Without this Apocalypse Now, would Coppola be active on the front lines?

First of all, I feel that this cannot be regarded as a successful film, especially in the second half, it has to be connected with religious gods, etc., highlighting the confusing and fascinating style of Vietnam and Cambodia, but it is outside the theme, or It is said that the subject of the author's thought is too large to express, the colorful smoke that permeates at that moment is like the confusion and disgust on the face of the male protagonist, covering the hearts of the audience at all times. The yellowish hue, the love of the French house, is strange. The performance of the comfort army, the perplexed playgirl, the death of each supporting role, all see the director’s ambition and talent, but the three-hour film length and the unpleasant rhythm make the watching process extremely tired. I only hope that the movie will end soon, and the protagonist will finally The performance of his victory is also extremely vague, confusing.
The Americans were deeply trapped in the Vietnam War, and Coppola was almost bankrupt as a result of the film. Failure was failure. The strong desire to express in his heart was inconsistent with the effect of the film. Coppola wanted to be high, but he made such a semi-finished product. It is estimated that I can't be high, and the audience does not buy it at the box office. It is not only a pity, but also worthy of guard against future generations.
