The film begins with Jim Morrison's "The end" with the protagonist's inner monologue and memories of the Vietnam battlefield, which at the beginning foreshadows a twisted mood and a "death" style ending. (The end lyrics are attached below for ease of entering the mood) This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I 'll never look into your eyes...again Can you picture what will be So limitless and free Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand In a...desperate land Lost in a roman...wilderness of pain And all the children are insane All the children are insane Waiting for the summer rain, yeah There's danger on the edge of town Ride the king's highway, baby Weird scenes inside the gold mine Ride the highway west, baby Ride the snake, ride the snake To the lake, the ancient lake, baby The snake is long, seven miles Ride the snake...he's old, ll never follow me The end of laughter and soft lies The end of nights we tried to die This is the end The movie is made up of several episodes: the opening monologue at Captain Willard's American Residence; the Symphony Massacre on the Mekong; ; The magical encounter of the French manor; the encounter of the Khmer war zone; deep into the "heart of darkness". The helicopter massacre of the symphony "Valkyrie" soundtrack is very imposing and shocking. The way of the family's political conversation at the French manor table is very magical. They debated from war to political views, national interests, and then argued about human nature, freedom, belief, nation, and finally the family broke up. In fact, their thinking itself is contradictory. Their positions are inconsistent, or they have no position, and their thinking has no foundation. It is also because there is no foundation in life. And the nervous organist at the dinner table, playing some inappropriate accompaniment, and finally fell to the ground himself. The whole plot is absurd, and their conversation is also absurd, precisely because the content they talk about is absurd. Politics, freedom, human nature, and beliefs are absurd things in the chaotic and real social reality. Any thought is absurd. It is groundless and can be twisted! No one is truly right, and no "ism" is truly right. (Some interesting dialogues are quoted below) "Soldiers died, but politicians survived." "'French Women's League. We support Vietnam.' Traitors! Communist traitors!" "Give us money, we are all communists. China, give us weapons. We are brothers. Maybe they hate Russia, China, more than America. They are just loyal to their country." "For whom did they die? Communists!" It is about the fact that under the influence of the war goal of "victory", any doctrine will create death.) The core of the film's ideology is mainly the last part that goes deep into the "heart of darkness". Deep in the rainforest, on the ruins of an ancient temple, a mentally disturbed war genius (US General Colez) accused of a murder by the government rules his dark kingdom, ignorant Vietnamese, sluggish American soldiers, Vietnamese In total, the hanging corpse, the lying corpse, the rotting corpse, the malaria, the putrid, the heads all over the ground are his most loyal people, his followers, and the enslavers of his nightmares. But in fact, he is not completely crazy, he has ideas, he has thoughts, and in a sense, he is also a poet. "I remember when I was in the special forces... it seems like hundreds of years ago... We went to a village to vaccinate the children and vaccinated the children and we left that village and then there was a An old man ran to find us, he was crying and couldn't speak. We went back to the village to check that the Viet Cong had come. They cut off the hands of all the children who had been injected into a small hill, a pile of small hands... I I remember crying and sobbing like an old woman I gritted my teeth but didn't know what to do and then I woke up like a diamond bullet went right into my head" He went through the killing, And then engaged in killing, he was ruled, then ruled, he was strong, and then twisted, all this he could justify in his mind, but when he went through this, he "crazy" or his soul "sublimated", He can no longer find any reason for himself, or even think about it! "You're an assassin?" "I'm a soldier." "You're nothing, you're a messenger, you're a grocery store employee, messenger..." ... "I've seen a lot of horrible things You've seen things but you don't have the right to say I'm a murderer. You can kill me. What fear has a face You have to make friends with Fear and moral decay are your friends. If not they are the enemies you fear They are the real enemies... "He knows his end, death. Because he can't imagine the world should have a good end. But there is one more thing he can do, and that is to let others know the end of this kind of people he foresees, their own end. Either let others die, or die by himself. He chose his own death, and what is death? Death can be a kind of deification, or a kind of demonization, but in the end it is a kind of nothingness. "We are heartless people. , we fill our bodies with clutter, we cuddle with each other and our heads are stuffed with straw. When we speak in low voices, our voices are dry like hay in the wind, silent, without the meaning of life or the footprints of mice under the shards of glass in the wine cellar are the same as heaven and earth, sharp and shapeless, no shadow of color, nor paralyzed Power is like a gesture without motion. Those who look directly, see the shape of the soul.” In the end, the movie uses a psychedelic technique to simultaneously perform the banquet killing the cow and the “Demon King” Corz being stabbed in the background of the song “The end”. The scene, along with Corz's verse chanting "Horror... Horror! "End of the plot. The theme of the film is similar to "120 Days of Sodom" in a sense, both have a "heart of darkness", the Khmer region and Sodom, both are told in After twisting, it goes to death. But "So" is more prophecy, and "Now" seems to be more realistic (although it is called Apocalypse), "So" uses fictional places, no explicit era, and fictional characters , which makes him more extensive and abstract in the coverage of prophecy. Moreover, "Suo" is much more ruthless than "Now" in the destructiveness of the ending. The ending of "Suo" is merciless and completely destroyed. , but "Now" still left a lot of well-meaning plots at the end, such as "Demon King" Kerz reading his consciousness and his poems, the hostile look of the little Vietnamese girl standing outside the door, such as Willa After Captain De killed Korze and was regarded as the "new king" by everyone, he resolutely left. This is like saying that as long as the chaos is over, the war is over, and the lunatic dies, there is still hope for everything to get better. But in "So" The most benign plot is probably the accompaniment pianist who couldn't bear it and jumped off the building to commit suicide! What the disciple John wrote was mainly an early warning of the future of the world, including prophecies about the end of the world. It was an important basis for missionaries to preach. Many of these myths and parables became an enduring source of art in the Christian world. Sodom: Originated from "Genesis" in the Bible. In Abraham's time (about 1,900 years ago), there were two ancient cities in what is now the Middle East, one Sodom and one Gomorrah. Abraham's nephew The son Lot, lusting after worldly pleasures, settled in the city of Sodom. The inhabitants of both Sodom and Gomorrah were homosexuals. They changed the "benefits of the sexes between men and women" to those of the opposite sex. "In God's eyes, it was a sinful city. God decided to destroy these two cities. Because of Abraham's prayer, God agreed to rescue Lot from the city. Several angels entered the city and came to Lot's house. To lead Lot out of the city. The city people heard that there were strangers coming to Lot's house, and the whole city gathered at the door of Lot's house and shouted, asking Lot to let these strangers out to have sex with them. Lot pleaded with them in every way, even willing to give The two daughters who were still virgins took their place, but they refused. The angels took Lot's family out of the city in the dark night. At the dawn of the day, a fiery lava spewed out, destroying Sodom and Gomorrah. Of the two cities and all the people who lived in them, only Lot's family escaped.
