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

    You have to drink 10 bottles of beer, smoke 20 packs of cigarettes in one breath, smoke the marijuana leaves from a tree, have fun and be exhausted all night to see the essence of this film, because you have too many conscious and unconscious states. , and Comrade Coppola has already crossed the hill of consciousness

    Three hours of sermon hypnosis. The so-called war is nothing but a sleepwalking in the wild waves of smoke, cannonballs, blood, sludge, and rain. There is no depth of strategy or strength of will, only the temptation and sense of swallowing like drugs. Death is the only way to get rid of the nightmare, but the nightmare will not stop, and there will be countless people coming and going. This is the only law for the operation of contemporary civilization. Coppola completed the most expensive psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in the history of film with a kind of extravagance that belongs to the largest power in the capitalist world.

Apocalypse Now quotes

  • Willard: How many people had I already killed? There were those six that I knew about for sure. Close enough to blow their last breath in my face. But this time, it was an American and an officer. That wasn't supposed to make any difference to me, but it did. Shit... charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets in the Indy 500. I took the mission. What the hell else was I gonna do?

  • Kurtz: What do you call it when the assassins accuse the assassin? A lie. A lie and we have to be merciful.
