"Judgment" Gets Us Down

I made two mistakes: first, I didn't watch the director's cut, and second, I didn't find a good quality translation.

Why is my deepest impression of "magic reality"?

Allow me to drop the word "ism". Apocalypse Now, classified as a war movie. Flesh and blood flew, bullets rained. However, the realistic pictures like news reports, combined with the fantasy narrative, endow the film with a sense of mystery and heterogeneity.

Indeed, from the book of Revelation in the Bible to the Book of Revelation Now, it is not only the clever name, but also the organic connection in the content structure. Otherwise, how can I think about such mysterious and mysterious things as religion and war, words and images, like crazy, hahaha.

Less preaching, no sensationalism, no moral judgment, only using pictures to speak. Quiet sympathy is powerful, like an inch punch. Silently complained, creating a feeling of suffocation, as if throwing people into a vacuum. "Revelation" is a verb that keeps your mind racing and overwhelmed. You will think of huge propositions such as the injustice of war and the authenticity of the existence of the humanitarian spirit, and you will also think of the bizarreness of the world, and even once doubted who the "madman" really is. It's fascinating that a movie brings such a huge amount of information. Instead, I like the chaotic feeling of "unclear".

On second thought, I feel postmodern. more and more absurd.

judge, judge, judge, determine. Quite a sharp and very important word. "Judgment (moral judgment) gets us down" or "Judgment gets us down"? Is it "you have the right to kill me but not judge me" or "you have the right to kill me but not judge me"?

God, I'd better choose "judgment".

Trouble God be ruthless, cut a rift between "yes" and "no", so that the world is full of absolute good and evil. He had better start a little harder, and judge the ignorant world from the highest omniscient perspective—everyone need not be confused and think about morality and human nature.

As soon as we close our eyes, we will go to hell together.

    It's good to see explosions, fireworks, incendiary bombs, and psychedelics flying all over the place, the French elegy to the lessons of the Americans. Along the Mekong River, the distortions of human nature and war madness along the way are shocking. Civilization and morality have no place here, nor is surf rock music. There is no sleepiness for three and a half hours (the large area of ​​shadow at the end is slightly sleepy), extremely rare, praising the giant oriental screen in the first hall of Shanghai Studios, it is very bright, and the spike movie archive

    Coppola's masterpiece based on Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" won the Palme d'Or when it was not completed. The description and thinking of war in the whole film is far better than most war films, but the real motif is: the dark side of civilization. It uses a lot of metaphors and symbols to reveal the madness of human nature with expressionist brushwork. The images of colorful smoke, Wagner, battlefield surfing, fallen manor, altar are full of absurdity and irrationality, and the film technology and connotation are at their peak. (9.0/10)
