  Like pretty much every character in the film, the character Trump is cosplaying as has been driven insane by an insane war.

  He tried to use Born in the USA as a campaign song. Media literacy isn’t MAGA’s strongest suit.

    He plays the mainstream media like a fiddle.

      It’s not that difficult now after multiple decades of decay for media organizations caused by “this quarter is all that matters” business idiot administration.

  One time there was a heat wave in my city, and I don’t have air conditioning at home. The movie theater was playing apocalypse now, I think it was the directors cut. It was 3 hours long so I bought a ticket because I wanted 3 hours of air conditioning. I had no idea what a great movie I was stumbling into! It was about war and how horrific it is.

    That’s an interesting way to discover that film. You must have gone on one hell of a ride that afternoon.

    Going in neutral without expectations is the best way to enjoy a movie in my opinion, there’s a indie theatre near my home that mostly plays older classics from US and around the world. I’ve had my mind blown by movies that came out decades ago, good movies age very well

    We just got it on DVD. It’s the “Redux” edition. 3 hours 22 mins. It’s the 6th longest movie in our collection behind LoTR extendeds, Beh-Hur, and Lawrence of Arabia.

      I had the redux years ago. I’ve come around to the theatrical being the best though.

  I dunno, his government tracks so far with what I remember of the film.

  1. Feeling of Endless Hell
  2. Waiting for it to be over
  3. Everyone dying or in pain, in some cases at the hands of their own stupidity
  4. Pretty much the only person who gets what they want is the one main character leading the thing
  5. Swamp

  I could believe it, but my pessimistic interpretation is that whoever made this meme has seen it and doesn’t think Kilgore is a monster.

  • rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Probably thinks Lt Col Kilgore is the protagonist.

    He was killing all those filthy evil Communists. Only a tankie would suggest he wasn’t an epic super dude.

  Every single character in that movie is a piece of shit. That one’s a vainglorious piece of shit.

    What about them ? Jay “Chef” Hicks
    Lance B. Johnson
    Roxanne Sarrault

    I asked the machine, here is what it said

    Jay "Chef" Hicks	Cowardice, instability, disloyalty, inability to cope with war.
    Lance B. Johnson	Emotional detachment, negligence, descent into madness.
    Roxanne Sarrault	Colonial arrogance, moral ambiguity, emotional manipulation.
    

    I have a hard time calling them pieces of shit for that. Seems normal to me to refuse to play the game of war and recognizing military duty as the infectious spook that it is.

  See the directors cut or don’t bother

    Is that “Redux?” We just picked it up, but haven’t watched it.

    source

    • umbraroze@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      “Redux” is the extended cut, which has ~45 extra minutes of stuff that was cut from the original theatrical release. Some of the scenes are great, but some could have been left on the cutting room floor. “The Final Cut” is basically the definitive extended version.

  Trump can’t surf!

• salty_chief@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Great War movie by the way. That guy is a surfer fanatic and basically requested a famous surfer to surf in a hot zone. Dude was crazy just waking on beach with bullets landing around him.
