola and everyone involved in finishing it. Since you're a die hard Duvalli, gotta watch OPEN RANGE... He's amazing in it...

Ames, since you want to see more of Robert Duvall, I would strongly recommend the original "M*A*S*H" (1970), in which he plays another completely different character, and also "The Great Santini" (1979). Both are terrific, must-see movies.

No movie has ever captured the horrors of war better than this one. It's not really about Vietnam or any specific war, but about war in general and about the insanity of humans who can't seem to exist without it.

ya this movie and full metal jacket are f-ed up. And "is there animal cruelty", I was like uh oh she wont like later.

This movie is an adventure for sure, like a R rated Huckleberry Finn haha

It’s a fiction…I would like to recommend “We Were Soldiers “ Mel Gibson masterpiece. Unlike this, it’s a very true story of Vietnam. As a film this was a artful well made work of fiction

Ryan Gonzalez

Great pick and your reaction was so much fun, as always. Full Metal Jacket and Platoon are now mandatory!! Platoon is awesome because it’s an incredible Vietnam story starring Charlie Sheen, complete with him narrating his inner turmoil the entire time. Willem Dafoe gives a truly heartbreaking performance and Tom Berenger is otherworldly as Sgt Barnes. Full Metal Jacket is a whole other thing. Forget war movies, it’s one of the best movies ever.

Every time I watch this film, it’s a mind trip. So many thoughts and feelings. I’ll try to narrow down my thoughts to a couple of ideas which really stood out to me this time through. The idea that the necessities of war outweigh considerations of morality (an idea I personally disagree with). The film expands on the idea of “war is hell” to include the corollary, “in order to defeat the evil, we must become the evil”. This is especially poignant in Colonel Kurtz’s monologue, when he says, “I’ve seen horrors… horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that… but you have no right to judge me. It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face… and you must make a friend of horror.” It is sobering to think of the terrible moral dilemmas faced by soldiers in every war, but I personally think we must never abandon our morality. That being said, I think it’s not up to us to judge others. I am reminded of another quote by Hemant Kumar, "Before you judge my life, my past or my character, walk in my shoes, walk the path I have traveled, live my sorrows, my doubts, my fear, my pain & my laughter... Remember everyone has a story, when you have lived my life then you can judge me...." The second idea is about adaptation and acclimatization. I once worked for a Swiss company that manufactures flavors and perfumes. When I first joined the company, I was nearly overcome by the powerful odors permeating the plant. It was overwhelming. But over time, I began to acclimate to my environment and found myself barely noticing. These powerful smells became familiar to me in such a way that I began to treat them as normal. In the film, I find it fascinating that, as viewers, we begin to become numb (in just a couple of hours), to all the violence and chaos. This is especially evident toward the end of the film when Kurtz drops Chef’s severed head into Willard's lap. Even though Willard screams, we, as audience members, are barely shocked. I find it interesting (and a bit disturbing), that we can so quickly adapt to our surroundings and become numb to what is happening around us. Psychologically, it’s an important self-defense mechanism to help us cope in difficult situations, but if pushed to extremes, as in war, a truly horrible and terrifying reality can begin to look normal. How does a person return home to their former way of life after that? It’s a sober thought.
