"Apocalypse Now" Video Story

Silent performance is more deadly, rational and calm, and the rhythm is very slow. It is related to the director. I always feel that the director's shooting method is slow. The Vietnam War was a live televised war, and it was shocking to know the news, and the contempt of the Americans was extreme. The flames of war, the fleeing refugees, the ignorance of the American soldiers, and the inadvertent cruel play, made people feel extremely numb. Joy and pain are contrasted sharply in the picture. Savage civilization and civilized savagery. The battlefield makes people's innate sympathy, kindness disappear, human beings are so small, and the eye-catching red people can't stop vomiting. "The war will end one day." It triggers a reflection on human nature. Everyone has two, one to kill and one to love. The director used smoke in many shots to add a mysterious and fantastic look. The ending is montage, the changes of light and shadow, the picture is really beautiful, and the blessing of warm colors is great. This film compares the damage to people in war. The in-depth shooting and presentation are not superficial in war and military operations. The coherence of the plot is slightly worse, but whether it is the picture or the theme conveyed is clear and beautiful, the language of the shots is really rich, and I admire the director's skills. In 1979, when such a film was made, I was shocked. At the end of the filming of the mysterious power of the East, I personally think that it occupies a bit too much and is long-winded. The foreshadowing of the plot, the generation of the audience's emotions, even if the later editing pictures are not related, but the audience will understand from their previous feelings of watching the movie.

Apocalypse Now quotes

  • 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.

  • Willard (voice-over): On the river, I thought that the minute I looked at him, I'd know what to do, but it didn't happen. I was in there with him for days, not under guard; I was free, but he knew I wasn't going anywhere. He knew more about what I was going to do than I did. If the generals back in Nha Trang could see what I saw, would they still want me to kill him? More than ever, probably. And what would his people back home want if they ever learned just how far from them he'd really gone? He broke from them, and then he broke from himself. I'd never seen a man so broken up and ripped apart.
