Rob Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 how come the americans make loads of films about war is it so that they can acctualy pretend to win one? Ok a bit harsh but very true they have never won one on their own. Apart from the War of Independance. Oh, and technically, the Civil War.

Jspec Germany Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I hope we (the Americans) never have to 'go it alone'. Not for fear of losing or not being able to win, but for the backlash from other countries. I can speak for the Air Force side and tell you that we need no help, but don't mind taking our allies with us. Ok, sometimes we do mind, but that's neither here nor there. edit - and lets not talk about the French, they haven't helped anyone in a long time...

Ewen Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Apocalypse Now is an anti-war film, not exactly flattering to the US army either. One of the best films I've ever seen, on many levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Ah no, they had the Britland Air Force to help them. I never noticed before in AN there is some graffiti that actually says Apocalypse Now on one of the walls in Kurtz's camp. It may well be because the last time I watched the film was on a VHS tape on a 21" colour tube, and now it's DVD on 42" of plasmatic luxury. The colours are so vivid this time around.
