The first thing I read was a poem written by Dajiba. It was very simple, "Apocalypse Now", the smell of incendiary bombs in the morning. Later, when I watched "Apocalypse Now" at school for the first time, I couldn't stand it anymore, and I lost interest in the green rain forest and muddy faces.
It is said that the most important scene in the new version of "Apocalypse Now" is that Gopra and Mashu re-added the three dramas that were discarded in the past to the film: on the rescue helicopter and the playboy labor girl; the ghost French rubber Funerals, dinners and sex in the plantation; there is also a scene in the lair of Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) the defector.
There are killings and deaths in almost every passage, making a slight threat, also from a tiger in the mountain. People have talked too much about the topic of war and destruction. In fact, director Coppola’s thinking did not stop here. He gave more consideration to the social background and reasons of the Vietnam War. The title is "Apocalypse Now". , Wagner’s music that Colonel Kobby likes. The reason here is chaotic, a messy discussion of a bunch of neurotic French people and discussions about the United States and France at the dinner in the ghost French rubber plantation. There is also a dreamlike sex after opium smoke.
By the way, too many scenes took place in the smoke, the water mist on the river, the smoke bombs and signal flares on the battlefield, and the hazy fog at the entrance of the dark room. For those who are in it, they do not have a clear and direct understanding of the truth and future of the event. They just live in the smoke mechanically. Therefore, cruelty is just a subconscious behavior. Regarding the presentation and thinking of modernity, we are still continuing, and so are the American soldiers.
That is the Middle East, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in deserts like the Middle East. From the rain forest to the desert, I don’t know how the Americans will explain everything they face. Decades have passed, but everything seems to be continuing and repeating. The black widow’s body bomb and the Vietnamese girl with a grenade in her hand look so similar. Only this time, the religious background is stronger.
