I'm not a great war movie fan, but your description of it makes it sound a lot more interesting. I though it was your typical, but talking about it as a dream movie, a finding your way back to yourself movie, that makes it more attractive to me.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658507579160418855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-40995791151593471382014-04-05T21:56:46.007-07:002014-04-05T21:56:46.007-07:00Since it's a journey movie where a group of ch...Since it's a journey movie where a group of characters are on a quest to find a mysterious person--the Wizard and Kurtz--I think they're very similar. In both the characters encounter very strange situations along there journeys.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-27419550316455559472014-04-01T19:59:56.200-07:002014-04-01T19:59:56.200-07:00I thought it was really weird when I first saw it....I thought it was really weird when I first saw it. in subsequent viewings, definitely liked it better.

Sydney ...JoJo -- It's not a film for everyone.<br /><br />Sydney -- I agree about the writing and the depth. The bridge/LSD trip scene stands out for me.<br /><br />Yolanda -- You're missing a great film!<br /><br />Tamara -- I think <i>The Deer Hunter</i> is also an excellent film but with a very different approach than <i>Apocalypse Now</i>. I like the surrealism.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-85933058746382967502014-04-01T12:19:38.883-07:002014-04-01T12:19:38.883-07:00I haven't seen it, but I should. Your comments...I haven't seen it, but I should. Your comments make it even more intriguing to me, because I thought it was another war movie in the company of The Deer Hunter (which I have seen).Tamara Narayanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03725262301091012950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-61290594834787433392014-04-01T11:37:11.379-07:002014-04-01T11:37:11.379-07:00Nope, never seen it - don't plan to!
