Self-revelation in modern apocalypse

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2020)

Here I just want to briefly record some of the lines shocked by this film, and some of my inspired ideas.
From a technical perspective, the soundtrack, filming, editing, light and shadow, each can come out and praise. But in terms of content, it has reached an unmatched height in other war films. I never thought that war films could be shot like this. Unlike the previous war films, although they are all criticizing the behavior of war and the impact of war on people, they are rarely raised to such an extent.
The name Modern Apocalypse is also wonderful. How many people will be revealed to the people who have watched this film.
The reason turn Kurtz to insane
Why does Kurtz go crazy until he destroys himself? Or how did the war destroy a "good" person? You can get a glimpse of the other two or three languages.
In the war, all the human moral concepts are subverted, and you will start to fight for yourself, good vs evil. Although people will encounter many similar situations in their daily lives, the existing social rules and moral standards will restrict your every move. But war is different. Under such special circumstances as war, the rational conscience and moral concepts you believe in will be broken, and your self-struggle will not be as simple as before The temptation will be unimaginable. Therefore, once you reach your endurance limit, the inner evil side is likely to explode. After all, under the special conditions of war, it is too painful to continue to be kind, to become a evil person, or to live more easily without psychological burden.
2. Why US lose in the Vietnam War?
I feel that the whole theme of the film is actually, why did the United States lose the Vietnam War? The answer given by the movie is: Why fight?
There are two kinds of American soldiers. One is that they do not know why they are fighting. Even if they live on the battlefield, they still live like the muddled appearance of their time in the United States. For them, it was just a different place to serve. The other is just fighting for a concept called Biggest Nothing in History. They have a lofty ideal, that is, to fight communism and spread the concept of democracy, which will make them occupy the so-called "moral highland" in this war, and will cause most Vietnamese to eventually move towards them. Therefore, they may not need to do too much to make the Viet Cong defeat. Among these two kinds of people, there is even one kind, the war-weary represented by Captain Willard. As soldiers, they had to obey the orders and came to the battlefield. But in their hearts, they are tired of war. After all, after World War II, the United States has been actively participating in or launching various wars around the world, including the Vietnam War, and has also fought for more than 10 years. Status. In this war, Americans do not have the concept of winning.
On the other hand, the Vietnamese soldiers clearly know why they are fighting. They fought for their own land, for their own family, for all they had. What they are fighting for is something that can really be in their hands. Once they lose, they will face an unknown future, and the power of this fear makes them take up arms without hesitation. . In addition, their nationalist sentiment has aggravated their concept of winning. Even if they have differences within themselves, on the most crucial point, that is, they are Vietnamese and they want to fight for Vietnam, they have no doubt at all. When the Americans thought they were attacking communism rather than the Vietnamese, the Vietnamese thought that the Americans attacked Vietnam. So they are fighting for Vietnam, not those so-called doctrines. At this point, they have the belief that the American soldiers cannot defeat the victory.
3. Nature of War
In fact, the movie doesn't say much about the essence of war. It just shows the cruelty, cruelty and dirtyness of war in one or two lines. The most silent thing is that we clearly know that the war will never end.
4. PTSD of the War
In fact, this part of the personal feeling is closely related to the first part why Kurtz finally went crazy. People trapped in war always endure the trauma caused by the war, and most of these traumas are actually negative and negative. The most uncomfortable thing is that the more sober people, they will fall into the impact of war until they are destroyed.
I wrote some of my immature little thoughts.
Finally, pray for world peace.
