Can only be regarded as a classic, not a good movie

"Apocalypse Now" Coppola's work is adapted from "Heart of Darkness". The tone of the whole film is dark. The first half is Wilder's various experiences in Vietnam. Through contact with the upper echelons and the soldiers around him, From an objective point of view, he showed the appearance of the war. It can be seen from his own population that he gradually began to understand the reason why Colonel Kurz became unsound.
The film uses a lot of narration to metaphor the absurdity of war and its destruction of human nature through Wilder’s dictation, but it is very blunt, compared to the previously seen "Schindler's List" and "Full Metal Shell" , Its narrative method appears deliberate and mechanical.
The second half mainly describes what happened when a group of them entered Cambodia and stayed in Cambodia. When human beings are selfish, everything that does not concern themselves is unreasonable. In the following shots, the fishermen are shot and the girls are solved. , But saved a dog (war is in power, beasts are worth more than human lives), the result of the annihilation of human nature is all the scenes that have happened after Cambodia, but the dramatic interpretation in the lens language has become so awkward that it is very awkward. It's hard to see the development route of the story's emotional context. Finally, the more classic montage combination (the montage of cattle slaughter and murder) can be regarded as a tribute to Soviet movies. The Kurišov-style lens grouping method can be said to be a wonderful show at the beginning, and it becomes a tribute at the end. This kind of weird explanation, the performance of the ending is like the spiritual "death cycle" that appeared in the "Source Code". When Kurz died, the madness had ended, but the new madness had just begun-Wei Erd is the new madness. As long as the war is not over, people like Kurz will never be wiped out.
The movie story is great, but it's not that good. The three-hour movie is not very rewarding. I am going to brush the all-metal bullet case and Apocalypse Now, hoping to see something different from the first time. It is not recommended for people who watch less than a hundred films, its boring.

    The Hollow Man by TS Eliot A hollow deity. The first half is ridiculous, and the last part of the temple talks, there is no craziest, only crazier. Basically, I completely rewrite the dark heart, very literary, and his knees are broken. PS Harrison Ford and Dennis Hope are so beautiful in this one. How despised is the hippie generation...

    It's not because of the length. The reason I suggest to watch it carefully is that after reading it, you will doubt the meaning of human civilization and the world. If there is not enough philosophical quality, it is really exhausting. Coppola's strong pessimism is impregnated here. I don't think it is difficult to understand, but it is too uncomfortable after reading. Even if it is preaching, this preaching is quite frightening! In this sense, this movie is great! 8.9

Apocalypse Now quotes

  • Willard: Oh man... the bullshit piled up so fast in Vietnam, you needed wings to stay above it.

  • Willard: No wonder Kurtz put a weed up Command's ass. The war was being run by a bunch of four star clowns who were gonna end up giving the whole circus away.
