War is crazy

In this film, Coppola uses his vigorous and steady shooting style to majesticly portray the artillery battlefield in Vietnam into a hell full of atrocities and killings. What he discusses is the huge impact of this cruel war on people. , Through the cruelty of the mad Colonel Kotz to show how people's minds are gradually lost in such an environment. Marlon Brando played the indiscriminate killing of the innocent Colonel Kotz, who was portrayed by Coppola as a man who gradually became numb to blood during the Vietnam War. He was immersed in the reign of blood, unable to change and could only submit, but now he is here to assassinate. When his Captain Weiler appeared in front of him, Colonel Kezi did not kill him. Instead, he used Captain Weiler's hand to complete his long-awaited death. For him, perhaps this was the best way to escape. Director Francisco Pola’s portrayal of this character is based on the original "Heart of Darkness". He is a heinous "ruler" who promotes a brutal, bloody, and inhuman ruling, but he is so eager to be liberated. The actor Malone Brando has completely created this man who is full of contradictions. His interpretation of Colonel Kotz and the line "You have the right to kill me, but you have no right to judge me" have been deeply engraved in the hearts of many movie fans. An indelible classic image. Original source: http://t.cn/R0QsTmh

    4.5. The preaching meaning is a bit heavy, especially the French family section is even more straightforward. In fact, the audience can understand the implicit words, so why bother to be so long-winded. But the sound effects and the sense of picture are really top-notch, and the depressed atmosphere can be felt from the first shot. If the deer hunter is a war reflection of a personal narrative, then this film is a collective deformity and madness.

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.
