y tho

>>87086066
because come and see was made after it

Because Thin Red Line was made after it.

Not really anti-war. Anti incompetence, anti half measures, anti dilettantism in war maybe. John Milius said in an interview that it was "anti-lie" rather than anti-war.

>>87086066
because All Quiet on the Western Front was made 49 years before it.

Disgustingly overrated. If Seita wasn't an idiot who was willing to put his pride over the lives of his sister and himself maybe they wouldn't have starved to death. The only sad thing is how the Japs still get away with whitewashing their history.

>However the following year saw the release of Apocalypse Now, directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Coppola rewrote the script, which Milius disliked. "He wanted to ruin it, liberalize it, and turn it into Hair," said Milius in 1976. "He sees himself as a great humanitarian, an enlightened soul who will tell you such wonderful things as he does at the end of GODFATHER II-that crime doesn't pay ... Talent-wise, he's no John Ford; character-wise, he's no Steve Spielberg. Francis can't stand to have any other creative influence around ... Francis Coppola has this compelling desire to save humanity when the man is a raving fascist, the Bay Area Mussolini."

Damn son

I didn't know about this. I think enough of what Milius intended shone through even after the re-write though.

He's fourteen years old, of course he's an idiot.
How is it whitewashing to show the misery of civilian children during a war? The director must include a scene where they clearly express that their countries leaders were guilty of this happening? Whose fault it is doesnt matter to the children as they are dying.

FMJ wasn't even that great aside from Ermey.
