Feeling and ask

Are we really freer than primitive people? Is it better than them? Will you forget the horror of darkness if you stay in the light for a long time? If the development of civilization is the transformation of people (including bodies and minds), then this will last forever, just as we are now very different from some primitive tribes in Africa. In the end, are we still humans? Did we eliminate "self" by ourselves? If the value of the future is different from today, does it seem ridiculous and meaningless to strive for "development"?

    #siff2020# After watching, I didn't know what to say, so I stood in front of the theater and smoked in silence. This 140 yuan may be the most valuable sum of money I have recently spent. Later, when I joked with my friends and complained about watching old movies, I finally found the perfect reason: Yes, I'm just waiting for such an opportunity!

    Crazy realism, intertwined with expressionism and magicalism, presents the scene of apocalyptic judgment like "Apocalypse Now". Coppola wrote the modern Apocalypse, and surpassed the level of ordinary war films, telling how the annihilation of personality embraces barbarism and primitive fables. Above the anti-war is the analysis of human nature, marking the end of extreme personality towards barbarism. . The language of the film is first-rate. But I don't like it too much.

Apocalypse Now quotes

  • Kilgore: Smell that? You smell that?

    Lance: What?

    Kilgore: Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell? The whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end.

    [he reflects on this for a moment and frowns. Then he gets up and walks away. Willard stares at him in disbelief]

  • Kurtz: Did they say why, Willard, why they want to terminate my command?

    Willard: I was sent on a classified mission, sir.

    Kurtz: It's no longer classified, is it? Did they tell you?

    Willard: They told me that you had gone totally insane, and that your methods were unsound.

    Kurtz: Are my methods unsound?

    Willard: I don't see any method at all, sir.

    Kurtz: I expected someone like you. What did you expect? Are you an assassin?

    Willard: I'm a soldier.

    Kurtz: You're neither. You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.
