The surfing siege scene was nuts
Also Brando doesn’t even do anything. Every shot is him sitting around in the dark babbling or reading poetry

He wasn't supposed to be coherent, he was supposed to be psychotic and emotionally scarred. He pulls it off masterfully imo.

I love the smell of blank bumps in the morning. One time we had a Johnsmeyer thread bumped for 12 hours. When it was done, I scrolled up. Not one text bump. That 180 smell, the whole thread. Smells like... victory. Some day this board is gonna end. |

Date: February 14th, 2025 9:34 PM Author: ultramarine odious depressive faggot firefighter I don't think apocalypse now was ever supposed to be an accurate depiction. It was inspired by Heart of Darkness, and was kind of a surrealist/absurdist interpretation of Vietnam. Like Kilgore introduced like the stereotypical hardass, but then he starts talking about surfing, and wants them to surf while bombs are falling. His famous monologue about napalm and how he ends it wistfully with "some day this wars gonna end."
Imo it was an exaggeration of the causes of war and horrors of war. It was never "this is how it actually went down, man." |
