In Reply to: "Apocalypse Now" : A Brief Review posted by AudioHead on October 6, 1999 at 14:22:50:
Hi,
Apocalypse Now (AN) was a great movie for it's day. It's still good, as far as i am concerned. The thing that i love is that it is the obvious standard for 'nam. But they can't admit it. Read a review of most of the literature and movies covering Nam, by a vet, in the Atlantic once. The guy
had little good to say about AN. But he referred back to it as a reference
in almost every paragraph. This movie hits a simple, awful truth. Like
a car wreck, you can't look away, can't admit your involvement. It's been over 20 years and i still remember the hair on the back of my neck standing
up when the sound stopped in the river battle.
