Do you think Coppola was pretentious or do you respect his opinions on the hypocritical and circus-like nature of Americans in the Vietnam war?

Nigger you don't understand the movie, check the source material.
I don't have any strong feelings either way about his opinions on those matters, particularly because I have no idea how accurate it really is to what was really happening there. Either way, he made a great film.

You're saying that he wasn't trying to imitate a circus during the bridge scene? Are you saying that Kurtz referencing how politicians said that the outlook of the war was looking better, despite that not being the case. Are you saying the Playboy bunny scene wasn't just dumb entertainment to keep the men's morale up for the sake of appearances? There's more than one theme in this movie, amigo.
