| APOCALYPSE NOW Based on Joseph Conrad's Heart
Of Darkness, this is a controversial addition to the multitude of Vietnam war movies
in existence. We follow Captain Willard on his mission into Camboia to assassinate a
renegade Green Beret who has set himself up as a God among a local tribe.
| "I was going to the worst place
in the world and I didn't even know it yet. Weeks away and hundreds of miles up a river
that snaked through the war like a main circuit cable - plugged straight into Kurtz. It
was no accident that I got to be the caretaker of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz's memory -
anymore than being back in Saigon was an accident. There is no way to tell his story
without telling my own. And if his story really is a confession, then so is mine." (Captain Benjamin L.
Willard) |
