[SS] "Apocalypse Now" took me on an adventure to explore the edge of human nature.
The first layer of the film is the criticism of the Vietnam War. The most impressive thing is that in the classical music of Wagner's "Valkyrie", the Vietnamese fled in panic; after that, the US army swooped from an absolute height to the Vietnamese soldiers and civilians like ants; The thunderous explosions, the roar of helicopters, and the blasting of machine guns gradually overwhelmed the "Valkyrie". The film staged a majestic killing amidst the calm command of the US military and the panic howling of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians. Justice and evil, strong and weak, beautiful and ugly, needless to say, war is actually a game where the strong builds on the pain of the weak, and the sacred is just a lie.
The second theme of the film is the torture of human nature, not to mention that Colonel Colz looks like a certain Italian French dictator, Colonel Colz, a man who lost sympathy and discipline in the war, and hated the lies of the US military. , Very early decided to go deep into the jungle and fight alone. He established a small kingdom there and became a dictator. Colonel Kelz’s barbarism is not unreasonable. The protagonist goes upstream all the way. It is the process from modernity to barbarism, and is also repeating what Colonel Kolz has gone through. Path: Ignore life, lose awe, go lost, yearn for power and violence. And all this leads to dictatorship and barbarism.
The desire for power, the indifference to life, and the habit of lies are the beginning of mankind’s transition from modernity to feudalism and barbarism. Beware of the darkness in people’s hearts. This is the Apocalypse for Modern Times.
