We rip them in half with machine guns and give them a Bundy

The clip lighting was exceptional, especially in those days. The lighting in the back part is extremely accurate and can be used as a demonstration film for lighting lessons.

The lines in this film are interesting:
1. The Viet Cong did not have a labor party. They either stood firm or moved quickly; what they wanted for vacation was cold rice and a little bit of rat meat. They have two paths: death or victory.
2. As long as our officers and teams come here for a year, they will remain laymen. As long as cold beer, hot food, rock music, and all the rest of the fun remains the same. Our command will only be weak, and we want elite troops who, if they will give their lives, can win with a quarter of the existing army.
3. This is how we live, we machine guns, tear them in half, and give them a Bundy.
4. Your subordinates must have moral values, and at the same time be able to use their primitive instincts to kill. No emotion, no excitement, no judgment, because it is judgment that brings us down.

Apocalypse Now quotes

  • Willard (voice-over): 'Someday this war's gonna end'. That'd be just fine with the boys on the boat. They weren't looking for anything more than a way home. Trouble is, I'd been back there, and I knew that it just didn't exist anymore.

  • [quoting Kurtz]

    Willard: In a war there are many moments for compassion and tender action. There are many moments for ruthless action - what is often called ruthless - what may in many circumstances be only clarity, seeing clearly what there is to be done and doing it, directly, quickly, awake, looking at it.
