The best war story ever made

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2016)

Just that, the best depiction of the madness of war in the modern era ever conceived and put in a can.
War has always been what it has always been, horrifying, terrifying, exhilarating, lucrative, and all the other crap humans deal in and with during any period of societally condoned slaughter, counter slaughter, plunder, and material destruction. Most of us only know by here say what that is, and almost all of it has been brought to us in film art. Some of us read, and have gotten accounts from literature. Regardless, there can be a demarcation between modern humanity and all the rest of humanity. That line might actually be moving pictures shown in a dark room,the medium of motion pictures. The human psyche has never in history been raised in consciousness as a species by a single medium, accessible to all, literate, not, ignorant, not, rich, not, in whatever language handy. Those who made, make, and control this media know it's power. Motion pictures has changed how humans relate to the world more than any other factor in our existence. Even religion has had less effect on how humans think. This is why perhaps there is a real difference in BM(before movies), and AM(yup).
Apocalypse is the madness AM humankind enters into when faced with war. If war is madness, being mad is the sane, natural state of a human in war. Apocalypse is this, now, now, now, totally, completely, absolutely. If you love the smell of napalm in the morning...
